Today Albania opened negotiations for Cluster 1: Fundamentals with the EU, an important milestone for 🇦🇱’s European transformation as well as for the 🇪🇺enlargement policy in the Western Balkans. I spoke to @driniz about the process plus the steps ahead:

Shavarsh Karapetyan, a retired Armenian swimmer, had an incredible experience in 1976. After finishing a 26 km (16 mile) run, he heard a loud noise and found out that a trolleybus had crashed into a reservoir. The trolleybus had sunk 10 meters (33 ft) deep, about 25 meters (82 ft) from the shore.
Despite the difficult conditions of dirty water and poor visibility, Karapetyan bravely dived in and used his legs to break open the back window of the trolleybus. With great determination, he saved 46 out of the 92 passengers, rescuing 20 lives.
But the cold water and broken glass caused many cuts on Karapetyan's body, and he had to stay in the hospital for 45 days. He faced more problems like pneumonia and sepsis. Although he eventually recovered, the damage to his lungs meant he couldn't continue his successful swimming career.
"I knew I could only save a limited number of lives. I was scared of making mistakes. It was so dark down there that I could hardly see anything. Once, I accidentally grabbed a seat instead of a person during a dive. I could have saved a life instead. That memory still haunts me in my nightmares," he said.
In 1985, Karapetyan came across a burning building where several people were trapped. Without hesitation, he bravely entered the building and started rescuing the people inside.
Unfortunately, he suffered severe burns during the rescue and had to go to the hospital again. In his later years, Karapetyan moved to Moscow and started a shoe company called "Second Breath." Surprisingly, he is still alive today and actively manages his business.
Residents in the Turkish city of Bursa were stunned by this strange cloud formation in the sky Thursday morning.
The country's Meteorological Directorate said it was a lens cloud formed by strong wind fluctuations over hills and mountains ⤵️
Imagine an Albanian politician trying to get votes at 4am in a pub in Tirana by praising the great work being done to remove from the premises the “Brits”, who are “gaming the system” by insisting to be served a drink after the pub’s closing hours, SOME of whom may be criminals.
After over twenty years in captivity, Mark, the last of Albania’s “restaurant bears,” has safely arrived at his new home, an animal sanctuary in Austria

Today is the 31st anniversary of 🇦🇱 student protests that toppled communism & the 42nd anniversary of J Lennon’s murder.Not a coincidence:it started with a secret party in memory of JL (whose music was censored).Basically John Lennon gave his life so we could all drink Coca Cola.
