The former communist Europe has a huge potential for GA.

I hope they follow the example of Croatia and do it sensibly, with 1 policeman = "international airport and Customs" And avgas of course.

Rather than follow e.g. Albania where you get a bill as long as your arm, totalling over 200 euros, including a charge for runway lights (in daytime). Apparently Tirana got a western company to run its operations. The worst thing these "new GA" countries can do is let in officials from the UK, EASA, Eurocontrol to "show" them how to run things because all those people are just cynical job creators.

I am from the Czech Republic, which has gone sort of halfway, having totally brown-nosed JAA and later EASA (the Czech delegates in the EU practically kiss everybody's feet and then vote YES) but having preserved a reasonable freedom for light GA, so long as they don't want to go to Prague (LKPR)
