ELDR draft Congress resolutions - an overview

You never really know what you're going to get when it comes to resolutions from the various member parties of ELDR, although there are some telltale hints as to what might emerge. Some of the parties from candidate nations are, to put not too fine a point on it, keen to address issues related to their neighbourhood, others tend towards economic issues and LYMEC, the youth wing, tend towards the libertarian fringe (perhaps it's just that I'm getting old, but it wasn't like that in my day...).

Anyway, here are the resolutions to be considered, gathered into headings for somebody's convenience...
