Geneva Figured Out How to Sell Our Tram Tickets in Donbas
While in Liepāja we've known for years how free economic zones work — you simply don't pay extra for the tram.
World diplomats sat in Geneva thinking about how to create a free economic zone in Donbas. They've probably never been to Liepāja, because otherwise they'd know — a free economic zone is already operating! In our tram, free circulation of goods and services happens every day. And without military intervention.
Local trader Jānis comments: "My neighbor has been buying tram tickets with a five-year discount for years. If that's not a free economic zone, then what is?" Meanwhile in Riga, people pay for tickets like fools because they don't know how to properly negotiate with the conductor.
Trump with his Peace Council could learn from our experience. In Karosta, military-civilian cooperation has been working for years, where local residents peacefully stroll through the former military base and don't even destroy anything. That's a much better conflict resolution than any buffer zones.
The only problem — Geneva diplomats will have to learn how to win at things. Because without this skill, no free zone will work. We know this from our own experience.
