That solution would please Slovenia and Croatia. There is little disagreement there that these two economically advanced republics could go it alone -- though at a cost. "In the open economy in Europe of the 1990s, the number of people is not important," says Ante Cicin-Sain of the Institute of Economics.

There is some notable talent in Mele's bullpen, too. "Last year we'd go into the late innings...
