Both countries have democracies. Both have various ethnic groups living in their respective countries. 

Differences: 

(i) In Belgium, the leaders have realised that the unity of the country is possible only by respecting the feeling and interests of different communities and region. Such a realisation resulted in mutually acceptable arrangement for sharing the power. 

(ii) Sri Lanka shows us a contrasting example. It shows us that if a majority community wants to force its dominance over others and refuses to share power, it can undermine the unity of the country.
