Eh, I was writing a long post about why I think its unavoidable that the EU integrates Georgia and Armenia in the end.
They're nominally in Europe, Georgia is stridently pro-Western, both of 'em are Christian islands in a rather hostile Islamic environment. The latter means that, if the EU doesn't step in, they're basically surrendered to Russia's whims, something Georgia at least has been stridently resisting.
Oh, and Georgia = strategically crucial gas/oil pipeline that will enable the West to bypass Russia altogether in case of trouble.
I was also saying that all of the Balkans will eventually be integrated too. In fact, its a bit lost in the furor around Turkey but the EU last week just
agreed the first step for Serbia and Montenegro's membership.
And in the end - you know, hypothetically speaking: it takes something like 7 euro a head a month (not gonna calculate it again) for the current EU citizens to actually fund a comortable 1000 euro/month income for each and every Bosnian/Herzegovinian. Thats the size we're talking about.
Cant say that for Russia...
Was gonna say all that and more, but then the computer spontaneously restarted...
