the ministers will take proposals from the european commission on what to do with energy prices.y want to put cap on gas prices but not all gas prices but for power generation. how it will be done and whether this is the tool european commission decides to put forward remains to be seen. we are waiting on a proposal from the european commission that may come out as soon as this week. kriti: we have heard about the challenges that come with price caps but what a lot of people don't know about the european energy, as gas prices stay high come sometimes it means bringing some prices higher, like spain and portugal and the decoupling of those two grids, is that a possibility? ewa: in decoupling there will have to be a new formula. they are saying that those two private things have to be decoupled and the link has to be broken whether this is feasible and how it can be done whether there will be cuts or other mechanisms remains to be seen. jon: a really hopeful breakdown. covering the story of what happens on the energy front in europe. let's turn to the bloomberg news chief correspon

monitoring of the european commission regarding the fulfillment of our obligations on the items themselvesa good text for the first reading and when we adopted it yesterday, we already have something to show clearly, at least in our segment colleagues from the europolice, you see, on september 5, we already accepted it in its first state, now we will finalize it among ourselves and, uh, taking into account the recommendations of your experts, and we will already have a bill for the second reading, which is completely uh, well, there will be euro holes to answer by the way, the compliance is still 100%. but still, it will take into account the interests of all, as they say in the system, that is, interested people, well, the main thing is that part of the law does not disappear on the route, because they are very essential. well , and taking into account the statement of 34 deputies, i think that it should take into account mr. honcharenko yes. as far as i understand , your faction also did not support the adoption of this draft law without introducing rules, we did not support it, and i, a

too, at one time was the prime minister of sim karlas, and then he was deputy chairman of the european commission and oversaw transport issues and i must say that we are very good with him, but we interacted and communicated in russian. so, uh, probably, uh, she hurried, and thus, thereby framed, in general, not only her own government, but the european union as a whole, because, uh, if you look, the fundamental documents of the same european union i already i'm not talking about our bilateral documents, then, of course, and such a piercing does not fit in, but also the last moment, which i consider necessary. ah, to which i propose to pay attention. this is potentially how those countries for which russian tourists should react. this is not small, but parts of their e national income. i mean such countries. and how is italy spain greece where and from the flow of precisely russians? the tourists were understood to be degree dependent. uh, welfare, and the tourism sector. here is vladimir alekseevich just from the point of view of the geography of countries, here. eh, a small selection. that is,

was the intrigue in june, before the summit in brussels, and here we have to give credit, the european commissionand it was written quite clearly in the conclusion, and when the european council actually received the leaders of the countries, they were already based on this legal conclusion on any issue, in any case, this is about years, but this does not mean that nothing will happen, and then after four or five years, someone will somehow turn on the switch and we will have a perspective in one case when we sit down at the table negotiations in order to start talking about full membership because we had a deadline until the new year, well, at least that's how the president of ukraine articulated it, he talked about the fact that ukraine wants to complete its homework by the end of this year, and from the end of this year we want to start political negotiations about actual membership, i.e. what else needs to be done for ukraine specifically for ukraine to join, we have a list of european integration laws. now there are about 50 laws already registered and in the verkhovna rada, there is such a

officials from the european commission will not eat locusts.steaks and wash them down with first-class french wine, like while the german brugger will offer, if mealworms, they just push it as part of the consumption for a person, well, imbeciles courage, insects in food - is it good or bad the topic is replicated in public, and whose authority is under big question and you will refrain from quoting them, but the relevant questions. what will happen if we switch from italian cuisine to locusts, we addressed a nutritionist to a doctor. no, because today there is no evidence base for studying the composition. yes, here is the deepest study of the composition of these insects of their genotype. we do not know, as a matter of fact, from what we can, how we can get sick. from what can we to die and how yes we don't know, because no one has studied it and i want to say that insects are caterpillars and so on all kinds of jellyfish. and of course, residents of large countries with a huge population use it. he really has nothing to eat, by the way, our

on my part, i wrote a letter to the european commission the next day, and after that i turned to minus vita to ask them to officially lobby for it in the interests of ukrainian universities and because there is no need to know whether you will receive any money from the ministry of finance or something else, you just need to adequately communicate with the european commission. i wrote letters to the government four times four times and in order to force them to write one letter to the european commission, this one letter was written in rather clumsy english, from which i can make very doubtful statements about the level of international integration of the current state, but in the end it came out 2.5 months after the first application and i cannot explain it, you understand, because i did not ask for something extraordinary here, and i understand when they fundamentally disagree with my position that a minimum passing score for medicine is needed this is the political will of this ruling team. i hope that ukrainians will remember this and know who allowed those who are unable to become

emissions saving water land resources, yes, and in general , waste reduction is exactly how the european commissiontises new products and insects are this alternative. the audience appreciated the new european menu. george podgorny got acquainted with it. protein vitamins in fiber, these are comments and a little a lot of the european commission about what is now recommended to be added to the inhabitants of the old world, in diet. whether it's an appetizer or a culinary ingredient, did you know that three insects are currently allowed in the eu as new food items, take a look at the menu, or rather the new ingredients. now cricket worms are in demand. locust incidentally also the european food safety authority. recently i added a list of moth larvae to the decree, so why are those who promote the eco agenda such frills. they say that insects are a completely, supposedly harmless to health, source of protein and a gradual transition from meat, just like that. it fits perfectly into the green trend. they say co2 emissions will be much less, well, there is another version. why they started talking abo

cuts its funding, and who heads the european commission rsolov underline, this is an insult for a german woman at the head of the european commission, and for germany as the main donor of the eu budget , things are not going well in poland right now and uh, the ruling party does not really want to talk about, uh, why inflation is rising in the country, so she saddled her favorite skate - this is historical speculation and attacks on the spectacular enemy in the person of donald. tusk, that is, in domestic political statements, surprised ambitions shine through, they say. look, the germans and the french rule their music and make everyone in the european union dance to it, they saw their own mazurka more and everyone should listen to it to stand on a par with germany and france, or at least stand on a level. there is such an albition, poland fancies itself great powers and in the east of europe where it could become, a decisive force in a large triangle, georgia estonia slovenia three seas, that is, georgia on the black sea estonia on the baltic e slovenia on the adriatic is another matte

cuts its funding, and who heads the european commission rsol underline, this resentment towards thethe head of the european commission, and towards germany as the main donor of the eu budget , things are not going well in poland now and uh, the ruling party does not really want to talk about, uh, why inflation is growing in the country, so she saddled her favorite horse - these are historical speculations and attacks on the worst enemy in the person of donald. tusk, that is, in domestic political statements, ambitions are revealed, they say. look at the germans with the french , they rule their music and make everyone in the european union dance to it, they saw their own more mazurka and everyone should listen to her has an ambition to stand on a par with germany and france, or at least stand at waist level. there is such an albition , poland is not itself a great power and in the east of europe uh, where is it? could become the decisive force in the big triangle, georgia estonia slovenia trisea, that is, georgia on the black sea estonia on the baltic and slovenia on the adriatic is

association agreement in terms of compliance with european standards and we will demand that the european commissionssess this progress and determine the time frame and roadmap for the start of negotiations on membership in the european union, the progress that we have ensured in previous years and especially now in the conditions of war the state when we have adopted enough laws by-laws gives us the opportunity to start functioning within the customs visa-free regime at the beginning of september and count on the fact that in 2023, after all, the agreement on industrial visa-free for our non- food products will be signed actually regarding membership, one of the recommendations of the european commission was regarding the adoption of the law on media. the copenhagen union's so-called criteria, along with other recommendations concerning the supremacy of the right of transparency of state institutions , include recommendations for the adoption of a law on media on luckily, we already have very good progress in this direction, there is a bill registered in the parliament and the texts of the bill ful

both sholtes and european commission chief ursula vander lion, are hoping the project can be resumed. now that the geopolitical landscape has shifted so drastically short stated at the press conference that the pipeline would massively relieve the situation now. but it may actually be years before oil flows through the pipeline. if the leaders agree to build it. tony is also hoping renewable energy will help ensure citizens have enough power. one of the big challenges to overcome how to store excess energy for days when the wind is blowing or the sun isn't shining. solutions are already in the works. there are 4 to 5 meters high energy storage facility is under construction. new berlin is the largest of its kind in germany, built by the major energy company, what temporary weekend store energy in the form of warm water will put it in the grid. and then the customers can have a hot shower or in the winter heat up their homes. it's very difficult to store the energy coming from renewables. often the potential of windmills and solar panels is wasted because their energy is not needed at

decide whether , let's say, our country should become a candidate for the offensive, then the european commission provided its conclusions and submitted the questionnaire to the european council in the end. in june, the country became a candidate. so what ukraine has achieved on the way to the eu we can see now on the screen. to the european market without customs, or joining the european energy network. well , just like that. we have a lot of other important movements ahead of us, now you can see them highlighted in yellow these positions myrnabardina, the people's deputy of ukraine joins our broadcast p. marino, i congratulate you good evening good evening we continue now, so we fondly remembered what preceded today's process of our movement to the european union, let's talk about the present, quoting your words from your interview in 21- of course, this all makes putin nervous, well, these achievements and the movement of ukraine to the european union and nato, this all makes putin nervous because he lost the country, that is, ukraine, which he was counting on, including us in imperial prefere

on the agenda, i would like to remind you that the european commission issued guidelines back in may member countries and their consulates understand how to apply a partial when visa agreements are stopped against visa restrictions for russians at the moment of great weights among which germany chancellor olafshol how many days ago announced visas already canceled for putin's entourage, we adopted very far-reaching sanctions that also apply to many specific individuals of the oligarchs

at the same time expressed hope for further receipt of the rest of the money promised by the european commission, the funds will be sent to finance priority budget needs - this is the first billion out of nine which the european union has promised to provide within the framework of the new macro-financial assistance program in our country. thank you for this support and we look forward to further urgent decisions regarding the allocation of living funds which we vitally need from the european commission. canada expanded sanctions against the russian federation for the war in ukraine. the country's government announced this. this time, 17 organizations and more than 40 military officials of the russian federation involved in war crimes in buch were subject to restrictions, and it promised to continue work in this direction . with other international partners in the country's government emphasized that they will not allow putin and his assistants to act with impunity and that all the flagrant actions of the russian military machine will not be forgotten i will remind you that last month canada int

interest in the media, remember what was the opposition to the law on oligarchs and when the european commission gave this point as mandatory for of european integration, it was indicated that this should be done so that there is no influence of private interest on the editorial policy on the information landscape eh and eh well, let's call things by their names eh, these are very interconnected things and e actually stands in us several tasks at the same time, this is a directive of the european union, that is, synchronization with their legislation, we will have the most up-to-date norms for protecting, for example, children from harmful content, this is all included in these conditions of the common space, in fact, to have the same rules for different countries we want it to be like in the european union, by the way, we have immediate access to certain funds for journalists and the media, this is a creative europe without this law, they simply will not exist to give these grants, and this is an opportunity for development, especially in such a difficult time when there is no advertising marke

cannot force us to do anything, without the european commission at all, it turns out very well the other day, hungary, the czech republic and slovakia, specifically ran into eu sanctions ukraine as usual without warning stopped the flow of russian oil through the druzhba pipeline because transneft could not pay for transit on its own i wonder how it instantly clears the brain because here it is connected with eu sanctions sanctions do not work the most they harm countries like slovakia reserve opponent, but only useful self-criticism was not enough , the victim and not consulting with brussels immediately chipped in and closed the debt of the russian supplier to the oil transit country. again. went the issue was resolved quickly and effectively against this background , the situation in which germany also found itself because of the sanctions looks like a completely dead end speech. again about the turbine from the northern stream one, which got stuck with the germans on the road from canada to russia last week, the chancellor went to see how they were rushing there, so that there were n

that is why the european commission submitted a fairly detailed plan.s is especially true given the current shortage of water in line for the existing economy of europe, which can be catastrophic, coupled with a crisis in energy supplies from russia. it has led to the fact that the likelihood of a recession in the eurozone expert. now rated as the highest since november 2020, according to bloomberg, the economic downturn in the next 12 months will come with a 60% probability. in july , experts estimated the risk at 45% in february 20, while in the largest economy of the european union , germany, stagnation may begin as early as this quarter drought will undoubtedly contribute to rising prices in europe, according to economists. at the end of the year, it will be about 8%. that's double the target of 4% the flame belongs to me woman soon.

look, i have never seen such a european commission. confusion reigns.prepare for the winter sanctions against russia to develop. and here the weather is creating, incomprehensible heat, as before, no one has canceled the showers, a temporary phenomenon, and, as it turns out, a useless problem with drought. they will not solve it, they will only add headaches to the rescuers. now it is difficult to draw conclusions, because the fight against drought is still ongoing. but it looks like already. you could say this year has gotten worse. 2018, and the drought in the eighteenth was the worst of 1540 , that is, the worst in 500 years in terms of the scale of damage from the drought of great britain is visible on satellite images in the country as if covered by a sandstorm while watering. one of the major water companies that serve 14 million people banned the use of hoses to irrigate water for everything after the driest july on record and insufficient rainfall for 10 of the last 12 months the water levels in our rivers and reservoirs are much lower than usua

the european commission has announced it will set out emergency measures to address the energy crisisweek. the exact makeup of that intervention is still to be decided. but a growing number of eu member states are calling for electricity prices to be decoupled from the price of gas, which has soared as a result of russia's war in ukraine. with me is our news reporter azadeh moshiri. we do not know exactly what the european commission is going to set out yet, but what you think is likely? set out yet, but what you think is likel ? ~ ., ., ., is likely? we do have a sense of it. is likely? we do have a sense of it- this _ is likely? we do have a sense of it. this is _ is likely? we do have a sense of it. this is one _ is likely? we do have a sense of it. this is one of _ is likely? we do have a sense of it. this is one of the - is likely? we do have a sense of it. this is one of the worst| of it. this is one of the worst energy emergencies that the region has faced in decades, and so naturally leaders are looking for really big solutions, and one of the areas they are looking at is the

storage facilities in the region, preparing for a difficult winter only in the stands of the european commission. well, locally, in countries with the possibility of regular shutdowns in the cold season, politicians in germany, france, great britain, politicians will gather on september 9 for a summit on september 9 to discuss the prospects for the coming winters, and most likely after the meeting, ordinary europeans will receive only new recommendations to save money. energy. in latvia, due to the sharp rise in the cost of electricity, the authorities are introducing the most radical saving measures to date at the cost of one megawatt-hour. here it exceeded 500 euros. this is certainly not the limit, since norwegian suppliers are constantly increasing selling prices, allegedly due to a shortage, as a result, riga is gradually plunging into impenetrable darkness. listen, it seems eleventh o'clock in the evening maksim's shopping center, not a single lantern, not a single one is on , faced a similar problem, lithuania is going to partially turn off the lighting here in the streets and underpasses

relatives were sent by the president of the united states of america and germany by the head of the european commission and the head of euro-diplomacy, even prime minister boris johnson expressed deep condolences in the kremlin, even though he sent a telegram to relatives. the spokesman just announced. peskov , this telegram appeared at our disposal, we read together with relatives and friends mikhail sergeyevich gorbachev was a politician and statesman who had a huge impact on world history. he led our country during difficult times. dramatic changes in large-scale external political economic social challenges. deeply understood what reform was needed sought to propose. once again, i ask you to accept sincere words for your solutions to urgent problems. sympathy of support in connection with saving you from the army vladimir putin will bury gorbachev at the novodevichy cemetery next to his wife raisa together at every meeting you repeat this mikhail gorbachev died the last leader of the soviet union who helped end the cold war and get rid of the threat nuclear war. he was sociable and charmed everyone

the reason for the emergence of such absurd prices should find out the european commission, lithuanians believe. however, for now meekly pay, minister. energy, lithuanian citizens did not say anything optimistic, on the contrary, he warned that high tariffs would last another 2 years and price records. like this, there will be frequent energy crises enveloping the neighboring area as well. i can’t say more about what will happen today in the electricity market. so today, august 17, the average price per kilowatt-hour. purely it will cost somewhere around 99 cents, and from the eighteenth to nineteenth almost 5 euros 4.84 will cost a kilowatt-hour of electricity. here you also simple arithmetic from another latvian he has an energy efficient house. that is, maybe not to heat, which did not prevent the government from multiplying the gas bill in 2 months. i have already paid an increased price for gas. 80 euros a month i say again, this is an energy efficient house, not a simple one, a house 80 euros a month. i'm just the one for the gas, i thought, well, okay, dick with him. i was double

the european commission, in fact, recognized that lithuania, the lithuanian financial sector, in thead region acted arbitrarily without coordination with brussels, such a conclusion can be drawn from the official statement of the speaker for economic issues of the european commission at a press conference in the belgian capital that lithuanian banks do not service certain payments, the lithuanian authorities are competent and must assure the banks that eu sanctions do not prohibit the maintenance of payments related to rail transport authorities. lithuanians can explore alternative ways payment for transit, the next problems on the border with lithuania have been outlined because of the local, Šiauliai. bank, he, referring to the station, refuses to accept payments for rail transit of russian goods from september 1, the authorities of the kaliningrad region considered that 22 courts would be needed to completely replace freight traffic through the territory of unfriendly states. the sea route is considered the most preferable lithuanian has not set its quotas for a number of transpor

cuts its funding, and who heads the european commission rsolov underline, is an insult to the germanthe head of the european commission, and to germany as the main donor of the eu budget, things are not going well in poland now and uh, the ruling party does not really want to talk about, uh, why inflation is growing in the country, so she saddled her favorite skate - these are historical speculations and attacks on the worst enemy in the face of donald. tuska, that is, in domestic political statements, wounded ambition, please. look, the germans and the french rule their music and make everyone in the european union dance to it, they saw their own mazurka more and everyone should listen to it to stand on a par with germany and france, or at least become on a level. there is such an albition, poland fancies itself a great power and in the east of europe uh, where is it? could become a decisive force in a large triangle, georgia estonia slovenia three seas, that is, georgia on the black sea estonia on the baltic and slovenia on the adriatic other the fact is that, in general, the gut i

with the european union not only at the institutional level, when there is a government, the european commissionrliaments, but also at the political level , firstly at the highest level, and secondly, secondly at the party level, because after all, political families in the european union directly influence the process decision-making, but here we need to work on something from time to time, that is, there are christian democrats, the largest faction and the largest number of politicians are the social democrats, who create the eyes of a coalition, on which a lot depends, precisely, and our prospect of membership by social democrats we need to work a little more because for now, well, not to the end, er, not to the end, we are finalizing this direction bohdan , stay in touch, we will add information after the victory, it is necessary to create a completely new security system in the world together with other states, so that similar the war did not repeat itself, the head of the office of the president of ukraine, andriy yarmak , said that it is very important for our country that at the second s

so, the explanation today from the european commission is that they want to decouple electricity and prices, which is a measure that have been called for by france, spain , portugal, for instance in october of last year, and was rejected by a number of countries. among which, austria and germany which today changed their minds, saying the influence of the renewable products could provide for a cheaper price for electricity if it were not coupled with gas. this is a brand-new from these countries whereas france, portugal and spain called for that measure because of the high part of nuclear energy in the energy mix. >> developments on the situation in ukraine and the effect it has on the millions of consumers across europe in terms of rising prices with the cost of energy. an engine cooling problem forced nasa to postpone for at least four days the debut test launch of the new rocketship they plan to use for future astronaut flights back to the moon. more than 50 years after apollo's last lunar mission. nasa says the problem emerged when fuel tanks of the rocket were being filled with

the european commission, in fact, recognized that lithuania, the lithuanian financial sector, in theing transit in the kaliningrad region, acted arbitrarily without coordination with brussels, such a conclusion can be inferred from the official statement by economic affairs speaker eva commission at a press conference in the belgian capital that lithuanian banks do not service certain payments, the lithuanian authorities are competent and should assure banks that eu sanctions do not prohibit the servicing of payments related to railway transport authorities. lithuanians can explore alternative ways to pay for transit, another problem on the border with lithuania has been outlined because of the local, Šiauliai. jar, he, referring to the stations, refuses to accept payments for railroads from september 1. the authorities of the kaliningrad region have calculated that in order to completely replace freight traffic through the territory of unfriendly states , 22 ships will be needed, the sea route is considered the most preferable there. the lithuanian customs has established its quotas

this issue has been raised for a long time . at the level of the european commission and at the levelf individual governments of european countries, this work has been going on for some time and its culmination took place last week when the energy ministers of the eu countries met and decided to reduce consumption now at 15%. in order to accumulate the necessary volumes for the land, because if there is an excess of consumption due to high consumption, then in the winter there will be a big problem for example germany even stopped heating the swimming pools so that many things are done, they really turn off the lights there, what is wrong there, what is the main problem in germany in recent years, they have become very obsessed with the russian gas needle, the course officially announced by mrs. merkel, which was called gas, is the best, so-called , they called it bricchu, bridge fuel to pass from dirty coal to clean renewable sources, let's do everything with gas, produce electricity, heat everything with gas, there will be a lot of russian gas and we will buy it as much as possible,

today, the european commission requires us adoption of this law and there are three things that are requirede first is the reduction of the influence of private interest in the media sphere. and this is what we are doing. the second is that our legislation should be harmonized with the audiovisual directive, that is, european legislation. since we will exist in the same space and the third is precisely the strengthening of the independence of the national council, the strengthening of its role, so the first thing is the disregard, more precisely, the reduction of the influence of private interest is that our viewer could receive information of high quality and independently of what is the opinion of the owner, but if i want to say for those who think that the national council has been given the right to block bloggers, as they say, interfere with our personal posts on social networks. to take into account most of the comments expressed by the expert environment, this bill can at least be amended a few more, for example, it was removed for some reason, we know that now the president must be n

of legal sciences of the yale law school, sara grantii, and she explained that neither the european commission the schengen agreements currently allow entry for citizens of a specific country, this would contradict the main principle of the schengen agreement that visas are issued on the basis of an individual assessment of each candidate, even if we imagine that such agreements will be introduced from them, there will always be exceptions for the relatives of human rights defenders, journalists, and so on. it is worth noting that these calls caused a negative reaction both from putin and the invasion of ukraine, and from opponents, for example, the representative of the ministry of foreign affairs, maria zakharova, called it nonsense bordering on nationalism, the telegram channels of the state media and the words nazism and russophobia are used indiscriminately on state television, and the opposition also opposes a blanket ban on the issuance of schengen visas, the press secretary of navalny kiir yarmash believe that this will only play into the hands of the russian leadership and russian pro

here, well, they are a little... these restrictions are very strong, and we can see that the european commissiontrictions will be, well, not so strong , and it is possible to find some exceptions in order to loosen them. it was a little easier, in particular, this applies to transit to the kaliningrad region that's why, well, here we get by with questions about kaliningrad. well, as we saw, there was still very aggressive rhetoric from the russian federation, after which germany, in particular, asked where to take some actions in order to mitigate this situation. thank you for all the answers. this was angela babulyak about visa restrictions for russia in lithuania meanwhile, entry signs with the name of the russian capital are being removed in dusseldorf until february, the cities were twin cities, stefan keller reported, and after the invasion of ukraine, they broke with moscow fraternal relations, moreover, in the spring, the signs were defaced with insults, so they decided to remove them, a new name will appear in their place, which will already have chernivtsi written on it. this ukrainian

domov, the european commission, have already announced.ros on the green transition. they want to permanently abandon fossil fuels from russia, although they understand that it will not be so easy to do this. according to eurostat data, last year the volume of supplies to the eu from our country exceeded 150 billion cubic meters of gas, the head of the european commission. ursula vonderlein believes that on the path of the green transition, the eu may also become heavily dependent on china. beijing controls the production of up to a third of all rare earth elements that necessary for the development of green energy. true, the energy companies themselves are not as optimistic in their forecasts as the european commission, the head of the alkali believes that a gas crisis in europe may occur in the next few winters, and the hungarian foreign minister said that budapest expects to reach an agreement with gazprom on increasing gas supplies. let me remind you that the nord stream will stop for 3 days from august 31 tomorrow to september 2 and it

is already working after the summer vacation the truth is smay approve the proposal of the european commissiono classify violations of sanctions as crimes the laws will be common to all eu countries and will require investigation, judicial investigation and punishment for violation and, accordingly, the confiscation of russian property from brussels olena voronovych vitaly kovalenko for the only news, details of the european tv channel inter, who do you own? it was enough to restore at least one city. yes , it is in the hero of our next article. he is not a dimon. they are talking about him behind the bars. dmitry medvedev, or putin's most unfaithful sycophant , says everything that the master of the kremlin wants to hear. and if necessary , he can also perform the function of president for several years so that the dictator is silenced. in the term today he is again after several years of silence on the front lines of russian politics, experts say that he is now claiming the role of zhirynovsky, this is about medvedev's scandalous statements about the russian federation's plans for ukraine an

to similar protests, i will remind you that the decision was already postponed in turkey the european commissionow welcomed this step, and in the kremlin, russia does not recognize the independence of kosovo, i remind you, it declared its support for serbia, the chances that the escalation of the conflict, which was prevented, is now possible in a month, are minimal, according to our colleagues from the balkan service of radio svoboda online, unlike ukraine, there are troops on the territory of kosovo nato since 1999, so any escalation can be manipulated only due to tension in the air or these blockades, this is the end of the story of an armed conflict will not happen again because in nato has a mandate to protect peace in the entire territory of kosovo, including its northern part. the nato international mission supporting peace in kosovo confirmed at night that it is ready to intervene if there are threats to stability and pristina, and tabelgrad called on them to continue negotiations for the normalization of relations, and the same side was called on by the european commission today in brus

be better for the eu as a whole bloc to take the appropriate step, the spokesperson of the european commission assured in response that a general ban on tourist visas is impossible because it contradicts according to the current eu legislation, each visa application should be considered individually for the likes of it. it is definitely on the agenda, and i would like to remind you that the european commission issued guidelines back in may to help member countries and their consulate to understand how to apply a partial suspension of visa agreements against visa restrictions for russians, currently the bigwigs, among whom german chancellor olafshol announced a few days ago that visas have already been canceled for putin's entourage, we adopted very far-reaching sanctions that also apply to many specific individuals of oligarchs and in the energy network in russia and we will definitely continue to do this it would weaken the effectiveness of these measures if they were directed against everyone including completely innocent people something has been highlighted by this war putin, not the russi
