The official added that Hungary would also diversify its energy purchases and had committed to buying U.S. liquefied natural gas with contracts valued at some $600 million.

One does not see the Emperor without bearing tribute.

Serbia's parliament has passed a law which paves the way for a controversial property development led by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner in the capital Belgrade.

His firm Affinity Partners has sought to build a luxury hotel and apartment complex on the site of the former Yugoslav Army headquarters.

The ruined building, which was bombed by Nato forces in 1999, has symbolic value to those who view it as a memorial and symbol of ongoing opposition to the United States.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic, who has pursued close ties with Trump, backed the plans despite popular protests and legal challenges.

Last year, the Serbian government stripped the building of its protected status and agreed a 99-year lease with Kushner's firm, which had set out plans for a $500m (£379.9m) development.

Admin note: During NATO's bombing campaign of Yugoslavia over 500 civilians died because of the United States.

🇬🇷🇦🇱 - Scientists discovered the world's biggest spider web in a cave at the border between Greece and Albania.

It is estimated that over 111 thousand spiders live in that.

13 people died in an elderly care facility in Tuzla last week due to hazardous conditions and neglect.

A councilor from Tuzla had already warned back in September about the catastrophic conditions in the local retirement home, but there was no reaction from the incompetent authorities.

The government's reaction today has been absent. Federal authorities are punting the responsibilities to the municipalities and cantons saying that they have no jurisdiction.

A population that is rapidly aging on one end and an inept state that cannot be trusted to care for elders on the other.

Quite the recipe for disaster.

🇬🇷 🇫🇷 Greece is considering purchasing additional “Rafales” in the F4 variant (Dassault) in light of the planned Turkish acquisition of the EF-2000 Typhoon.

Chinese fraudster Qian Zhemin who made her crypto fortune by using funds stolen from thousands of Chinese pensioners, is due to be sentenced this week for money laundering.

In her diary she stated her objective was to become queen of Liberland, an unrecognised microstate on the Croatian-Serbian border, by 2022.

I guess it didn't work out.

🇷🇺🇲🇩 - Lukoil to terminate its operations in Moldova starting with 21-Nov-2025 following the US sanctions against the oil company.

The only exception are companies facilities necessary for the main airport of Moldova - the nation's government expressed willingness to acquire these particular assets.

Serbian tributes to the Empire:

- Ammunition for European militaries
- A building which stood as a memorial of Empire aggression
- A venue for the Emperor's family to wash money

Dragi Bošnjanin,

Mi u Bosni bolje od većine znamo šta se događa kada narod zaboravi ko je.

Vidjeli smo carstva i države kako se uzdižu, raspadaju i ponovo rađaju iz pepela. Sahranili smo svoje mrtve, obnovili domove, borili se jedni protiv drugih, ali smo svoje vjere nosili rame uz rame kroz stoljeća iskušenja.

I kroz sve to — ostali smo.

Mi smo danas jedno od posljednjih i najhomogenijih društava u Evropi.

Ali danas stojim pred vama s upozorenjem:
Vodi se novi rat — tiši, bez metaka, vatrenih govora ili zastava — i on prijeti da nas izbriše, ne osvajanjem, već "upijanjem".

Širom svijeta, srednja klasa — ta krhka spona između siromašnih i moćnih, koju i sami pokušavamo obnoviti — nestaje.
U velikim ekonomijama ljudi rade duže za manje. Porodicama se govori da uzimaju stambene kredite na 50 godina za kuće koje nikada neće zaista posjedovati. Auto krediti na 15 godina predstavljaju se kao nova norma. Čak i u Americi, svjetioniku mogućnosti, pravila o kreditima se mijenjaju kako bi svako mogao da se zaduži — ne zato što je život postao lakši, već zato što je postao preskup.

Odgovor establišmenta je jasan: kada stvarni rast izostane, oni ga stvaraju kroz dug.

Produžavaju lance umjesto da oslobađaju zatočenike.

A u Evropi vidimo srodnu opasnost. "Evropska Unija", u svojoj potrazi za jedinstvom, počinje da miješa birokratiju sa bratstvom. Odluke koje bi trebale biti donesene u Sarajevu, Zagrebu, Beogradu, Budimpešti ili Atini donose se u Briselu — rukama koje ne poznaju naše zemlje, naše jezike, ni naše rane.

Ovo nije poziv protiv Evrope. Ovo je poziv za suverenitet — za pravo svake nacije da stoji, različita ali jednaka, u porodici čovječanstva. To je poziv na poštovanje neotuđivih prava onih koji su se ovdje rodili i koji će ovdje umrijeti.

Bosna danas stoji na raskršću jedinstvenom u historiji. Mala smo, da. Imamo podjele, da — ali smo stari, ponosni i očvrsnuli u borbi. Znamo cijenu podjela, ali i vrijednost istrajnosti. I sada, dok svijet postaje sve ujednačeniji, digitalniji, udaljeniji od zemlje — moramo izabrati.

Hoćemo li, u svojoj želji za udobnošću, predati svoju kulturu tržišnim algoritmima?

Hoćemo li mjeriti svoju vrijednost ne po vrlinama, već po kreditnim ocjenama?

Hoćemo li dopustiti da nova generacija odrasta govoreći jezik duga umjesto poezije svojih predaka?

Ili ćemo učiniti ono što su učinili naši preci — stati uspravno, čuvati svoje običaje i dokazati da narod, ma koliko mali bio, i dalje može birati svoju sudbinu?

Ovo nije nostalgija. Ovo je preživljavanje.

Narod koji zaboravi svoju pjesmu, svoj zanat, svoju hrabrost — uskoro će zaboraviti i sebe.

Srednja klasa Bosne — naši učitelji, ljekari, zanatlije, graditelji — ne smije nestati u sivoj magli globalne zavisnosti. Moramo graditi vlastitu budućnost: onu poštenog rada i zajedničkog blagostanja, a ne pozajmljenog vremena i uvezenih snova.

Jer ne zavaravajmo se — novo carstvo ne dolazi s vojskama. Dolazi sa ugovorima, dugovima i zavisnostima. Ne osvaja silom, već nudi privid slobode dok polako briše njenu suštinu.

Mi smo i ranije znali šta znači okupacija. Znamo šta znači izgubiti kontrolu nad vlastitom sudbinom. Čak ni danas nismo u potpunosti gospodari svoje politike, već smo dijelom pod tuđom konstrukcijom.

Zato mi, više nego iko drugi, ne smijemo dopustiti da se to ponovo dogodi — ne ovaj put, ne pod zastavom ekonomije i ne u ime "napretka“.

Bosanski izbor danas je svjetsko upozorenje sutra.

Možemo biti mjesto koje pamti šta znači pripadati — zemlji, porodici, istini — ili se možemo rastopiti u bezobličnom toku svijeta koji sve mjeri, a ništa ne cijeni.

Birajmo da pamtimo.
Birajmo da istrajemo.
Birajmo da budemo Bosanci — ne kao granicu, već kao svjetionik; kao podsjetnik da čak i u najmanjem kutku Evrope, srce ljudske suverenosti još uvijek može kucati svojim ritmom.

Jer svijet se možda mijenja, ali naša duša — ako je budemo čuvali — ne mora.

Ova prilika dolazi samo jednom u životu.

Bulgaria has one month of gasoline supplies left as it braces for the start of U.S. sanctions on Russia's Lukoil, which owns the country's largest oil refinery and most storage and pipeline infrastructure, the chairman of the state reserves agency said on Tuesday.

Thousands of protesters circled the former army headquarters in Serbia on Tuesday over a new law to speed its conversion into a luxury compound leased to an investment company founded by U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Ljubo Maćić, special advisor at Serbia’s Economics Institute, warned that exempting Serbia from the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for electricity would force an unfeasibly rapid decarbonization, threatening energy prices, security, and the economy. Serbia therefore did not seek the exemption.

CBAM (passed as a law 5 years ago) takes effect on January 1, 2026, and Serbia plans to introduce a carbon tax of €4 per ton of CO₂, mainly affecting Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS), which will contribute around €100 million annually. The tax allows a 20% renewable investment credit, and though lower than EU rates, it will rise over time.

Maćić cautioned that meeting EU ETS-level carbon prices (≈€80–150/ton by 2030) would impose €2.2–3.3 billion yearly costs on EPS—raising power prices by €75–110/MWh, far above current levels (~€105/MWh).

Such a shock would endanger Serbia’s power supply and make decarbonization impossible without massive external aid, which the EU has shown little willingness to provide beyond existing IPA and Growth Plan funds.

He identified three major CBAM problems:

It blocks electricity market coupling between Serbia, other Energy Community members, and the EU.

It uses fossil-based emission factors instead of national power mix averages, overstating costs.

Transit cost rules remain unclear, deterring regional trade and renewable investments.

Maćić argued that CBAM’s application to electricity brings minimal climate benefit but major integration and investment harm, as Energy Community electricity exports make up less than 1% of EU production.

He suggested either abolishing CBAM for electricity or postponing it by 10 years to give the region stability.
He urged the EU and the Energy Community Secretariat to show greater realism and solidarity, supporting a gradual, feasible energy transition in the Western Balkans.

Croatia will soon begin local production of CAR-T therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for leukemia and lymphoma, at KBC Sestre milosrdnice in Zagreb. The initiative, led by Zaklada Zora, marks a major step in Croatia’s cancer care.

CAR-T therapy uses a patient’s own modified immune cells to attack cancer. The Croatian version aims to reduce relapse rates and will initially treat B-cell leukemia and lymphoma, later expanding to multiple myeloma and severe autoimmune diseases.

Local production will cut waiting times by 7–10 days and lower costs, making advanced treatment available free of charge in Croatia.

If preparations go as planned, the first Croatian-produced CAR-T treatments will begin next autumn (2026).
