After Serbian President Vucic claimed "Milosevic was a great leader who had the best intentions," the EC responded that "these policies caused decades of suffering; there must be no space, ambiguity or respect for those who have conducted those policies." https://t.co/gfymMmKZ3O

The US State Department barred Nikola Spiric, a Bosnian Serb lawmaker, from entering the US, alleging that he has been involved in “significant corruption or gross violations of human rights”.

This is a very important analysis. On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay please read @J_Watkins1 "The Story Behind Russia's Male Suicide Problem" & why men in several #CEE/#CIS states remain 6 times more likely to end their lives than women: https://t.co/AsEh0Oezyw #MentalHealthIsHealth

@tanyadomi #Bannon's @SputnikInt piece on #Trump/#AbrahamLincoln parallel is salad of pseudo-philosophical nonsense. In Dorian Gray Wilde notes that “Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming". A fine epitaph to GOP from an #LGBTQ legend.

@tanyadomi #Bannon’s murky stint as Trump Svengali was Wilde’s “Picture of Dorian Gray” meets “The West Wing” in many ways. Images in this @vanityfair piece lead us to wonder if Steve’s portrait hangs in a White House attic (as #Trump rues future & feels afraid): https://t.co/r0dS35sDRw

@tanyadomi let us know if #Bannon or #Docik's team firm up venue for European tête-à-tête. What's going to happen when the dark cardinal of alt-right pseudo-news meets the President of Republika Srpska? Steve needs a new project & last thing #Balkans needs is #Breitbart Bosnia...

The filing, h/t @WendySiegelman, has some interesting tidbits, including that Butina had FSB contact details in her phone and is ready to give information in the probe of U.S. Person 1, believed to be conservative political operative Paul Erickson

Let’s hope that people in Uzbekistan won’t be afraid to report abuse or face reprisal from their reporting.

🇸🇪 Ahead of Sweden's elections, @AtlanticCouncil has released a teaser of Kremlin Trojan Horses 3.0 report. @henriksundbom explores the Kremlin’s attempts to influence the media and polarize politics in Sweden ahead of tomorrow’s polls. @atlantkommitten https://t.co/WdPSHpdMv3

Thanks to @TransparencyUK for publishing my blog about what corruption means, and why we in the West (and the UK, above all) need to radically change our conception of it as something that happens elsewhere. https://t.co/0YTQM5H3Gq

@JasminMuj @JasminMuj while characteristic, #Dodik’s inability to swerve confrontation is especially offensive here. In day 2, #Dodik campaign is already a democratic atrocity. These are not actions of #politician. #Dodik reminds us of an aging boxer hustling for votes in a polyester suit.
