Overcome divisions in EU

The burning question of how Europe can weather the debt crisis has divided the EU states ahead of the summit in Brussels. But the hardening of fronts will hardly improve the situation, the daily Delo writes and recommends a greater sense of community: "For the first time a block of 'euro solidarity' countries has formed against a block of countries which exhibit 'un-European behaviour', the two biggest EU states under the leadership of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The two shouldn't be allowed to dictate a solution to the others. A solution to the challenge of protecting the single currency must yet be found, for Merkel and Sarkozy have no solution. Moreover when the money is in short supply it's impossible to preserve and above all rescue the single currency without a common monetary policy that applies to (and can be executed for) all states equally. And when the economy, the budget and development are all struggling and you're stuck in a crisis it could all be over quickly in the EU."
