When you look at the freedoms most Europeans enjoy as far as movement across international European borders, including he right to abode and labor, despite centuries of bloody history, it is really disappointing that two countries of a common background, which have enjoyed a long harmonious coexistence and couldn't have more in common (in the international realm), can't offer its citizens similar freedoms.
I have been watching for over 25 years, hoping that things would improve but, unfortunately, I think the trend points the other way.
