We believe in Montenegro ’28 by 28’.

And we will support you all the way.

The finish line is in sight.

And crossing it would send a powerful signal across the Western Balkans:

Reforms deliver. And EU membership is within reach.

As we mark World Press Freedom Day today, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting media freedom and pluralism in the EU and beyond.

We work closely with our partners to strengthen press freedom, a key pillar of the EU accession process.

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

She was 12 years old when she realized that people were dying because doctors couldn't check their DNA fast enough—so she wrote a computer program that could do it in seconds instead of hours.

Her name is Sofia Tomov. And at age 12, she decided that if the world's leading scientists couldn't solve a problem fast enough, she'd solve it herself.

The problem: doctors prescribe medication without knowing how a patient’s DNA will react. Hidden mutations can make the drugs dangerous—even deadly.

Adverse drug reactions kill over 100,000 Americans each year. Fourth leading cause of death. More than car accidents. More than diabetes.

Sequencing a patient’s genome seems like the solution. But the human genome has six billion base pairs. Analyzing it takes hours. Sometimes days.

For someone having a heart attack or seizure, that’s too long. People die waiting.

The smartest scientists had tried for years. They couldn’t solve it.

Sofia did.

She wrote an algorithm that could scan a genome for dangerous drug-reaction mutations in seconds instead of hours.

She wasn’t just interested in computers—she wanted to save lives. At eleven, she filed a patent for a device that safely disposes of medications to protect water supplies.

At twelve, she tackled a problem that had stumped the world. She studied genetics, learned which mutations affect drug metabolism, and coded a program that could identify risks fast enough for emergencies.

Her algorithm focused on the critical DNA regions, used machine learning, and optimized speed without losing accuracy.

In 2016, she entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. She competed against thousands, many older. She made the finals with her life-saving algorithm.

Sofia’s vision is global. Every patient’s genome could be sequenced. Doctors could know instantly which medications are safe. Lives saved.

She showed that age doesn’t determine impact. Credentials don’t determine value. You need research, understanding, and courage to act.

Sofia saw a problem killing thousands every year and thought: “I can fix that.”

And she did. At twelve.

Montenegro might become the next EU member state, as it has been decided to start drafting Montenegro’s EU Accession Treaty.

The EU is recognising the progress they have made, thus leading to this vital step towards joining the European family!

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Montenegro’s place inside the EU is now taking shape.

Today, Member States decided to start drafting Montenegro’s EU Accession Treaty.

This is a major step on the path to EU membership, a clear recognition of Montenegro’s progress, and an encouragement to accelerate reforms.

It also offers a chance to draw lessons from past enlargements and include new and stronger safeguards in future accession treaties to prevent backsliding on the rule of law and fundamental values.

Počinje izrada Ugovora o pristupanju Crne Gore Evropskoj uniji! 🇲🇪🇪🇺

Na današnjem #COREPER države članice odobrile su formiranje ad hoc radne grupe za pripremu Ugovora o pristupanju Crne Gore, što predstavlja istorijski trenutak i jasnu potvrdu snažne podrške Evropske unije našem putu. Ovakav razvoj događaja jasno ide u prilog planu zatvaranja poglavlja do kraja godine.

Last week, our Chargé Keays traveled to #Cetinje to strengthen U.S.-Montenegro cultural ties. The Chargé met with Minister of Culture and Media Tamara Vujović to reaffirm U.S. support for media freedom and cultural heritage protection. The visit included stops at the historic Royal Theatre #ZetskiDom to explore cultural exchange opportunities, American Corner Cetinje, and the Faculty of Montenegrin Language and Literature. #USPartnerMNE

[Everett Stern @EverettStern1]

My father handed me a framed poem the day I graduated college. No watch. No check. A poem.

I didn't understand it yet. But I hung it in my cubicle at @HSBC, my first job out of my MBA program.

It was called "Success"—attributed to Emerson—and it said nothing about corner offices, stock options, or your name on a building.

It talked about laughing often. Earning the respect of honest critics. Leaving the world slightly less broken than you found it.

I read it every morning at my desk. The same desk where I watched a global bank choose profit over national security and expected me to stay quiet about it.

That poem became the most dangerous thing in my cubicle.

Because when you internalize a definition of success that has nothing to do with money or titles, you become very hard to control. You can't threaten someone's career when they've already decided their career isn't the point.

After I blew the whistle, I lost my job. I lost relationships. The bank paid $1.9 billion in fines.

At the time, I thought I had lost everything.

I actually gained everything.

Resilience. Courage. Integrity that no one can take from me. It made me a stronger person. And every company I've built since—every decision I've made—is rooted in that poem my father gave me.

My message to anyone starting their career: the focus is not making money. Make a significant positive difference. Try to leave the world a bit better. The money will follow.

There is a lot of evil out there. But I choose to focus on the positive. I see so many people—CEOs, leaders, everyday professionals—trying to do the right thing. And it is encouraging.

The right thing doesn't mean you have to blow the whistle on an international bank and stand up to terrorists and drug cartels.

It's the little moments.

Just focus on doing the next right thing. Baby steps.

My father gave me the answer key before I even knew the test was coming. He showed me what success actually looks like—and I hope this reminds someone out there that the things worth building are always worth the cost.

Success is knowing that even one life has breathed easier because you refused to look away.

That poem still hangs on my wall. Different office now. Same standard.

[The Martian @SeeOutThere]

Sredinom 1990-tih Ruanda je bila potpuno razorena zemlja. Nakon genocida koji je odneo gotovo milion ljudi za nepunih 4 meseca, društvo je moralo da se izgradi gotovo od nule. Veliki broj muškaraca bio je ubijen, zatvoren ili raseljen, pa su žene u mnogim zajednicama preuzele odgovornost za porodice, poljoprivredu i lokalnu ekonomiju. Upravo iz te stvarnosti počeo je njihov ulazak u politiku.
Novi politički sistem podstakao je veće učešće žena u vlasti, ali ono što je usledilo prevazišlo je sva očekivanja. Ruanda je postala prva zemlja na svetu u kojoj žene čine većinu u parlamentu, i taj status zadržava već više od jedne decenije. Danas oko dve trećine poslaničkih mesta drže žene, što je najviši udeo na svetu.
Ovaj politički pomak poklopio se sa značajnim društvenim i ekonomskim napretkom. Stopa siromaštva pala je sa 40% 2017. godine na 27% 2024., što znači da je oko 1,5 miliona ljudi izašlo iz siromaštva. Zaposlenost je takođe rasla, pa je udeo odraslih sa poslom porastao sa 44% na oko 54% u istom periodu.
Velika ulaganja usmerena su u zdravstvo. Danas više od 85% stanovništva ima zdravstveno osiguranje, a mreža lokalnih klinika i zdravstvenih radnika značajno je proširena. Jedan od najupečatljivijih rezultata vidi se u zdravlju dece: početkom 2000-ih 196 od 1,000 dece umiralo je pre pete godine, dok je danas taj broj pao na oko 45 na svakih 1,000.
Napredak je vidljiv i u obrazovanju i infrastrukturi. Oko 92% stanovništva starijeg od šest godina pohađalo je školu, dok pristup električnoj energiji raste brzo, sa 34% domaćinstava 2017. na oko 72% 2024. godine. Pristup bezbednoj pijaćoj vodi sada ima oko 90% domaćinstava.
Ruanda je postala poznata i po izuzetnoj čistoći svojih gradova. Glavni grad Kigali često se navodi kao jedan od najčistijih u Africi, zahvaljujući strogim ekološkim zakonima i mesečnim akcijama zajedničkog čišćenja poznatim kao Umuganda.
Naravno, ovaj napredak nije rezultat samo jednog faktora. Oporavak Ruande zasniva se na ekonomskim reformama, dugoročnom planiranju i snažnoj društvenoj obnovi nakon tragedije. Ipak, izuzetno visoka zastupljenost žena u politici verovatno je uticala na to da država posebnu pažnju posveti zdravstvu, obrazovanju i socijalnoj zaštiti.
U samo jednoj generaciji Ruanda je prešla put od razaranja do stabilnog napretka. Priča o toj obnovi pokazuje kako društvo koje se ponovo gradi može promeniti i svoje institucije i ljude koji ih vode, a u slučaju Ruande, mnogi od tih glasova pripadaju upravo ženama. ✨🇷🇼
