German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced hope earlier this month that the constitutional project would be put "back on track" during her country's turn at the helm of the EU, so that it could be finalised before the end of France's presidency of the Union on December 31st, 2008.
Nemački kancelar Angela Merkel izrazila je nadu ranije ovog meseca da će ustavni projekat biti "vraćen na pravi kolosek" tokom mandata njene zemlje na čelu EU, kako bi mogao da bude dovršen pre okončanja predsedavanja Francuske Unijom 31. decembra 2008. godine.
