Irene,
In Stata, -gllamm- is your only choice right now. Stata's -xt-
commands do not accept the -svy- prefix or probability weights.
-gllamm- accepts probability weights and a cluster variable, but not
strata.  If you use -gllamm- you will have standard errors that are
too large, but this can be mitigated,  if you have few countries, by
including country  as a fixed-effect predictor rather than as the
highest-level random effect,

Steve
