🇷🇴 - Liberal and Romanian president's ally, Ciprian Ciucu, won Bucharest mayoral race, gathering 36% of the vote.

Far-right candidate finished second with 22%, while the race's social democratic frontrunner only placed third.

19 of you are low IQ.

You're not going to make it.

For Kosovo returning to Serbia?

Never say never.

Everyone’s screaming about past wounds, while ignoring the bleeding gash of real, immediate problems that threaten their future.

Let’s take Serbia as an example. Fine—Serbia won’t let go of Kosovo. But how exactly does it plan to reintegrate it? Politically? Militarily? Economically? Do they have a real plan, or are they just riding the same tired wave of nationalist nostalgia?

The truth is, Kosovo was shaped by history, and not just by Tito’s policies. Don’t forget, it was the Italians who flooded the region with tens of thousands of Albanians in the early 1900s. They were the ones who laid the groundwork for today’s demographics, yet the blame always lands on Tito. Convenient, isn’t it?

The memory remains—right there, fresh and potent. So the politicians yank on that hope, that sweet, deceptive copium, because it keeps the masses strung along. It makes them feel powerful, righteous—even when it’s all just smoke and mirrors.

Meanwhile, these same politicians, the ones who’ll chant about Kosovo, are the same ones cutting corners to line their pockets. They’ll mess up federal contracts just to save a few dinars for themselves. They’ll hand out lucrative deals to Chinese firms that can’t deliver—resulting in disaster, like the 16 people who died because of Chinese incompetence. Can't critique them tho! Right? Kosovo is Serbia - no?

And then, instead of facing any consequences, they turn around and award the next Chinese company the contract to build Belgrade’s subway.

It’s a cycle of failure and corruption.
But that’s the Balkans for you. You think your politicians care about your culture, your future? Think again.

So don’t stand there chanting slogans about the past, pretending your politicians are fighting for you, when they’ve already traded your future away. You’re being played, and it’s about time people wake up.

🇪🇺⚡️- The European Union approved "The Pact on Migration and Asylum", a strengthened reform through the creation of a new unified set of rules for EU members regarding the migratory policy.

Interior Ministers of the 27 countries agreed to validate three texts from the EU Commission. Arrivals of immigrants will be more strictly controlled and the first "return hubs" outside the EU's borders will be created in order to house asylum seekers who have been denied entry.

A new distribution of asylees within the EU was approved as well to ease the tension for Greece and Italy.

Guess where these "return hubs" for the unwanted pile of migrants are going to be located?

Take a long, hard, educated guess.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban vowed on Monday that Hungary will not implement the European Union's Migration Pact, declaring that "rebellion begins" against the bloc's immigration policies.

Responding to the European Council's decision earlier today to establish the so-called solidarity pool as "one of the main elements of the EU’s Pact on Migration and Asylum," Orban said that "Brussels is attempting to force Hungary to pay even more or take migrants in," calling it "unacceptable."

"We will not take a single migrant in, and we will not pay for other migrants," he concluded.

Orban also met with Turkish President Erdogan where they received confirmation that Turkey will guarantee transit of Russian gas to Hungary.

Macedonia entered formal discussions with the UK earlier in the Autumn, The Times reported.

It’s one of several nations sounding out the idea of hosting overseas hubs aimed at easing pressure on Britain’s borders.

Under the proposal, migrants removed from the UK would be allowed to claim asylum in Macedonia.

Whether it’s Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, or Moldova, it’s a piece of land. You physically cannot move it.

But you, dear reader, can be replaced in less than 20 years by waves of migrant Pajeets and Aladin's, for a few billion euros a year. Peacefully. No gunshots. No drone warfare. Betrayed by your own people.

I've been talking about this issue for well over a year because this is the key issue. That’s why I really don’t care about covering outdated / nostalgic issues like Kosovo or the pointless political maneuvering in the RS or pointless protests in Bulgaria. (Until something actually happens)

They want you focused on the past, so you won’t notice what’s happening in the now and the future.

—That was a really good take

—Congrats to @eurointelofficial on those well-deserved 4,000 subs!
