Thanks to The Parliament Magazine for inviting me to comment on how Orbán has turned the EU’s unanimity rule into a tool of political leverage — and the impact this is having on Ukraine’s EU accession process and the EU’s credibility with candidate states www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

To counter Russia and other malign actors, we need genuine soft power — invest in education, culture, and dialogue to build trust across borders.

I was delighted to join the discussion at Chatham House on the Balkans, sharing thoughts on how we can counter Russia’s influence in the region. With the U.S. lifting sanctions on pro-Russian Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, it’s more important than ever for Europe to step up.

2/5. These events were designed to be as inclusive and open as possible, with invitations extended to all six leaders of the Western Balkans. Five Prime Ministers responded positively — some were unable to attend at the last minute.

Judge killed in courtroom shooting in Albania
Man opens fire in Tirana court, killing judge and injuring two other people, and is arrested after fleeing scene
Tragic that a judge was killed today in a courtroom in Albania. Heartfelt condolences to his family. For those of us following the state of the rule of law, this horrific act felt like it was only a matter of time — a stark reminder we must not look away.

World's first AI minister will eliminate corruption, says Albania's PM - BBC News
Named Diella, the new minister will help Albania "leapfrog" bigger, more advanced countries, says Edi Rama.
My take on Albania's "AI minister". That's a minister who's an AI, rather than a minister for AI. @andihoxhaj.bsky.social reckons there may be some substance behind the PR. Edi Rama also explains himself. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a well argued evidence based article on immigration by @samfr.bsky.social in @observeruk.bsky.social. There is a need for informed debate about immigration policy and its impact.

Thank you so much for sharing the article Laurent and am so appreciative. The example that you cite, is very much how the EU rewards MS. It’s also in similar line with your thesis on the rule of law; it simply doesn’t enforce the legal and political tools. Lots to unpack for an academic piece.
