No, my sources are just what i've been reading on this group, but i presume
an agreement to transfer the road, Vennbahn style, would have mentioned the
Vennbahn as the inspiration in the parliamentary debates in the article. I
am willing to be wrong, but I think the formation of a true enclave would
have had specific mention of that made. The opposition seem most likely to
be stirred up less by the road transfer than by pastures, 'soil of the
motherland' etc. Of course, as in the Cooch Behar case, journos and even MPs
frequently get their facts WAY wrong in such cases. An actual copy of the
agreement is what we need.
