Belgium was split along historical lines but they talked over their differences and found common ground. The result of that was the beginning of the European Union which is why Brussels, Belgium is the EU capital today.
So why can't the Ukrainians solve their problems the EU way?
- mtrimpe 13y agoBecause being split between France and the Netherlands is a conflict of slightly different magnitude than being split between Russia and Europe. And I don't think that if you talk with Belgians many will agree that their model is in any way, shape or form to be used as a model for other countries.
- louhike 13y agoBelgium had a lot of problems recently. Even if it is not on the same order of magnitude than Ukraine, there are conflicts between both parts. Not so long ago, they did not find a way to form a government for several months and they often speak of splitting.
- reirob 13y agoAs far as i know Belgium has not yet settled their national conflict between french-speaking and non-french-speaking territories. Any Belgians here to shed some light?
