Congratulations to Mr. Van Rompuy for helping the EU powers to find a compromise.
Diplomats credit him with a shrewd sense of deal-making and a determination that is belied by his quiet anti-charisma, and he has already begun to win plaudits from Paris, Berlin and other capitals.

Finally a politician to be proud of as a Belgian!
The mouse is dull grey
It steps into the sunshine
The mouse is snow white
“Finally a politician to be proud of as a Belgian!”
Did you perhaps mean compatriot? I know that it is easy to be making mistakes in circumstances such as the yours.
@Jarrel: wtf are you talking about? What mistake did I make? I can’t say that I’m a Belgian? Can you explain why not? Last time I checked my passport it actually did say that I am.
