This has aged remarkably well.

[Guy De Launey - @guydelauney.bsky.social @guydelauney]

I'm betting that today's much-trumpeted meeting between the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo won't result in a deal. EU envoy Lajčak seems optimistic, US envoy Escobar less so. What do you reckon?

[Monocle Radio @Monocle_Radio]

The offending plans, in full: https://t.co/VNHNsdAip0

Hey, @WeTransfer - we need to talk. Your new plans are a slap in the face to those of us who've been paying for the Pro plan for years. Double the charge to keep the same level of service - or 2/3 of current price for premium-mediocre? Not cool.

@JackieLeonard01 This isn't so much a burning platform as carbonised toast. And rapidly becoming as ethical as RT or CGTN. Glad you're on Bluesky, Jackie.

[Guy De Launey - @guydelauney.bsky.social @guydelauney]

Fed up of being here, curious about being there, but doubt you'll be able to find people to follow? Think again. Here's a list of BBC journalists for starters. Other starter packs are very much available, for a wide range of topics and interests. https://t.co/HjfXzf08rz

[Guy De Launey - @guydelauney.bsky.social @guydelauney]

Why are you still here? Head over this way. It's where the cool Balkans posters have gone already. Like these people: https://t.co/MqPrNoSvvJ

[Guy De Launey - @guydelauney.bsky.social @guydelauney]

@spignal Got to recoup that advance somehow. On another note - will you be heading back over to Bluesky? It's in danger of getting lively over there.

[Guy De Launey - @guydelauney.bsky.social @guydelauney]

If you're thinking: "I can't leave this place, because I won't have Balkans Twitter" - well, think again. There's a lovely list of people posting from and about the region right here: https://t.co/MqPrNoRXGb

[Guy De Launey - @guydelauney.bsky.social @guydelauney]

Hey, all of you over here. There are now at least a few dozen of the most interesting Balkans posters over this-a-way. Come and join us. https://t.co/MqPrNoSvvJ

@KateLaycock Most people just use that default option. You can also use your own domain name, if you have one. No questioning of inner self!

[Kate Laycock @KateLaycock]

Just listening back and remembering the exhaustion of that week, but also the joy and pride we felt in our 1st class community of correspondents. Massive cudos to @jackeparrock @terischultz @BBCRobC @BenjaminBathke @guydelauney Ashish Sharma and @MKWilliamsRome !
