Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:50:02 +0100 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych (C), EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy (L) and EU Commission Chairman Jose Manuel Barroso join hands during their meeting in Kiev December 19, 2011. A summit between the European Union and Ukraine seemed headed for failure on Monday over the Kiev leadership's treatment of jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko instead of showcasing - as once planned - the launch of a new strategic relationship.

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:30:02 +0100 (Reuters) - Bulgarian Muslim women apply make-up on Fatme Kichukova during her wedding ceremony in the village of Ribnovo, in the Rhodope Mountains, some 210 km (130 miles) south of Sofia December 11, 2011. The remote mountain village of Ribnovo in southwest Bulgaria has kept its traditional winter marriage ceremony alive despite decades of Communist persecution, followed by poverty that forced many men to seek work abroad. The wedding ritual was resurrected with vigour among the Pomaks -- Slavs who converted to Islam under Ottoman rule. The highlight of the ceremony is the painting of the bride's face, where in a private rite open only to female in-laws, her face is covered in thick, chalky white paint and decorated with colourful sequins. Muslims currently make up 10 percent of Bulgaria's 7.4 million population. Picture taken December 11, 2011. REUTERS/Stoyan Nenov (BULGARIA - Tags: SOCIETY RELIGION)
