Tha Serbia a' str矛 gus gluasad air adhart agus dealachadh bho cheangalaichean le a h-eachdraidh fhuilteach. Tha an tagradh airson ballrachd san Aonadh 贰貌谤辫补ch air ceum air adhart a ghabhail an t-seachdain-sa. A dh'aindeoin an adhartais ged-t脿 tha iomagain air a bhith ann mun 矛re de choirbteachd san d霉thaich agus cuideachd gu bheil leithid luchd-leanntainn ball-coise air a bhith ag adhbhrachadh f貌irneart san d霉thaich.

Serbia is striving to move forward and to sever ties with its recent bloody past. This week the application for EU membership took a step forward. Despite progress made, however, there are worries about levels of corruption in the country and about recent violence caused by football hooligans.

Chan e rud 霉r a th' ann an f貌irneart bho buidhnean armaichte sa Ghr猫ig. Ach on a chaidh buill dhen bhuidheann November 17 an glacadh, bha d貌chas ann gun robh an str矛 seachad. Tha draghan ann a-nise ged-t脿 gu bheil bagairt 霉r air f脿ire, agus buidhnean 霉ra air nochdadh a tha air a bhith a' toirt ionnsaigh air poilis, luchd-naidheachd, is luchd-turais. 'S e an Sect of Revolutionaries t猫 de na buidhnean. Dh'猫irich iad 脿s an 霉praid an d猫idh balach ann an Athens a mharbhadh leis a' phoilis ann an 2008. An cunnart 's e gu bheil a' bhuidheann ag r脿dh nach eil ro-innleachd sam bith eile aca ach an d霉thaich a thionndadh na "raon chogaidh". Chaidh Darren Linc dhan Ghr猫ig airson a' ch霉is a rannsachadh.

Criminal acts by armed groups are not a new phenomenon in Greece. Since those who are believed to be the last few members of the November 17 group were prosecuted, there was a hope that the effort to neutralise such groups had prevailed. There are now fears that a new threat exists, with new groups having appeared, threatening police, journalists, and tourists. One such group is the Sect of Revolutionaries. They emerged from the rioting which followed the shooting of a teenager by Athens police in 2008. The danger now is that they claim to have no political motive - just a desire to turn Greece into a "war zone". Darren Laing travelled to Greece to research the situation.
