  1. I believe that this is an example of pressure on a little country we can see. Joining EU or making the decisions, at last, should be free and not "if you do that", and "we do this" politics. The situation is without justice and honesty if we can see pressure and forcing of events and decisions. What are the opinions among Icelanders, Dori? Thank you again for updating!

  2. Another important point to think about: this is done by countries of European Union to the future possible member. Isn't it a sign of the attitude and policy from the very start?
