Tha barrachd ga chosg air Polasaidh Coitcheann an Àiteachais (CAP) na dad sam bi eile ann am buidseat an EU - £48bn sa bhliadhna. Tha e a’ toirt subsadaidhean do thuathanaich is croitearan, ag amas ri dhèanamh cinnteach gu bheil an t-Aonadh ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ch a’ dèanamh biadh gu leor, is a’ cumail dòigh-beatha àiteachais a’ dol. Ann an 2014 thèid ath-nuathachadh a dhèanamh air CAP, agus tha oifigearan bho riaghaltas na h-Alba an-dràsta a’ ruighinn air sgìrean àiteachais airson na tha an Coimisean ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ch a’ moladh a mhìneachadh do dhaoine, tha Darren Linc a’ faighneachd dè tha croitearan ag iarraidh às

More is spent on the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) than anything else in the EU budget - £48bn every year. It subsidises crofters and farmers, aims to secure a sustainable source of food for European markets, and to preserve agriculture as a way of live and of work. In 2014 CAP will be reformed, and officials from the Scottish government are currently touring the country in an effort to inform farmers and crofters of what the European Commission is recommending for the next CAP. This week, Darren Laing asks what crofters would like to see.

Anns na grunn bhliadhnaichean on ghairm Cosobho neo-eisimeileachd chan eil còmhstri air a bhith fada air falbh sa cheann a tuath den dùthaich. Tha mòran de na Serbich a tha a’ tàmh an sin fhathast dlùth do Bhelgrade agus chan eil iad ag aithneachadh Cosobho mar dhùthaich fa leth. Tha cuid de na Serbich air gàrraidhean–bacaidh a chur suas gus na h-ùghdarrasan Chosobhan a chumail a-mach. Anns na mìosan a dh’fhalbh tha cùisean air fàs nas miosa le fòirneart aig amannanan eadar na diofar chinnidhean. A bheil eiseimpleirean de choimhearsnachdan ann an sgìrean eile de Chosobho far a bheil càirdeas nas fheàrr eadar nan cinnidhean a dh’aindheoin dìleab a’ chogaidh?

In the few years since Kosovo declared independence controversy has been simmering in the north of the country. Many Serbs living there still look to Belgrade and refuse to recognise Kosovo. Some have erected barricades to keep the Kosovan authorities out. The last few months have seen sporadic outbreaks of violence between Kosovan Serbs and Kosovan Albanians. Are there examples to be found elsewhere in Kosovo of communities where the people from different ethnic backgrounds have friendlier relationships despite the tensions left by the war?
