[Hovenier: The need for de-escalation, mayors not to work from municipal buildings The U.S. Ambassador in Pristina, Jeffrey Hovenier, said today that the Quint countries agree that the situation needs to be de-escalated. He said this after the meeting of the ambassadors of the Quinte countries with the Prime Minister of Pristina's temporary institutions, Aljbin Kurti, and added that the US recommendation is that mayors do not work from municipal buildings, but from other buildings. Hovenier, however, did not say whether Kurti agreed with the recommendation, saying it was not his place to speak. "The US believes, and I am talking about my colleagues, that it is not necessary for elected presidents in the North to go to work every day. In fact, in the short term, we recommend that this not happen," said Hovenier, Reporters report. He said that there is agreement that the situation should be de-escalated, "but he does not know if he can say that there is agreement on how to achieve that de-escalation".]

BRUSSELS, May 29. /TASS/. NATO confirms that several KFOR servicemen were injured in Kosovo, claims that "unprovoked attacks" took place and demands that violence "stops immediately." "NATO strongly condemns the unprovoked attacks against KFOR troops in northern Kosovo, which have led to a number of them being injured. Such attacks are totally unacceptable. Violence must stop immediately," the alliance said in its statement published Monday evening. "We call on all sides to refrain from actions that further inflame tensions, and to engage in dialogue. KFOR will take all necessary actions to maintain a safe and secure environment, and continue to act impartially, in accordance with its mandate under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999," the alliance added. Earlier, Italian Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani announced that 11 Italian KFOR servicemen were injured during riots in Kosovo. According to KFOR, a total of 25 servicemen were injured. According the Vecernje Novosti newspaper, KFOR servicemen attacked the Serbs that were peacefully protecting near the Zvecan municipality administration building in the autonomous region of Kosovo and Metohija. The military cordoned off administration buildings in Zvecan, Leposavic, Zubin Potok and Kosovska Mitrovica. The situation in the four Serb municipalities escalated on May 26 due to Kosovan forces' attempts to capture city administration buildings despite the resistance from local residents. Cell phone service disruptions and police use of flashbangs and tear gas were reported. Pristina insists that the heads of four municipalities in northern Kosovo, elected during April 23 elections, must assume office. Representatives of the Serb List party boycotted the elections because of non-implementation of Pristina's obligations, resulting in voter turnout of 3.47%. A total of 1,566 Albanians and 13 Serbs out of 45,095 eligible voters cast their ballots.

Even today, the protests of the Serbs, who demand the removal of the Albanian mayors, continue. Yesterday, KFOR tried to disperse the protesters gathered in front of one of the municipalities with tear gas and stun grenades. In response, bottles with incendiary liquid and stones were thrown at them. Kosovo Serbs boycotted local elections in April. With a voter turnout of just over 3%, Albanians were elected mayors in predominantly Serb municipalities.]

[BELGRADE, May 28. /TASS/. The current escalation in Kosovo and Metohija may develop into a serious conflict, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic warned on Sunday. "I think that the most dramatic developments in Kosovo and Metohija are only ahead, something we have never seen so far, something we cannot even imagine. And this will happen because of the provocative actions and awfully irresponsible behavior by [Kosovo's Prime Minister] Albin Kurti. When I am saying this, I am afraid of general insecurity, instability. I am afraid of big conflicts, since I know that the Serbs cannot tolerate this and he who has started this [Kurti] will not step back. He is dreaming of being a kind of Zelensky," Vucic said in an interview with the Pink television channel. He said that he had recently spoken with the ambassadors of European countries and they had expressed concern over the escalation in Kosovo and Metohija. Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic said earlier that the prime minister of the unrecognized republic of Kosovo was indulging in terrorist activities in Serb municipalities and concurrently wanted to present himself as a victim labelling Belgrade as aggressor, following the example of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. The situation in four municipalities in northern Kosovo and Metohija escalated on Friday after Kosovo law enforcement officers tried to seize the buildings of local administrations, despite the resistance of local residents. The Kosovo police reportedly used tear gas and flash bang grenades. According to the local mass media, a police car was set on fire in the Zvecan municipality and armored vehicles were reportedly deployed to the site. In response to the actions of the Kosovo authorities, Belgrade put its army on high alert and deployed troops to the administrative border with Kosovo. Pristina insists that the new mayors of the four municipalities, who were elected amid the election boycotting by the Serb population, take their offices. Elections to local self-governments in four municipalities - Zvecan, Zubin Potok, Leposavic and North Mitrovica - in northern Kosovo and Metohija were held on April 23. The elections were boycotted by the Serb List party because of Pristina's non-fulfilment of its commitments. As a result, the voter turnout was a mere 3.47%, with 1,566 Albanians and only 13 out of 45,095 eligible Serbs taking part.]
I guess Kurti is insisting that the election results are upheld.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company and former Deputy Prime Minister of the country, Mohammad Thneibat, visited Bulgaria to study investment opportunities. At a meeting with the Bulgarian Minister of Economy, Nikola Stoyanov, specific opportunities for joint projects between the two countries were discussed, which would further contribute to deepening the commercial and economic relations between Europe and the Middle East. Bulgaria "has a very developed mining and processing industry, and I am confident that here you will find suitable partners, competitive at the world level", Minister Stoyanov pointed out. Mohammad Tneibad has invited a Bulgarian business delegation to visit Jordan, as well as to start work on the idea of a joint investment in fertilizer production facilities. The Jordanian company is the second largest exporter and the sixth largest producer of phosphate in the world, with a production capacity of over 7 million tonnes of phosphate per year. The Hashemite Kingdom has the fifth largest phosphate reserves in the world - 3.7 billion tonnes, of which 1.25 billion tonnes are the stocks available to the specific producer.]

"We find it unacceptable that German security forces arrested Turkish journalists with the words of a fugitive FETÖ (Gülenist Terror Group) member. "What was done in Germany is a violation of the freedom of the press," Erdogan said in an interview broadcast live on Turkish broadcaster aHaber. Following a complaint from FETO members Cevheri Güven and Ercan Karakoyun, German security forces raided the homes of Sabah’s German representative Ismail Erel and the European edition’s chief editor Cemil Albay early in the morning and detained the two without even issuing a notice, Sabah said. The two journalists were released hours later. Police also searched the Sabah offices in Frankfurt and seized Erel and Albay’s computers and mobile phones. German authorities did not disclose the raid’s purpose, Sabah said, adding that the Turkish Foreign Ministry and professional unions have officially stepped in for the release of the two journalists. Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun slammed the incident, saying, “The arrest of Turkish journalists over the stories they break against FETO in Germany and the confiscation of their equipment is a blatant violation of press freedom." Turkiye considers Germany’s attempt to muzzle journalists unacceptable and is concerned about this pressure on freedom of the press, Altun said via Twitter.]

China's new ambassador to Washington, Xie Feng, has arrived in the United States five months after his predecessor, Qin Gang, was appointed Chinese Foreign Minister. The release saying that the Chinese envoy has landed in New York City was posted on the Chinese embassy's website on Tuesday. According to Xie, the relationship between China and the United States was faced with serious difficulties and challenges. "I and my colleagues will carry out our responsibilities and live up to our mission with diligence and fortitude," the embassy quoted the diplomat as saying in a statement. His predecessor, Qin Gang, was China's ambassador to the US from July 2021 until he was appointed the country's new Foreign Minister in December 2022. Ever since, China has had no ambassador to the US.]

He added that he will fight for the return of the death penalty after the shootings in Belgrade and the municipality of Mladenovac, in which dozens of people were killed and injured, BGNES reported. "We currently have more than 37,200 weapons and explosive devices found," Aleksandar Vucic told Serbian news agency RTS. He reminded that those who do not hand over the illegal weapons by June 8 will be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. Vucic added that he will "fight politically in Europe and around the world" for the return of the death penalty, because "there is no other punishment for what happened in Belgrade, Malo Orase and Dubon /Mladenovac municipality". "As long as I am president, I will fight with all my authority and all my power to get the maximum punishment, and as a citizen I will speak about it everywhere," he said. On May 3, a 13-year-old boy opened fire at a school in the center of Belgrade. Ten people were killed, including eight children. Aleksandar Vucic stated that the shooter was placed in a psychiatric hospital because he could not bear criminal responsibility due to his age. On the night of May 5, a 21-year-old man opened fire with an assault rifle in the municipality of Mladenovac. Eight people were killed and another 14 were injured. The shooter was arrested on May 5.

Taiwan has reported the approach of an unmanned aerial vehicle and four Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships in the region adjacent to the island in the past 24 hours, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said in a statement on Thursday. According to the statement, "an unmanned aerial vehicle and four PLAN vessels around Taiwan were detected between 6 a.m. (1 a.m. Moscow time - TASS) on May 17 and 6 a.m. (1 a.m. Moscow time - TASS) on May 18." It specified that the UAV, a WZ-7 drone, entered the Taiwanese air defense identification zone in the island's southwest. Aircraft were scrambled to identify the air target, and warnings were issued by Taiwan. PLAN vessels and aircraft have been patrolling the waters and airspace near the island regularly amid tensions in the Taiwan Strait that escalated after former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi paid a visit to Taipei early last August. China criticized the high-level visit as a provocation, interpreting it as interference in its internal affairs and support for Taiwanese separatists. Taiwan, China's largest island, has been governed by its local administration since 1949. Official Beijing considers Taiwan a province of the People's Republic of China.

WASHINGTON, May 18. /TASS/. Statements by US authorities on the grain deal are blatant lies and Washington intentionally forgets about the "package" nature of these agreements, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said on Wednesday. "The statements of the representatives of the administration are outrageous. Instead of calmly and without politicizing fixing the successful completion of the consultations in Istanbul, local officials again rushed to criticize the Russian Federation in every possible way. Accuse us of allegedly creating artificial obstacles in the way of grain shipments to the poorest states. The notorious theses about the weaponization of hunger again went into play," the Russian Embassy's Telegram channel quoted him as commenting on the reaction by US authorities to the extension of the Black Sea initiative. "Such comments are not just a distortion of facts, but outright deception. Washington deliberately forgets about the 'package' nature of the 'Istanbul agreements.' About the specific requirements laid down in the Russia-UN memorandum that are not being met. We mean the restoration of the admission of Russian ships to foreign ports, the normalization of the situation with the insurance of dry cargo ships, the removal of barriers to the sale of agricultural equipment and technologies to our country, the reconnection of Rosselkhozbank to the SWIFT system, the launch of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline," the envoy explained. "Moreover, the Americans are again turning the data of deliveries geography upside down. To put it mildly, the statement that Ukrainian grain goes to needy states is not true. Only 2.5% of the 30 million tons of cargo went to indeed hungry. But domestic products are delayed for many months in western harbors, even if we are talking about gratuitous humanitarian flights," the diplomat asserted. "Instead of empty slogans that are clearly aimed at 'pricking' Russia, we would recommend that Washington work more actively to correct the imbalances in the global food market that have arisen due to their unilateral sanctions and political demands. Only in this way, with full consideration of Russian interests, will it be possible to talk about the prospects for transferring the 'Black Sea Initiative,' as the White House put it, onto a sustainable basis," Antonov added. Grain deal extended On Wednesday, Jake Sullivan, the White House's national security adviser said that Washington was satisfied with the extension of the grain deal but insisted to preserve it on a sustainable basis. He also claimed that "Russia continues even in a moment of extension to rhetorically hold it hostage in various ways, to suggest its days are numbered." On May 17, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the grain deal had been extended by 60 days. Later, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow confirmed the extension, explaining that this move will help ensure global food security. On July 22, 2022, a set of documents on supplies of food and fertilizers to the international market was signed in Istanbul. Initially, the agreements were concluded for 120 days and in November 2022, the deal was extended for the same number of days. On March 18, Russia announced the extension of the grain deal for 60 days, saying this would be enough time to assess the effectiveness of the memorandum signed with the UN. The delegations of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN held talks in Istanbul on May 10-11. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told reporters after the meeting that the Black Sea Grain Initiative would cease to exist unless Russia received guarantees by May 18 that its demands would be met. The demands particularly concern the export of agricultural goods and fertilizers and the reconnection of the Russian Agricultural bank to the SWIFT system.

[Permission granted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected North Korea's first military spy satellite. He gave green light for his "future action plan", state media in Pyongyang reported. During his visit to North Korea's aviation agency, he emphasized that reconnaissance from space is key to confronting the US and South Korea, reports AP. During the visit on Tuesday, Kim approved an unspecified "future action plan" in preparation for the satellite launch, North Korea's KCNA news agency said. Pyongyang has not announced a target date for the launch, which some analysts say could be in the next few weeks. Photos published by the Rodong Sinmun newspaper on Tuesday show Kim and his daughter, dressed in white lab coats, talking to scientists near what appears to be a major satellite component. The visit was Kim's first public appearance in a month, following a previous visit to the aerospace center on April 18, when state media announced the satellite had been built.]

"From what I hear, it is very unlikely this will pass," the newspaper quoted a diplomat from an EU country as saying. "There is too much resistance from the countries dependent on the remaining gas." He added that the 11th sanctions package "is almost done" and "inserting this huge measure at this moment is not going to work." The Financial Times reported on Sunday that Group of Seven (G7) members and the European Union are set to prohibit imports of Russian pipeline gas via routes where Moscow had earlier reduced its supplies. The paper said that the move was designed to prevent the resumption of Russian pipeline gas deliveries to countries such as Poland and Germany.

[Western Balkan Officials Warn of Disappointment, Fatigue after Long Wait for EU Accession North Macedonia's Ambassador to Bulgaria Agneza Rusi Popovska: Support for the European integration process in North Macedonia is waning. We were one of the most Euroenthusiastic countries in the Western Balkans, with 90%-plus support for EU membership. Now this support has declined by some 35 percentage points. The pro-European moods in the country were one of the most powerful weapons against the present-day malicious interventions. Public moods in both North Macedonia and the region, however, have shifted and support for EU integration is diminishing. The reason for this is that the promises made have not been kept. To be able to achieve a candidate country status we had to amend our country's Constitution in 2005. Now we are in a position to reopen the Constitution so as to close this initial phase of the negotiations. This conditionality that emerges midway through the process causes disappointment. The amendments in question envisage adding Bulgarians and other ethnic groups as constituent peoples in the basic law of North Macedonia. Turkiye's Deputy Foreign Minister Burak Akcapar: Turkiye's EU accession negotiations, which began in 2005, are practically put on hold. We have long been waiting on the way to the EU, we have come to a stalemate but we don't think we are the reason for this stalemate. Turkiye is part of Europe and one of the countries that contribute most to the continent's security and prosperity. People in my country want EU membership, but the prestige of the process is under a question mark.

There is a change in the approach to the cabinet being more expert than political. We have budget differences. We do not agree that the deficit should be below 3% in order to enter the Eurozone now and immediately. This means a sharp cut in spending in the social sphere.

[Jimmy Lai: Son of jailed Hong Kong tycoon condemns UK 'hypocrisy' The British son of a jailed Hong Kong media tycoon has denounced the "hypocrisy" of the UK government. Sebastien Lai said Britain had failed to sufficiently condemn the ongoing crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong. He pointed out that it had not called for the release of his father Jimmy - also a UK citizen - and continues to trade with China. Last year Jimmy Lai was jailed almost six years for fraud. He also faces national security charges. The 75-year old tycoon, who founded the pro-democracy Apple Daily paper, is among the most prominent of the so-called Hong Kong 47 pro-democracy activists currently on trial for subversion. He may spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted. On Wednesday, the Hong Kong government passed laws preventing foreign lawyers from defending clients in national security cases, after Jimmy Lai had hired prominent King's Counsel Tim Owen. Speaking on the same day at a Washington event about the human rights situation in Hong Kong, Sebastien Lai called the UK government "incredibly weak". He further slammed the Vatican for not standing up for his father, who is a Catholic, and claimed the United States has been "a lot stronger" on these issues. "It's very sad to see a democratic government being afraid - or asking permission even - to speak on behalf of one of its citizens that is in prison for freedom of speech," said Sebastien Lai. In 2020, then Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the charges against Jimmy Lai showed Hong Kong authorities' "continued attacks on the rights and freedoms of its people". His successors James Cleverly and Liz Truss have also said that freedoms in the territory have been "eroded" since Beijing enacted a controversial national security law , which criminalises subversion, among other offences. This week, Hong Kong saw the first visit by a a senior British official in five years, as Minister for Investment Dominic Johnson held meetings with government officials and executives. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesperson said in January that a junior foreign office minister met Jimmy Lai's legal team, which had requested a meeting with the PM.

Austria and Sweden have also sentenced Syrians for crimes during the civil war. Syria's conflict has killed close to half a million people since it erupted in 2011 with a brutal crackdown on anti-government protests. It has also forced around half of the nation's pre-war population from their homes, many of whom have sought asylum in Europe.]

["The red line has been crossed": the Russians will respond accordingly Russia has threatened Britain with a "military response" after it promised to send long-range missiles to Ukraine. The UK Defense Secretary has said that Storm Shadow missiles will be supplied to the Ukrainian military - and Sky News has learned that some of the missiles are already with Ukrainian troops. Responding to reports that such a deal had been reached, Moscow said the move would require an "adequate response from the Russian military." Ukraine has long sought long-range missiles, but the US and other countries have been reluctant to supply them in case attacks inside Russia escalate. The Storm Shadow is a long-range air-launched cruise missile developed by British Aerospace and a French company that carries a 450 kg conventional warhead with a range of up to 200 miles (300 km). Speaking in the British Parliament, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said: "The donation of these weapons systems gives Ukraine the best chance to defend itself against Russia's continued brutality, particularly the deliberate targeting of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, which is against international law. He added that the missiles will be used exclusively "within Ukrainian sovereign territory".]

[The CIA announced a large bribery scheme: Vuk Jeremic was involved PHOTO/VIDEO The CIA published a large-scale bribery scheme in which the leader of the People's Party, Vuk Jeremic, was involved. Earlier, U.S. media announced that the leader of the People's Party was involved in a major corruption scandal in the USA, in which the family of U.S. President Joe Biden was also involved. At a press conference, US officials announced that the entire scheme was complicated, and that it was designed to be complicated so that the money could not be traced. "They knew what they were doing and they knew how to do it, and they had done it many times all over the world," he told a news conference in the US. It was pointed out that the commission that investigated the affair discovered that the Serbian opposition politician Vuk Jeremic played a major role in it. Everything is connected to China, but also to the lucrative businesses of the Biden family, that is, Hunter Biden in Ukraine, and the fact that Chinese money "flowed" into Hunter Biden's accounts. CIA officials tried to explain all the details and money flows at the press conference, because it is an affair that has been shaking America for months. On the other hand, some media in Serbia note that "it is very interesting that the alleged 'protests against violence' organized in Serbia by the opposition, one of whose spokespersons is Vuk Jeremic, were launched at the very moment when the CIA presented key evidence about the affair and Jeremic's involvement". "Therefore, the only question that can be asked is whether the opposition in Serbia in the past few days advocates so much for the "fight against violence" just to cover up this big affair that is coming to the surface", Vecernje novosti asked.]

[Taiwan records approach of 12 Chinese aircraft, five ships According to the statement, three aircraft crossed the so-called midline of the Taiwan Strait and entered the island's air defense identification zone southwest of it HONG KONG /XIANGGANG/, May 11. /TASS/. Taiwan has reported the approach of 12 aircraft and five ships of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) in the region near the island over the past 24 hours, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said in a statement posted on Twitter on Thursday..
"12 PLA aircraft and 5 PLAN vessels around Taiwan were detected by 6 a.m.(UTC+8) today. R.O.C. Armed Forces have monitored the situation and tasked CAP aircraft, Navy vessels, and land-based missile systems to respond these activities," the statement said. According to the statement, three aircraft crossed the so-called midline of the Taiwan Strait and entered the island's air defense identification zone southwest of it. The vehicles were: a BZK-005 type reconnaissance drone, a Y-8 radar reconnaissance aircraft, and a WZ-7 helicopter. The PLA conducted drills on April 8-10 in the Taiwan Strait and waters north, south and east of the island. The exercise was dubbed 'Sharp Sword', and patrols around Taiwan were conducted in parallel. The exercise was a response to a trip by Taiwan's Chief of Staff Tsai Ing-wen, who "transited" through the United States and met with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on April 5. In response, the US side declared the need to continue arms sales to Taiwan. The Chinese Foreign Ministry protested the incident, saying that Beijing would take effective and resolute countermeasures.
Taiwan has been governed by its own administration since 1949, when the remnants of the Kuomintang forces led by Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) fled there after their defeat in the Chinese Civil War. Official Beijing considers Taiwan a province of the People's Republic of China and urges foreign countries to comply with the 'one-China' policy.]

Caretaker Minister of Economy and Industry Nikola Stoyanov said during a hearing in Parliament here on Thursday that according to available macro-data, the effect on the Bulgarian economy of the European sanctions on Russia is not significant. Bulgaria's exports to Russia in 2022 have seen a decline of less than two per-cent, the Minister said. He pointed out that even before the war in Ukraine began, over 60% of Bulgaria's trade was with the European Union, while that with Russia was only 5-6% percent over the past ten years. According to Stoyanov, it is too early to say what the effects of the sanctions will be across the different sectors. The sanctions have been in place since the end of February and the rule applies in all of them that the contracts concluded before their introduction continue to apply until implemented, Stoyanov said. He added that there are also suggestions of restocking some goods imported from Russia in anticipation of the introduction of sanctions on them. Much more time should pass before the real effect of these sanctions on the Bulgarian economy can be seen, the Minister said.]

I think because he has married this woman, and she wears these dresses, he isn't a good person. He is likeable, but he isn't like me. Maybe he is European because he like, isn't a complete person. Like, I don't show my titties when I wear my dresses.

[MOSCOW, May 9. /TASS/. Polish authorities have turned a blind eye to the provocation against Russian diplomats on May 9, so Moscow will make a firm protest to Warsaw over this situation, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. The Foreign Ministry said that the crowd had not let the Russian diplomats walk through to the Soviet Military Cemetery in Warsaw to lay flowers and "thus disrupted the commemoration." "The Polish Foreign Ministry was in advance notified of the ceremony planned by the embassy. The Polish authorities, however, did not prevent the provocative actions of the 'protesters.' The Polish side will be strongly protested," the ministry said. "We consider this to be another manifestation of unfriendly attitude from the Polish side, and above all, to be an affront to the memory of more than 600,000 Soviet soldiers, who fell liberating Poland from the German occupation, and a failure to comply with obligations to prevent such incidents," the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed. The Foreign Ministry added that this policy of the Polish authorities "will not remain without proper response" from Russia. "The incident has once again shown the duplicity of Warsaw's policy in evaluating the World War Two events and in attempting to drive into oblivion our nation's role in saving European countries enslaved by Nazi Germany," the statement states. On Tuesday, an aggressive crowd did not let Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreyev and other Russian diplomats walk through to the Soviet Military Cemetery in Warsaw to lay wreaths at the monument. Founded in 1950, the Soviet memorial cemetery, located on Zwirki i Wigury Street in the Polish capital, is the burial place of about 22,000 Soviet soldiers, who died liberating Poland from the Nazis. The memorial plaque says in two languages, 'Eternal glory to the Soviet soldiers who fell liberating Poland from Nazi invaders in 1944-1945.' In total, more than 600,000 Soviet soldiers were killed in the Polish territory during World War Two.]

["Foreign Minister Hayashi to join EU meeting on Indo-Pacific in Sweden" Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said Tuesday he will visit Sweden to attend this weekend's European Union ministerial meeting focused on the Indo-Pacific region. The EU's second Indo-Pacific Ministerial Forum, to be held in Stockholm on Saturday, is a vehicle to improve engagement with the fast-growing and economically-intertwined region. The 27-member European bloc is looking to have the Asia-Pacific play a role in upholding the rules-based international order amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and China's assertive behavior. Hayashi told a news conference that he hopes to highlight during the meeting that the "security of Europe and the Indo-Pacific is inseparable, therefore, cooperation among like-minded nations has become more important," apparently given the deepening military ties between Beijing and Moscow. During his four-day trip to the Scandinavian state from Friday, Hayashi also plans to hold bilateral meetings with Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom and other counterparts from participating nations. The forum will bring together around 60 foreign ministers from Europe and the Indo-Pacific, according to the EU. Sweden holds the rotating EU presidency. Discussions during the meeting will center on "common challenges with respect to security, trade, global value chains, digitalization, the green transition and energy security," the Swedish government said. The first Indo-Pacific forum took place in Paris in February last year, days before Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. Hayashi made a virtual appearance at the meeting which involved about 50 countries. China was not invited.] (May 9, 2023)
[The FBI warned Serbia: A minor considers making a bomb Juvenile D.U. from Subotica, a student of the "Svetozar Markovic" high school, was arrested in Subotica because he said that he was planning a massacre. Juvenile D.U. from Subotica, a student of the "Svetozar Markovic" high school, was arrested in Subotica because, in a conversation with the school psychologist, he said that he was planning a massacre. As Blic learns, D.U. said that he was not thinking of committing a massacre at the school, but that something like that occurred to him near the kindergarten. That newspaper also learned that proceedings against him are ongoing, after the American FBI discovered him and reported him to the competent authorities. The FBI located him because the minor was creating accounts on the Internet with the names of mass murderers, and he was also researching how to make a bomb. According to the order of the prosecution, the minor was taken into custody and brought to the High Court for minors and charged with committing a criminal offense - showing, obtaining and possessing child pornography and exploiting a minor for pornography, adds Blic. He was given the measure of banning him from leaving his place of residence, along with wearing ankle bracelet, an electronic monitoring device.]

[High-level meeting on grain deal set for May 10-11 in Istanbul - Russian Foreign Ministry The meeting will be held in quadripartite format, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin said MOSCOW, May 9. /TASS/. A high-level meeting on the grain deal is scheduled for Wednesday-Thursday in Istanbul, it will be held in a quadripartite format, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told reporters on Tuesday. "We have a high-level meeting in a four-party format in Istanbul tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," he said. On July 22, 2022, a set of documents on supplies of food and fertilizers to the international market was signed in Istanbul. One of them approved a mechanism for the export of grain from Ukrainian-controlled Black Sea ports. Another part of these agreements concerns access to world markets for Russian foodstuffs. The Russian authorities have repeatedly pointed out the fact that the second part of the deal has never actually been implemented. In November 2022, the deal was extended for 120 days. On March 18, Russia announced the extension of the grain deal for another 60 days, saying this would be enough time to assess the effectiveness of the memorandum signed with the UN.]

[West's representatives urging Serbia to sanction Russia - President Aleksandar Vucic noted that politicians immediately start a conversation on this topic when they meet BELGRADE, May 9. /TASS/. Western representatives visiting Serbia forget to pass the time of the day when meeting and start talking with the call to impose sanctions against Russia, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic said on the air with the Happy TV. "The first [their] obligation is to explain to me instead of saying 'Good day' or 'Good evening' what a fool I am that I did not introduce sanctions [against Russia]," Vucic said, commenting on talks with West's representatives. "Well, I heard you loud and clear, I understand your proposal, and I wish you all the best," he added. Vucic said earlier that the Belgrade's decision not to introduce sanctions against Russia had been proper and done in interests of Serbia. He also stressed Serbia would not join NATO and would remain neutral from the military point of view. Serbia suggests amendment to Council of Europe's resolution - President Aleksandar Vucic said that if they do not accept this amendment, he will not fly to Reykjavik for the Council of Europe summit BELGRADE, May 9. /TASS/. Serbia has suggested an amendment to the resolution of the Council of Europe (COE) on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic said on the air with the Happy TV. "We offered an amendment to the resolution where they lash out against Russia and where the protection of territorial integrity of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova is mentioned. We added the line of "and all other countries - members to the Council of Europe" to the amendment, nothing more.

"EC and EP condemn North Macedonia's refusal of entry to Bulgarian MEP" "European Commissioner for Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi wrote on Twitter that the European Commission condemns the denial of entry of MEP Andrey Kovatchev to North Macedonia on the 6th of May. We call on the government of North Macedonia to urgently clarify the situation, Várhelyi added. The European Parliament in Strasbourg has also been informed about the incident. MEP Michael Gahler told his colleagues that Kovatchev was not admitted, despite the fact he was traveling with a diplomatic passport, while Skopje specified that the refusal was related to an order not to allow people who could disturb public order in the country. I know Andrey Kovatchev as an honorable colleague who supports the admission of North Macedonia to the EU and the accession negotiations. He certainly does not pose a threat to this country, Gahler pointed out. The President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola said the case was alarming and the institution would protect the right of every MEP to be able to fulfill their duties. Metsola said she would contact the authorities in Skopje to make sure they understood this. North Macedonia refusing entry to an MEP is confrontation with European institutions"

["Parliament Chair: National Assembly Will Fulfill Its Commitments for Bulgaria's Entry in Eurozone" The National Assembly will fulfill its commitments and will pass the acts guaranteeing the legislative framework for the adoption of the euro in quick order, Parliament Chairman Rossen Zhelyazkov said here on Tuesday. He was speaking at the opening of a discussion on the role of organized civil society in the process of Bulgaria's accession to the euro area, held at the Council of Ministers and organized by the Economic and Social Council (ESC). Participating were government members, lecturers from Croatia and the Baltic States, and representatives of various institutions and organizations. Addressing the foreign lecturers, Zhelyazkov said that there is no better example than the one given by the neighbour. "We have walked together with Croatia on the thorny road to EU accession, and we will continue to walk together" he added. He also said that people expect to hear arguments for a well-informed decision. The ESC's role is for the discussion's messages and analyses to reach every citizen. "I believe that in Bulgaria, there are enough serious arguments and a significant majority in view of the political construct, which gives confidence that should we meet all criteria, we could boast about the completion of these important EU integration processes, of which the euro's adoption is an expression," Zhelyazkov noted.]
Here is another description of this path.
It seems like the EC wants countries to follow a specific economic path.

Ukraine's Ambassador to the EU: Bulgarians should think about whether they want Repression like in Russia Vsevolod Chentsov is Ukraine's ambassador to the EU since 2021. He was a special guest at the Open Day at the EU Council in Brussels, organized by the Swedish Presidency. Bulgarian media "Club Z" talked to the diplomat in Russian. Your Excellency, how do you see the events in the Council of the EU and the attitude towards the Ukrainians? "In general, it is very positive and always has been. But after Russia attacked our country, we undoubtedly feel spectacular support, mutual understanding, solidarity with Ukraine. The most important thing is that people understand very clearly who is the aggressor and who is the victim, what is the reason for this war. This is an imperialist war and the Kremlin is pursuing very clear interests. I think that with such support we have every chance to win, and to win in the broadest sense of the word. Because the question is not only about territorial integrity, our independence as a country, but simply about our existence as a nation, about our prospects to develop as a European country, to become a member of the EU. The Ukrainians, who are now under protection and found shelter with different families, behave like Europeans. And people understand that they have nothing to fear from Ukraine. For the EU, this is only a plus and will only strengthen it. I hope that when we win and the war is over, Ukraine will become the Mecca of tourism for Europeans. Because we have something to show and give to Europe - industry, agriculture, science. This war, as paradoxical as it sounds, revealed Ukraine to the Europeans. And vice versa - Ukrainians began to better understand where we are aiming and what the EU is." Bulgarians in general do not have such a strong pro-Ukrainian position as many other Europeans, for example the Baltic countries. There is even a parliamentary party that openly sides with Russia. What would you tell them? "I would like to tell the Bulgarians not to be afraid. First of all, not to be afraid of the truth, not to be afraid to open their eyes, not to be afraid to think, to understand what is really happening. And to think what would happen if the Kremlin wins this war. Do they want to live the way Russians live now, do they want to be subjected to arrests, repressions, do they want their standard of living to drop continuously, do they want their neighbors to fear them, do they want to bury their children and husbands? Let them ask themselves what values Russia carries today. 'Values' in quotation marks". As Ukraine's ambassador to the EU, how do you explain to Ukrainians what joining it means? "I explain that the EU today is the most successful integration project in history and currently it is the most powerful transforming force - such as social development, for strengthening institutions, creating a favorable business environment, reforming the judicial system. In my opinion, these things are also relevant today for Bulgaria and many countries, because the process of reforms is, in principle, continuous. A party should not stand still, it should move. EU member states come together and share their best inventions and experiences with each other. Because we are all different - someone can sing well, another can guard the streets well. And when people come together, they learn from each other and strive for the best, not the worst. It makes us stronger." You probably know that Bulgaria is among the countries that are not very inclined to arm Ukraine. Even President Radev said that the ammunition produced in our country will not be exported to Ukraine. What is your message to him and to those in power? "My message is very simple. I think it is in the interest of all EU member states, and not only now, to help Ukraine, our armed forces and our people to protect themselves and Europe. The choice is very simple - either help Ukraine and achieve victory together with it, or then send your soldiers to the front. Because this is not a joke, Russia is an aggressor and today no one can tell you where it is ready to stop."
This is a remarkable one.
I think this Ukrainian is being openly insulting of the people of Bulgaria.
The Bulgarians understand their own region and their own politics.
He seems to be still requesting more weapons.
I don't agree that the EU is a success generally.

FM Billstrom just tried to get Belgrade to begin financial surveillance operations. Now we know the SAPO tells the Turkish infantry to cross the border into the Caucasus region, I guess because financial surveillance gave them the intel. #DC pic.twitter.com/yIAKu9oFvT
— Donna Welles (@WellesDonna) May 7, 2023
Iranian authorities accused Chaab of receiving funding for the operations of the rebel group from Saudi Arabia and claimed that he was "protected" by Israel's Mossad and the Swedish intelligence (SAPO). The prosecution also claimed that other ASMLA leaders are based in other European countries, namely Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands. Ankara said in December 2020, when relations with Iran were tense just after the Nagorno-Karabakh war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, that it had arrested 13 people led by an Iranian for operations including assisting Iranian security forces in the abduction of Chaab in October of the same year on Turkish soil and delivering him to Tehran.
Notice the SAPO does so much financial surveillance.
This mention of the Caucasus region.
Maybe the SAPO tells the Turks to cross the border into neighboring countries.
(May 6, 2023)
[In a statement announcing the execution, the judiciary accused the security agencies of Sweden, Israel and regional countries of backing Chaab and his group, which it said had killed or injured 450 Iranians over several years. Iran said in 2020 that its security forces detained Chaab in neighbouring Turkey and took him to Tehran, without giving details of his capture. Iran has had tense relations with its ethnic minorities, which include Arabs, Kurds, Azeris and Baluch, and has accused them of aligning with neighbouring countries.]
Notice how much the SAPO works with the Israelis.
Maybe both are right wingers.
They might do lots of surveillance everything.
I guess the Turks coordinate a lot with the Iranians.
SAPO, Mossad, Iranians, Turks.
And now here is this other group.
I wonder if they are vindictive toward for example Azerbaijani people.
Maybe the Turks cross the border into the Caucasus region.
(May 6, 2023)
[Chaab had been held in Iran since October 2020 after he vanished during a visit to Turkey before going on trial in Tehran, which does not recognise dual nationality. In December 2020, the Turkish authorities announced the arrest of 11 people suspected of having kidnapped Chaab in Istanbul before taking him to Van, a city near Turkey's eastern border with Iran, and handing him over to the authorities in Tehran. Iranian prosecutors allege other leaders of Harakat al-Nidal are based in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden, with the group receiving financial and logistical support from Saudi Arabia. In the footage, Chaab admitted to working with Saudi intelligence services. "The death penalty is an inhuman and irreversible punishment and Sweden, together with the rest of the EU, condemns its application in all circumstances," Billstrom wrote on Twitter. Six other members of Harakat al-Nidal were sentenced to death in March over attacks carried out by "orders of their European leaders", Mizan Online has said.]

[China has accused Canada of "slander and defamation" after it said Beijing targeted a member of its parliament and his family. On Friday, China said the allegation that it attempted to intimidate Conservative MP Michael Chong over his anti-China stance was "nonsense". Mr Chong, 51, previously accused China of human rights abuses. Canada is considering expelling Chinese diplomats over the issue and summoned its ambassador on Thursday. It follows a Canadian intelligence report that first emerged in the Globe and Mail newspaper, which said Canada's spy agency believes China sought details about Mr Chong's relatives in Hong Kong in an effort to deter "anti-China positions". The politician put forward a motion in parliament in 2021 that declared China's treatment of its Uighur minority population a genocide. China has denied the accusations and sanctioned Mr Chong shortly after. Mr Chong said that he has been briefed by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and criticised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government on Thursday for not expelling a diplomat the spy agency suggested was involved. "Like many Canadians, I have family abroad," Mr Chong said in a statement. "(China's) targeting of families abroad to intimidate and coerce Canadians here at home is a serious, national threat." Canada's Trudeau launches China election meddling probes G20: Xi accuses Trudeau of leaks to media about China-Canada relations Mr Trudeau said he only learned about the issue after the Globe and Mail report. "CSIS made the determination that it wasn't something that needed to be raised to a higher level because it wasn't a significant enough concern," he said. On Thursday, Canada's foreign affairs minister Melanie Joly said that she asked her deputy minister to tell China's ambassador, Cong Peiwu, that Canada will not tolerate interference in its affairs. "What has happened is completely unacceptable," Ms Joly said. "All options including expulsion of diplomats remain on the table, as we consider the consequences for this behaviour," she said. Typically, summoning an ambassador is a diplomatic tool used by one country to publicly express anger or discontent against the other. On Friday, foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said China was "strongly dissatisfied with Canada's groundless slander and defamation of the normal performance of duties by the Chinese embassy and consulates in Canada". It has "lodged a strong protest" with Canada's ambassador to China, she added. The allegations come amid other intelligence reports that have accused China of attempting to interfere in Canadian elections.]

["Germany considers electricity price cap for industry" Germany's Economy Minister Robert Habeck on Friday presented plans to cap the price of electricity used by energy-intensive industries to insulate the sector against sharp cost increases, but the proposal immediately sparked criticism. The cap, which would be set at 0.06 euros ($0.07) per gigawatt hour (GWh), would apply until 2030 and cover at least 80 percent of companies' electricity usage. Energy costs rose sharply in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as Moscow dwindled critical gas supplies to Europe. The electricity price for non-residential customers averaged 18 cents without taxes in the second half of 2022, according to the German statistics agency Destatis. The leap in costs for heating and electricity have weighed on industry with Germany experiencing anaemic growth in the months since the outbreak of the conflict. Berlin announced a €200 billion package in November to protect consumers and businesses from sky-high energy costs through April 2024. The measures had "stabilised energy-intensive industry but we must not squander this achievement", Habeck said at a press conference. The new cap would ensure that "critical branches of industry" remained based in Germany and Europe, Habeck said. The Green party minister described the proposal as a longer-term "bridge" solution until renewables capacity has been increased and prices have come down. A "clearly defined" group of energy-intensive industries would have access to the low-cost electricity, according to the plan, including sectors such as chemicals, steel and glass manufacturing. Beneficiaries would see the difference between the market price for electricity and the cap reimbursed, with the total cost of the project running to between 25 and 30 billion euro, according to the economy ministry's estimates. The VCI chemicals lobby welcomed the price cap ion a statement as a "clear game-changer for our international competitiveness". The proposal however faces resistance from within the government coalition, a three-way alliance between the Social Democrats, Greens and the liberal FDP. "I take a very critical view of the industrial electricity price," Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) wrote in the Handelsblatt daily earlier this week. The idea was "economically unwise", said Lindner, whose party the FDP has championed Germany's balanced-budget orthodoxy.
Habeck's proposals could also raise concerns in Brussels that Germany is unfairly subsidising its industry.
The ministry said it would "enter into a constructive discussion with the European Commission on all competition-related issues", while calling for a broader "European strategy to strengthen energy intensive industries".]
This is from the German news.

It's a false sense that Russia has to export energy.

[Iran hangs Swedish-Iranian dual national for 'terrorism' Iran executed Swedish-Iranian dissident Habib Chaab for "terrorism" on Saturday, according to the judiciary. "The death sentence for Habib Chaab... nicknamed Habib Asyud, the head of Harakat al-Nidal terrorist group... was executed today, Saturday morning," the judiciary's Mizan Online website reported. Chaab had been held in Iran since October 2020 after he vanished during a visit to Turkey and was put on trial in Tehran. Convicted of "corruption on earth" for heading a rebel group, he was sentenced to death on December 6. Stockholm has denounced the decision as "inhumane". According to Mizan Online, Chaab led Harakat al-Nidal, or the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz, which Iran considers a "terrorist group" and blames for orchestrating attacks in southwestern Khuzestan. The oil-rich province is home to a large Arab minority, and its people have long complained of marginalisation. Iranian authorities accused Chaab of staging attacks since 2005 "under the protection of two spy services, including the Mossad and Sapo" - Israeli and Swedish agencies, respectively. According to the prosecution, other leaders of Harakat al-Nidal are based in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden, with the group receiving financial and logistical support from Saudi Arabia. Iran executes more people yearly than any other nation except China, according to rights groups including Amnesty International. Three dual nationals - including Chaab - have been sentenced to death or executed over security-related charges since the start of the year, according to the judiciary. In January, Alireza Akbari, a former Iranian official with British citizenship who had been convicted of espionage, was executed. In April, Iran's Supreme Court upheld the death sentence for German-Iranian Jamshid Sharmahd, 67, over his connection with a deadly mosque bombing in 2008. At least 16 Western passport holders, most of them dual nationals, are currently detained in Iran. Tehran insists all have gone through a proper judicial process.]

[For 1st time in its history, Sweden to try extortion suspect with PKK terror links Extortion used widely by PKK in Sweden, other countries to fund terror activities for long time, says prosecutor STOCKHOLM For the first time in its history, Sweden will try a suspect accused of extorting money for the PKK terror group, according to local media. Prosecutor Hans Ihrman said the male suspect's links with the terrorist organization have become more evident since he was detained in February, public broadcaster SVT reported Thursday. According to Ihrman, the PKK has been widely using extortion to fund its activities in Sweden and other countries for a long time. "Even though this is a single event, which is the basis of the investigation itself, most things point to the fact that this single event is part of a more extensive activity that has been carried out in organized forms for a long time," he said. The suspect is being charged with attempted aggravated extortion, aggravated weapons offense, and attempted terrorist financing, the broadcaster noted. Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom admitted last week that the PKK terrorist organization's extensive activities in his country were the reason why Turkiye has blocked Stockholm's accession to NATO. Sweden's bid to join NATO After the Russia-Ukraine war began in February last year, Sweden, together with Finland, decided to abandon its decades-long military non-alignment policy and apply for NATO membership. Ankara, a NATO member for over 70 years, asked the two Nordic countries to take concrete action against terror groups such as the PKK and the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), the group behind a 2016 defeated coup in Turkiye, in order for them to join the alliance. In June last year, Finland and Sweden signed a memorandum with Turkiye to address Ankara's security concerns, and senior diplomats and officials from the three countries held various meetings to discuss the implementation of a trilateral agreement. Showing Turkiye's support for NATO's open-door policy, the Turkish parliament approved Finland's bid to join NATO on March 31, having said earlier that Helsinki had done what was necessary for the membership, whereas Sweden still had work to do. In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkiye, the PKK - listed as a terrorist organization by Turkiye, the US, and EU - has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.]

There will be many penalties for illegal gun possession - up to 15 years in prison - and all firearms permits will be reviewed, Vucic said. "I know that no mother could sleep during these 48 hours, because no parent can survive the death of children, so there will be police officers in front of each of the schools and this is only the first of the security measures." Serbian police said the attacker who shot dead eight people in a school yard last night and wounded 13 others in an indiscriminate shooting spree in villages near Belgrade has been arrested. 21-year-old Uros was captured near Kragujevac, according to initial information, a large quantity of weapons was also found in the area. Tanjug Agency informs that the police operation continues and his accomplice is being sought. The media in the country also reported on other incidents with weapons in which there were injuries. A number of European leaders expressed sympathy for the Serbian people after the second mass shooting in the country, which is in three days of mourning in memory of those who died at the "Vladislav Ribnikar" school in Belgrade - where a 13-year-old student shot dead eight of his classmates and a security guard. The teenager is not criminally responsible, his parents are detained. So far it is known that the father will be tried because the boy fired his weapon.

According to Alaudinov, the Ukrainians have been pulling forces and vehicles toward a chalk factory in Belogorovka. "Nothing works out for them <...>, it is just that they were too quick to declare that they have surrounded someone over there," he added.]
[About 20 Ukrainian soldiers surrender in Donetsk area over past ten days, says DPR It is specified that the Ukrainian prisoners-of-war mostly include mobilized Ukrainian citizens sent to the frontline without proper military training DONETSK, May 4. /TASS/. Russian forces captured about 20 Ukrainian soldiers in the Donetsk area over the past ten days, a spokesman for the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) people's militia told TASS on Thursday. "Since April 23, about 20 Ukrainian personnel have surrendered," the spokesman said. The Ukrainian prisoners-of-war mostly include mobilized Ukrainian citizens sent to the frontline without proper military training, the spokesman specified.]
These are from the Russian news.
They are descriptions of the Ukrainian army.
In one, the officers supposedly said they had a victory but they didn't.
The other, Ukrainian infantrymen surrendered.
The whole time there have been questions about the Ukrainian officer corps, also women infantrymen.
It's an image that the men want like drone jobs, and the women are out carrying weapons and driving the trucks.
And so it's weird to send them more weapons.

The announcement of the prosecutor's office does not explicitly state the name of Georgievski, but specifies that it is a 45-year-old resident of Bitola who "committed the crimes in the period from April 16, 2022 to March 22, 2023, knowing that he instills hatred and intolerance, based on ethnicity, language, religion and social status, against the Macedonian people and the members of the Jewish community in the state". As a criminal act, the prosecutor's office also mentions the popularization of a quote by Ivan Mihailov, which denies the uniqueness of the Macedonian nation, language and the anti-fascist struggle of the Macedonian communists.]

Are Billstrom and Stenstrom making this stuff up about the PKK, like the bureau made up that stuff about the Black Panthers?
"The Black Panther Party was a Marxist-Leninist and black power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966 in Oakland, California." It's a police joke that the police would infiltrate this group and kind of they didn't do anything illegal. Liberals bring this up when they make fun of the police.
[Swedes tighten terror laws, likely to help NATO membership STOCKHOLM (AP) - Lawmakers in Sweden passed legislation Wednesday that tightens the country's anti-terrorism laws, a move expected to help persuade Turkey to approve the Nordic nation's request to join NATO. The revision includes a prison term of up to four years for individuals convicted of participating in an extremist organization in a way that is intended to promote, strengthen or support the group. The legislation allows for someone identified as a leader of a terror organization to receive a life sentence, which in Sweden generally means a minimum of 20-25 years. The bill, which passed on a 268-34 vote with 47 lawmakers absent, made it illegal to finance, recruit for or publicly encourage a terrorist organization, as well as traveling abroad with the intention of joining such a group. The revisions are set to take effect June 1. Turkey has accused Sweden of failing to take concrete steps to crack down on groups that Ankara lists as terror organizations or considers existential threats, including Kurdish groups. Sweden's center-right government has taken a harder line not just toward Turkey's outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, but also toward the Syrian Kurdish militia group YPG and its political branch, PYD. Turkey regards the YPG as the Syrian arm of the PKK, which for decades has waged an insurgency within Turkey. Referring to the terrorist organization PKK/YPG's activities in Sweden, Billstrom said, "The PKK's activities in our lands are very extensive. Comprehensive studies are being carried out to finance terrorist activities against Turkey. We also use our lands to raise money through drug dealing and various ways that harm Swedish society. "Using it as a base for terrorism in another country does not mean that we should take these activities any less seriously." had used the words.]
This is in the news about Stockholm.
Notice they are on paper center right politicians.
Maybe Billstrom is officially a center right politician.
That's amazing if it means they are fascists and want a large police budget.
In America, center right might not mean fascist and large police budget.
One example, in America you can be a conservative maybe because of banking laws or inheritance laws. The New Yorkers want to keep their money, etc.
Billstrom might be center right as in long prison terms, etc.
The terror law has a lot to do with prison sentences.
He has the stomach for long prison terms.
Like in California they'll send people to jail for a long time.
Also, some of this stuff not everyone would agree who is guilty. Like, participating in a group, etc.
This is a crazy quote from Billstrom about rackets and extensive networks of organized criminals.
The best example of that in America is the Black Panthers. Kind of they were just poor guys and they didn't do anything really. There are definitely examples of groups in America that aren't actually criminals, they just group based on interest or whatever.
Both Billstrom and Stenstrom have some crazy descriptions of rackets and white collar criminals, etc.

This is me talking about the meeting yesterday in Brussels about Kosovo. 5-3-23
The EC, EU, and Sweden.
There are reports about the Balkans, the Baltic Sea, and the Black Sea.
And, do the EC and the EU facilitate German navy stuff in this seas?
Because, for example FM Billstrom is having lunch with Estonians, that's probably about the Baltic Sea.
There are reports from Romania about the Black Sea.
There are reports from Russia about the Black Sea.
There are reports from Brussels about the Balkans.
From Berlin, do the EC and the EU.
Do they facilitate German expansionism?
This means the economy, the German army, and the German navy?
Do the Kosovars allow the Germans to.
Do the Ukrainians allow the Germans to.

["It's been released: This paper was rejected" The media published the complete text of the CSM statute, which Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti rejected last night during talks in Brussels. It is a document that directly derives from the First Agreement on Principles Governing the Normalization of Relations from 2013 and the General Principles from 2015, in accordance with the European Charter on Local Self-Government, which the delegations from Pristina accepted and ratified in their parliament. The draft of the CSM Management Team, which includes representatives of Serbian municipalities from Kosovo and Metohija, was drawn up in 2018, but until last night the Albanians refused to familiarize themselves with its contents, even though it was their obligation from the Brussels Agreement, Novosti writes. The mentioned text governs the position of the Community, its rights and duties, scope of work, competences, financing... But, already at the first reading in the building of the European Service for External Affairs, it was clear that Albin Kurti does not even think of accepting something that he is obliged to. As Novosti has learned, apart from him and Besnik Bislimi, in a down-to-earth manner, constantly throwing insults and mocking almost every word, they obstructed the presentation of the Coordinator of the Management Team, Danijela Vujicic (at one point, President Aleksandar Vucic also had to intervene in order to calm them down) clearly marked the parts of the Statute that are not to their liking. Under the mirage of the "new Republic of Srpska in Kosovo", which is abundantly being talked about by certain western circles, Kurti was most bothered by Article 2, which talks about the territory that would be covered by the CSM and its "symbols of statehood", as he interprets it, i.e. the right to a flag, the coat of arms and anthem and the administrative seat which would be in North Mitrovica. In addition, it is stated further in the text, Article 16, which implies that the Community manages public property and goods, infrastructure, and natural resources, "stings the eyes" of Kurti. "Also, he does not like the item under the Community Assets and Revenues provision, which specifies the right of the CSM to receive money from the Serbian budget. The Prishtina delegation also does not like Article 54, which states that goods in general use (roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, streets, parks...), which are located on the territory of CSM, are managed by the Community", the text emphasizes. See the full text of the Statute presented in Brussels below:] [Vucic after the meeting: ''Either it will be accepted or it's the end'' VIDEO A new round of dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, with the mediation of the EU, was completed in Brussels this evening at around 9 p.m. During the meeting, the Declaration on Missing Persons was adopted and the draft statute of the Community of Serbian Municipalities was presented. After the meeting, President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, addressed the media. "It is clear that Pristina does not want to fulfill its commitment from 10 years ago. It is clear to me and I knew that, but today we reached the wall for the first time. And it was clear from the moment when the draft was presented, their reaction after that was that it was unacceptable for them. Although in all the articles of the draft statute, there is a clear reference to previously agreed articles - said Vucic and added that there is not a single point in which something is mentioned that has not been signed yet," said President Vucic after the meeting. When it comes to the situation after, as he said, the shameful elections in the north of Kosovo, the EU came out with its proposal.]
The EU in Brussels has facilitated a meeting between Kosovo and Belgrade.
And, somehow there was throwing stuff and weird refusals at the meeting.
It pertains to a document from ten years ago.
There was discussion about the elections recently that had a low turnout.
Also, what about the budget?
Maybe Kosovo doesn't have an independent economy?
I always wonder if the Kosovars allow the Germans to use their airbases.
Do the Germans finance stuff in Kosovo and that's their budget?
They say that about Kiev.
Locally, the Germans and army stuff.
Are these legitimate independent economies?
The Ukrainian economy and the economy in Kosovo.
Does that look like the Royal Navy and free trade?

[Stockholm to host EU Indo-Pacific Ministerial Forum on May 13 To move things forward, the European Union and Sweden, currently holding the EU presidency, will host the second EU Indo-Pacific Ministerial Forum in Stockholm on May 13. The meeting, co-chaired by the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tobias Billstrom, and the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, takes place against the backdrop of turbulent international relations. "The text chimes well with the European Union's (EU) own 2021 Indo-Pacific Strategy, which aims to contribute to the stability, security, and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region," the article reads. Bangladesh and the EU attach importance to the same crucial principles: respect for international law and the UN Charter, freedom of navigation and overflight, maritime security and safety, it says. In addition, both approaches place great emphasis on connectivity in all its incarnations, including energy, trade and digital. In the security domain, the EU's CRIMARIO programme, securing critical maritime routes in the Indo-Pacific region, has strengthened cooperation in maritime surveillance by sharing information, building capacity and providing training for its members. "Bangladesh's Indo-Pacific Outlook delivers a welcome contribution to these joint efforts and is a very timely initiative indeed: in the current year, which celebrates 50 years of Bangladesh-EU relations, the need for closer relations between the EU and the Indo-Pacific region has never been greater," the envoys wrote. "Cooperation between the EU and the Indo-Pacific region is of great geopolitical and economic importance. Growing tensions are putting pressure on trade, technology and foreign and security policy, underscoring the need for Sweden and the EU to deepen partnerships and political dialogues with the Indo-Pacific. It is my hope and belief that this meeting will lead to even stronger cooperation," says Minister for Foreign Affairs Tobias Billstrom. Discussions during the meeting will centre on common challenges with respect to security, trade, global value chains, digitalisation, the green transition and energy security.]
This one is about Tobias Billstrom and the EU Indo-Pacific Ministerial Forum on May 13.
It's lots of discussions about maritime security.

Regeringen representeras av utrikesminister Tobias Billström, försvarsminister Pål Jonson och bistånds- och utrikeshandelsminister Johan Forssell. Drygt 25 svenska företag deltar också i programmet. Syftet med statsbesöket är att fördjupa den mycket goda relationen mellan Estland och Sverige, inklusive relationen i EU där Estland och Sverige är likasinnade i många frågor. Besöket ska vidare bidra till ett fördjupat samarbete inom säkerhet och försvar samt ett närmare samarbete mellan svenskt och estniskt näringsliv med fokus på digitalisering och grön omställning. Utbildning och forskning är andra huvudteman för besöket."

It has to do with Aleksandar and Danilo.
Unfortunately, the list of Swedish foreign policy concessions is getting longer and longer.
During the NATO summit in Madrid in June 2022, Sweden and Finland pledged in a memorandum to "combat disinformation and prevent the misuse of domestic legislation for the benefit or promotion of terrorist organisations".
At the end of September, the Swedish Inspectorate for Strategic Products (ISP) reauthorised the export of Swedish products as military equipment to Turkey, which has a history of warfare with its neighbours.
Days before the Prime Minister's visit, Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom had distanced himself from the Kurdish freedom organisations People's Defence Units (YPG) and the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syrian Kurdistan, which have successfully fought the world's most dangerous terrorist movement, Daesh/IS, on the ground.
This is from the Swedish news.
It's an opinion piece that opposes this new terror law in Stockholm.
- Notice, it's a lot of stuff they are agreeing about.
- Notice the disinformation stuff.
- That means, to me, like computer warfare capability.
- I wonder about fake news, etc. Maybe the German navy sends out fake news stories. This terror law might result in more fake news stories in London, even.
- They send weaponry to Ankara, I don't like that.

During the calls, Safadi briefed his European counterparts on the results of the Amman consultative meeting on Syria, which was attended by the ministers of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Iraqi, Egypt and Syria, and launched a new Arab path to progressively resolve the Syrian crisis in a step-by-step mechanism , in line with Security Council Resolution 2254, according to a Foreign Ministry statement. The minister explained to his counterparts the importance of the meeting, which was based on the Jordanian initiative, the Saudi initiative and other Arab efforts and contacts, in launching a direct dialogue with the Syrian government with the aim of ending the crisis and the suffering caused to the Syrian people and the negative repercussions on the region and the world. He also highlighted the importance of the agreements mentioned in the meeting's joint communique, which, once implemented, will contribute to efforts to resolve the crisis in Syria and address key issues, such as refugees, border security and the fight against terrorism and drug trafficking. The deputy prime minister also stressed that reaching a political solution to the crisis in Syria that preserves Syria's unity, cohesion and sovereignty, restore its security, stability and role meets the aspirations of its people and provides conditions for the voluntary return of refugees and it is a necessity for the security and stability of the region and a priority that joint efforts should realise.]

- Does Sweden want to govern Syria and Serbia?
- Also, this path stuff seems like right wingerism.

Even if Washington, DC is honestly trying.
Does it make sense that Turkey is a leader in these Ukrainian grain deal talks?
Washington, DC is far away from Ukraine.
Is this mismanagement about the grain deal and Ankara?
Conceptually, if an American in DC is trying, can we work out the whys and ins and outs of this grain deal?
