Gravely concerned about last night’s attack on Kosovo’s critical infrastructure, damaging a water canal essential to 🇽🇰 water supply and operation of its power plants. Positive to see constructive coordination between government of 🇽🇰, @NATO_KFOR & @EULEXKosovo since the attack.

What we need in all - and in particular in post-conflict - societies is a permanent construction of peace-building narratives that would mark wars as tragedies, not as the best moments of our history. If one wants peace - one should prepare for peace, not for a new or old war(s)

U Čakovcu fali 60 medicinskih sestara. A mi gledamo hoćemo li američke, francuske ili švedske ratne zrakoplove.

@albrgr Yup, see work of @InfoCrcb (corruption research centre Budapest) on estimates of corruption risk in public tenders in select EU cities. Very useful for understanding how some politicians and parties use public tenders to develop clientelistic networks that keep them in power.

Podnijela sam kaznenu prijavu protiv ravnateljice CZSS koja je sebe i svoj svjetonazor stavila iznad pravomoćne sudske odluke, jer danas je to gay par a sutra možda vi. Kada izvršna vlast odbija postupiti po sudskoj odluci, to se zove smrt trodiobe vlasti i pravne države

The use of weapons must stop NOW to give space for dialogue. We are called upon to do everything possible to rekindle talks. There cannot be enough of that.
We have established and timetested relations with many actors in the region and beyond to de-escalate the situation.

$70,000 a minute.
$4 million per hour.
$100 million per day.

That's how much the Walton family, the richest family in the world, made last year.

I say to the Walton family: No more excuses. Pay your workers a living wage—at least $15 an hour. https://t.co/k7aGeQXxvq
