Latvia's 10th EU Anniversary

Central and Eastern Europe - how are they faring after 10 years in the EU? We look at Latvia's experience, and ask what it tells us about the European project's future.

Latvia and nine other former-Communist countries joined the EU 10 years ago this week. Joe Lynam reports from the Baltic state on how it has fared over the last decade, and the country's varying attitudes towards Brussels - and Moscow. But what does Latvia's experience tell us about the European project's future? Presenter Justin Rowlatt asks economist Christian Schulz of Berenberg Bank.

Also in the programme, Lucy Kellaway explains why we should not loathe office sycophants, but praise them instead.
