"U-S-A!" @USMNT | #FIFAWorldCup

WARNING: The following footage may be distressing for Australians ⚠️

The protesters range from liberal anti-corruption activists and environmentalists to nationalists. They have united against Albania’s political elite—what they will achieve is less clear economist.com/europe/2026/06…

Former 🇩🇪 Minister of State for Europe, Michael Roth: I was wrong to think that only progress in the dialogue with Serbia would bring Kosovo closer to the EU. The dialogue was never well-balanced. It was very simple for Vucic to use it to block Kosovo.

A bunch of Scots singing the US National Anthem out of respect for our country….WOW. They’re bigger patriots than any member of the Democrat Party. Can we make a switch?

The European Parliament adopts the resolution calling on Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain to recognize 🇽🇰 Kosovo’s independence without delay. 🟢 412 in favor 🔴 174 against 🟡 58 abstentions

Protesters marched through Albania's capital Tirana demanding reform and the resignation of the country's prime minister

Dmth: PDK + AAK - nuk kanë nënshkrime me e propozu Presidentin. LDK + AAK - nuk kanë nënshkrime me e propozu Presidentin. PDK + LDK - formalisht nuk bashkëpunojnë (krejt nën tavolinë i ndajnë sendet). Plus Gruda publikisht deklaroi që PDK nuk bëhet pjesë e procesit nëse ka bashkëpunim LVV + LDK. LVV + Pakicat i kanë numrat e mjaftueshëm për Kuvend dhe Qeveri. Qe pse, pasi nuk u dhezi kërcënimi me bo “qeveri të opozitës”, tash po insistojnë me u bo marrëveshje për Presidentin para se me u kriju institucionet (Kuvend e Qeveri). Ata po dojnë hise në Qeveri. Atë që nuk u jep qytetari (per të tretën herë rradhazi), po mundohen me e fitu me kërcënim të bllokadës së rradhës. Nuk e kanë hallin e Presidentit këta. Kurrë nuk e kanë pasë. Ajo që të gjithë e kanë ditë, por vetëm LVV e ka pohu, ishte që na kanë çu në zgjedhje të panevojshme.
