| Carpathian Ruthenia or a new neighbour on the horizon? |
| Michal Ondrejèík | 01.08.2010

In the following lines I shall speak of a republic which strives to compete with Ukrainian power in the Zakarpattia Oblast. The reason for its origin is the fact that since 1991 Ukraine has been ignoring the requests of Carpathian Rusyns, who supported the status of a special self-governing administrative territory in the 1991 referendum by 78.2 percent of votes. This autonomy of Carpathian Rusyns has remained unrealized until present time. Following many attempts to negotiations with Ukrainian representatives, on 1 December, 2008, Rusyn activists decided to declare the restoration of pre-Soviet status of the Republic of Carpathian Ruthenia because according to Rusyn representatives, Czechoslovakia doesn't exist any longer , and the only way to realize this status is the declaration...

| Gas conflict between Russia and Ukraine and its impact on the energy policy of Poland |

Poland has been covering the majority, almost three quarters, of its earth gas consumption by supplies from the gas pipeline Yamal. Only the remaining third of raw material supply flows through Ukrainian gas pipelines. Therefore the cut of gas supplies for Ukraine, which the Russian concern Gazprom carried out in January 2009, didn't have such an impact on Polish economy as on other countries dependent on Russian energy material supplies, for instance, Bulgaria and Slovakia. Problems with earth gas supply, however, haven't been solved by the conclusion of an agreement signed by the prime ministers of Russia and Ukraine Vladimir Putin and Yulia Tymoshenko. Gazpromʼs daughter company RosUkrEnergo (RUE), which fulfilled the task of an intermediary as regards gas supplies for Ukraine, was expelled from Ukrainian market...
