Europe.view: Westward words
A fictional open letter to Barack Obama. A letter by east European luminaries to the American administration has attracted much attention. Here is what they couldn’t have said and didn’t.
"We are aware of our shortcomings. Our countries have been complacent, particularly since joining the EU. Our political class has lost the public’s confidence. We have allowed the EU’s expansion to falter; it obsesses about tedious and irrelevant constitutional reforms, rather than dealing with big questions such as energy security and competitiveness. It is not surprising that you don’t take the EU as seriously as it takes itself."
