The puppet Georgian Dream PM has accused our excellent and honorable Secretary of State @SecRubio of lying. This is outrageous. Georgia is infiltrated by Iran, China & Russia – its behavior must change!
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has denied a statement made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggesting that Georgia had asked Washington what it would take to reset relations.

In Tivat for an important EU–Western Balkans summit.
My message to the Western Balkans is clear: the EU is committed to enlargement. Now is the time to seize the momentum and deliver on reforms. https://t.co/4xMSovm2Ax

EXCLUSIVE: António Costa tells #EuropeToday EU enlargement should be "accelerated" and its rules "streamlined".
The @eucopresident argued unanimity is not required for some stages of the process and said Montenegro is "doing very well" in its bid to join the EU by 2028.
Watch:
France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz will join a group of EU leaders at a summit today as capitals try to reach consensus on how far, and how fast, the bloc’s enlargement process should go.

🧐 Wat gisteren in Brussel gebeurde is een pure schande. Altijd dezelfde harde kern relschoppers en vandalen. Iedereen heeft er zijn buik van vol, maar er gebeurt precies niets. Er moeten bootcamps komen voor deze jonge delinquenten. Heropvoeding is dringend nodig. Defensie staat paraat om - indien gewenst - te helpen.
💙💛 Heb je de open brief van president Zelensky gelezen? Hij wil vrede. Dit is dringend nodig want de escalatie is totaal. Met het gebruik van de Russische Oresjnik en Zirkon missiles en de massale Oekraïense dronestrikes op Moskou en Sint-Petersburg zijn we in een andere oorlogsfase beland, een véél gevaarlijkere. Europa moet nu vol mee aan de vredeskar trekken.
✅ Vandaag keurt de Ministerraad drie belangrijke Defensiedossiers goed. Het belangrijkste betreft het eerste luik van onze logistieke ‘enablement’ hoofdopdracht binnen het NAVO bondgenootschap: het ontvangen van Canadese, Amerikaanse en Britse steuntroepen en materiaal. En alles zo snel mogelijk naar de Oostgrens krijgen (en terug). België is leading nation in dit verhaal en Antwerpen en Zeebrugge zijn cruciaal. De regering beslist vandaag om dit project officieel op te starten. Great job!
Dit en veel meer leg ik uit vanavond in De Afspraak op Vrijdag bij Ivan De Vadder. Tot dan.
EU leaders are meeting in Montenegro for what was supposed to be a friendly sit-down with Balkan leaders.
But today’s summit has already been marred by allegations of foreign interference.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
The US House of Representatives passed legislation to provide aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions on Russia, the latest sign that some Republicans are willing to defy party leaders and push back on President Trump https://t.co/7Xsg75wlir

The business case for Moldova is strong and investors are already counting on Moldova’s future inside the EU.
At today’s EU-Moldova investment conference we signed projects worth up to EUR 640m in planned investment.
This will drive economic growth and help create opportunities for young people to build a future at home.
⚡ Hungary has lifted its 17-month veto on Ukraine’s EU membership bid, the Financial Times reports.
The breakthrough paves the way for formal accession talks to begin for Ukraine and Moldova on June 15, allowing them to synchronize laws across six policy clusters.
I look forward to starting the work of the EU-Armenia Task Force as agreed between President von der Leyen and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today.
Europe stands in solidarity with Armenia in the face of the economic coercion by Russia.
The EU financial support, trade measures and solidarity will help to alleviate the pressure. I look forward to returning to Armenia very soon.
