People pass by a large poster of Ukraine's imprisoned former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko next to the Euro 2012 Fan Zone in Kiev, Ukraine, Saturday evening, June 30, 2012. A Ukrainian court on last Tuesday again postponed Tymoshenko's appeal hearing against her seven-year jail sentence, in what her lawyers say is an attempt by the government to prevent her seeking justice in the European Court of Human Rights. Tymoshenko is seeking to overturn an abuse of office conviction the West has condemned as politically motivated. Tymoshenko's jailing in October has led to complaints from Washington and Brussels, and a boycott by Western leaders of Euro 2012 football championship games hosted by Ukraine.

FILE - In this July 5, 2013 file picture German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich attends a press conference in Nuremberg, Germany. Allegations of widespread U.S. data surveillance have created turbulence for Angela Merkel on what so far looked like a smooth cruise to a third term as German chancellor, even though it remains to be seen whether the flap will threaten her seriously. Merkel's center-left opponents have seized on disclosures of National Security Agency surveillance programs by leaker Edward Snowden to assert that she hasn't been doing enough to confront Washington and protect Germans' personal data - and to cast doubt on officials' assertions that they didn't know of the programs. The opposition apparently hopes that the issue will breathe life into a so-far stumbling and gaffe-prone campaign for Sept. 22 parliamentary elections. A healthy economy, low unemployment and perceptions that Merkel has managed Europe's debt crisis well have bolstered the chancellor. Merkel's center-left challenger, Peer Steinbrueck, is suggesting that the government turned a blind eye to violations of Germans' rights and that Merkel violated her oath of office, in which she swore to "keep damage from" her people.

A woman casts her ballot during presidential elections, at a polling station in downtown Belgrade, Serbia, Sunday, Feb. 3, 2008. Serbians were voting Sunday in a runoff presidential election that may bring an ally of late hardline President Slobodan Milosevic back to power, before a potentially explosive split by the Serbian province of Kosovo. The closely contested race pits pro-Western incumbent Boris Tadic against rightwing extremist Tomislav Nikolic, who ruled with Milosevic during his bloody Balkan wars of the 1990s. (js1) Voa News
