It's the latest day of reckoning for the single currency, as Europe's leaders are set for a key two-day summit in Brussels that will decide the region's future.

British politician and the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage has slammed EU bosses over European crisis. "It's even more serious than economics because if you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the Euro project is destroyed by the markets before that" - Farage said at the end of his speech. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com

Serbia has fulfilled the final demands of the UN war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Ex-Croatian Serb leader - Goran Hadjich - has been arrested after eight years on the run. He's accused of atrocities during Croatia's war for independence from Yugoslavia in the early 90's, ranging from murder to religious persecution. It follows the arrest of Ratko Mladic, who was wanted for similar crimes. The detentions were key requirements of Serbia's bid to join the EU. For more insight on the story RT talks to Dr Srdja Trifkovic - foreign affairs editor at Chronicles magazine. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com
