This issue includes:
- Key economic news for all of countries
- Country monitoring focusing
- Data and forecast at country and regional level
Hungary: Over 82 % of voters that turned out for the referendum held on 9 March voted for the abolition of the doctor’s appointment fee, daily hospitalisation fee and the tuition fee. On the whole, the results are a clear victory for the opposition party FIDESZ and a setback for the government and its reform process. The official referendum’s results will however be announced on March 14, the day before Hungary’s national holiday (the Anniversary of the Revolution), when demonstrations could occur. As a consequence, popular unrest and a government reshuffle are possible but a deep government crisis is unlikely.
Kosovo: On February 17, 2008, following the failure of two years of internationally mediated talks on the UN-administered territory’s future, Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence, becoming the seventh state to emerge from former Yugoslavia. It was soon recognised as a sovereign state by the United States and major EU countries1 despite the fierce resistance of Serbia, backed by Russia2.
Rusia: On March 2, 2008, Dmitry Medvedev won Russia’s presidential election with 70.28 % of votes. Communist Party chief Zyuganov won 17.72 %, while ultranationalist Zhirinovsky had 9.35 % of votes. Medvedev’s landslide victory was assured by Putin’s blessing in December 2007, when Putin announced him as his successor, while promising also to become Russia’s next Prime Minister.
