Archive for the month of June 2009

I wanted to display the taxonomy term description on taxonomy pages like site.com/taxonomy/term/n (where n is the term ID).

It actually took me quite a while but I figured it out. You can use the function taxonomy_get_term(n) where n represents the term ID.

In page.tpl.php I added the following code just before the print $content statement:

Dutch foreign minister Maxime Verhagen will visit Serbia July 21. "I am going to Belgrade to talk about further cooperation with Serbia in the economic and other areas," Verhagen said.

He will discuss Serbia's relationship with the Netherlands and the EU but already indicated: "As long as Serbia does not cooperate fully with the tribunal, the SAA cannot be ratified. The Netherlands stands by this." Verhagen said the most recent report of ICTY prosecutor Serge Brammertz to the UN Security Council made it clear that while the situation has improved, "there is no full cooperation yet".

Serb protesters in Leposavic and Zubin Potok in northern Kosovo are blocking roads protesting against the customs control by EULEX at administrative crossings. EULEX introduced the measures in an attempt to prevent smuggling by requesting photocopies of personal identification cards and driver’s licenses from truck drivers.

The Czech EU presidency canceled talks on Croatia's accession to the block following the collapse of border talks between Croatia and Slovenia. The meeting was scheduled for June 26.

Croatia and Slovenia were supposed to have reached an agreement by last week.

Sweden, which will take over the EU presidency July 1, indicated this week it plans no fresh attempt to help settle the dispute.

Serbia's war crimes court sentenced Damir Sireta to 20 years for his role in the 1991 torture and killing of 200 Croatian prisoners at a pig farm near Vukovar during the 91-95 Balkan war.

Sireta was tried separately after being extradited from Norway, where he had been living since 1998 after his indictment. Others were cnvicted earlier this year.
