From what I've read, the government has been pushing the idea of joining the EU but the population is very divided on whether it's a good idea--perhaps less than 50% are in favor.
Asking the EU to help with your economy is like asking the Red Chinese to help with your human rights.
Well, it better dam well happen in my lifetime. I got alot of stuff I want to try out before I leave this mortal coil.
