"Labor für ganz Europa: Russische Propaganda auf dem Westbalkan" Dr Thomas Brey
An important topic will be discussed today at the "Westbalkan Salon" in Berlin.
An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.
🚨 Publication alert!
Our new paper, co-authored with @judith-moellers.bsky.social, is out in Comparative Migration Studies!
We introduce our concept of intangible remittances, providing clear definitions, a new typology & an integrated framework of remittances.

At a recent Oval Office event Trump invoked Serbia and Kosovo again, claiming he’d just defused an “imminent” war — a conflict so stealthy that literally no one in Kosovo, Serbia or the wider Balkans knew it was taking place.

Frage a Radio Eriwan: Wird Putin in Istanbul endlich über Frieden verhandeln? Im Prinzip ja. Nur nicht Putin sondern Medinski. Und nicht verhandeln sondern fordern. Und nicht Frieden sondern weiter Angriffskrieg.
The administration's prescription goes beyond the power of the federal government. It violates Harvard's First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the government's authority under Title VI. And it threatens our values as a private institution devoted to the pursuit, production, and dissemination of knowledge. No government-regardless of which party is in power-should dictate what private universities can each, whom they can admit and hire nire, ana which area. of study and inquiry they can pursue. Our motto-Veritas, or truth-guides us as we navigate the challenging path ahead. Seeking truth is a journey without end. It requires us to be open to new information and different perspectives, to subject our beliefs to ongoing scrutiny, and to be ready to change our minds. It compels us to take up the difficult work of acknowledging our flaws so that we might realize the full promise of the University, especially when that promise is threatened.

Großartig, bewegend, wunderbar, dabei gewesen zu sein.
Zehntausende bei historischer Großdemo in Belgrad gegen "System Vučić" erwartet.
Offizieller Demobeginn ist eigentlich 16.00 Uhr im Park vor dem Parlamentsgebäude. Doch schon seit Mittag versammeln sich dort Demonstrierende

Although the protest is scheduled for 16:00 today, Serbian citizens from across the country who have gathered in #Belgrade took to the streets earlier, marching toward the National Assembly. This is expected to be the largest demonstration not only in #Serbia but perhaps in the entire Balkans.
