According to preliminary reports, international observers detected no major irregularities with Albania's voting, and the Socialist Party coalition -- the party in government -- appears to be leading. If this is the case at the end of the count, hopefully the opposition accepts things peacefully. Edi Rama is a fun politician name.

Big protests in Armenia, primarily over electricity price hikes.

Oh yeah, there have been multiple big protests in Armenia about electricity prices. The economy has taken a large hit from the Russian economic downturn -- Russia is a primary trade partner and a large number of Armenians rely on remittances from family members working in Russia to support themselves; the ruble's fall in value has made things very difficult for a lot of people in Armenia (and Central Asia for that matter). The government is looking to hike electricity prices by about a fifth. Not a lot of people can afford that! Look for more and bigger protests, especially past August 1 when the increased prices are set to go into effect.

A brisk report by Nolan Peterson from eight days on the front line of Pisky. Under constant artillery and sniper fire, the Ukranian soldiers are supplied almost entirely by volunteers and are caught in the Catch-22 of complying with Minsk 2, which means it takes hours to call on heavy weaponry when they're under a real Russian-backed attack. http://dailysignal.com/2015/06/20/ukraine-war-looks-like-8-days-front-line/

Albania is mostly done counting its votes and the Socialist Party-led coalition won about three quarters of the mayoral elections, including Tirana. The OSCE is criticizing the politicization of the electoral committee and noted some other issues with the election, but there weren't any irregularities or credible allegations of something like large amounts of ballot stuffing, etc. So good for Albania!

So apparently there are protests over price hikes in Armenia, is anyone here a little bit knowledgeable about the situation there. Also being that Armenia does straddle the Middle East and Eastern European cultural boundaries I wasn't sure whether I should put it here or in the middle east thread. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/06/armenia-protest-power-price-hikes-turn-violent-150623140135272.html quote:Armenia protest over power price hikes turns violent

But how do you first enter Europe through Hungary's borders? Are there really all that many people coming in from Serbia? If anything a rule like that aught to be to Hungary's benefit.
