—NEW: New sections of the Via Carpatia corridor are entering service, strengthening an EU transport axis between the Baltic and southeastern Europe.

➡️ Claims that Serbia will immediately lose €1 billion in transit revenue are not supported by confirmed data, while major parts of the corridor remain under construction.

➡️ The development nevertheless increases pressure on Croatia, Montenegro and Albania to accelerate the Adriatic–Ionian motorway and improve north–south connectivity.

#BREAKING | 🇪🇸 🇪🇺 — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has formally written to EU institutions in Brussels, criticizing the response of some member states to the recent mass migrant influx into Ceuta and calling for an emergency meeting of the bloc’s interior ministers.

The move follows the entry of nearly 50,000 illegal migrants into the Spanish North African enclave over roughly 48 hours, most of whom have since returned to Morocco. Several EU countries had voiced sharp criticism of Spain’s border management and moved to tighten controls.

—🇲🇦/🇪🇸 Why Morocco claims Ceuta and Melilla — and why Spain rejects the claim

Morocco considers Ceuta and Melilla remnants of European colonial rule on African territory. Rabat argues that their geographical location on the Moroccan coast, their historical links to North Africa and the principle of territorial integrity support their eventual incorporation into Morocco. Since gaining independence in 1956, Morocco has periodically raised the issue internationally and in 1975 formally asked the UN decolonisation committee to classify the cities and other Spanish-held territories as non-self-governing territories.

Spain maintains that Ceuta and Melilla are not colonies but integral parts of the Spanish state, with the same constitutional status as its other autonomous territories. Madrid stresses that Spanish sovereignty predates the establishment of modern Morocco: Portugal captured Ceuta in 1415, with the city later becoming Spanish, while Melilla came under Spanish control in 1497. Spain also points to subsequent treaties, continuous administration and the political rights and Spanish citizenship of the cities’ inhabitants.

The United Nations does not currently include Ceuta or Melilla on its list of non-self-governing territories, meaning they are not formally treated by the UN as territories awaiting decolonisation. Morocco nevertheless continues to view the dispute through an anti-colonial and territorial-integrity framework, while Spain regards its sovereignty as legally established and non-negotiable.
