🚨 𝐍𝐄𝐖: NK Osijek owner Lőrinc Mészáros is facing serious allegations in Hungary after opposition leader Péter Magyar claimed he and his family could be preparing to leave for Dubai. Mészáros, the richest man in Hungary and a close ally of Viktor Orbán, is accused of being part of a wider effort to move major assets abroad ahead of a potential political transition. Reports suggest any asset freeze could heavily impact Osijek, with the club potentially losing €7-8M per year.

BREAKING: Viktor Orbán quits Hungary's parliament after 36 years – confirming my earlier scoop that he's planning a longer US trip this summer, where heads of the Orbán business empire – his daughter and son-in-law – already live, and where he could seek refuge from prosecution.

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek)
Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek)@magyarpeterMP·
Orbán-linked oligarchs are transferring tens of billions of forints to the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Uruguay, and other distant countries. I am aware that Hungary’s National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV), based on reports from banks, has suspended several high-value transfers linked to Antal Rogán’s circle on suspicion of money laundering. I call on the leadership of NAV to immediately freeze these stolen funds. I once again call on the Prosecutor General, the National Police Chief, and the head of NAV to detain the criminals who have caused thousands of billions of forints in damage to the Hungarian people, and not to allow them to flee — before the formation of a TISZA government — to countries from which extradition is currently not possible. I am also aware that Orbán-linked oligarchs have begun selling TV2 and other media outlets at below-market prices, including the Rogán-linked propaganda flagship, Lounge Event Kft. I call on responsible domestic and international investors to refrain from acquiring assets linked to the mafia; otherwise, they may find themselves facing the National Office for Asset Recovery and Protection. I have also been informed that several oligarch families have already left the country, and that the Mészáros family is expected to travel to Dubai in the coming days. According to reports, several influential oligarch families have already withdrawn their children from school and are arranging trusted security personnel for their departure.

Kathryn Bolkovac was a police officer in Lincoln, Nebraska. Years on the force. Divorced. Three grown children. Looking for a change. 1998. She applied to join the UN's International Police Task Force in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The IPTF. Created after the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords. Mission was to monitor and train local law enforcement after the Bosnian War. 1999. Signed a contract with DynCorp Aerospace. US defense contractor. 15 million dollar UN-related contract to hire and train police officers for duty in Bosnia. Pay was 85,000 dollars. Better than Lincoln PD. After training in Fort Worth, Texas, she was sent to Sarajevo. Human rights investigator. Three months later deployed to Zenica. Put in charge of fighting violence against women. Head of the department of gender affairs. Shortly after arriving she encountered a battered young woman. Not from the Balkans. From Moldova. Spoke neither English nor Bosnian. Couldn't explain what happened. But she could point Kathryn to a local nightclub. The Florida. Kathryn investigated. Found seven girls locked in a room upstairs. Held captive. No passports. No way out. Room littered with used condoms. Her team walked the perimeter. Found an exterior staircase. Locked door on the second floor. Forced it open. Seven more girls. Also captive. Sex trafficking ring operated by the Serbian mafia. Girls trafficked from Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania. Some as young as 12 years old. Kathryn found a metal box at the Florida. Full of US dollars. The clientele were Americans working in Bosnia. Potentially her own fellow police officers. Brothels disguised as bars. Restaurants. Hotels. Clubs. Scattered throughout the hills of Bosnia. Victims told her directly. American contractors were buying underage girls. One American police officer working alongside her told her he had purchased a woman outright from a bar owner right outside Sarajevo. Took her home. To keep. To marry. To bring back to the United States. It got worse. International peacekeepers and UN bureaucrats were keeping the underground sex trade alive. Officers from multiple countries working under DynCorp. Some were customers. Some were facilitators. Local police confirmed it. The trafficking started with the arrival of the international peacekeepers. Kathryn pushed for formal investigations. She was reassigned. When she questioned her colleagues' diplomatic immunity she was demoted. Peacekeepers couldn't be prosecuted for crimes committed overseas. Fed up. She sent an email. Detailed everything. Coerced prostitution. Cross-border smuggling of women. Named specific personnel allegedly involved. Sent it to more than 50 people. UN officials. DynCorp officials. Up the entire chain of command. Less than two years on the job. Kathryn was fired. Gross misconduct. Falsifying timesheets they said. She was forced to flee the country. Carrying a bag packed with her investigative reports. A probable threat to her life had been determined. She took her story to BBC News. June 2001. Filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against DynCorp in a UK employment tribunal. August 2, 2002. The tribunal ruled unanimously in her favor. DynCorp ordered to pay approximately 153,000 dollars in damages. DynCorp appealed. Then dropped the appeal in April 2003. Days before announcing an enormously lucrative new contract with the US State Department. To police Iraq's civilian population during the War on Terror. DynCorp fired seven employees for solicitation. Not one faced criminal prosecution. No clear jurisdiction. US Army had no authority over civilian contractors. Case transferred to Bosnian police. Bosnian police unsure about diplomatic immunity under the Dayton Peace Accords. Zero prosecutions. Zero. The seven were simply repatriated. Sent home to their countries. DynCorp kept winning government contracts. Similar police training missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. US Government continued working with them throughout. At least two of the men involved in trafficking at DynCorp were later promoted to upper management. Kathryn was forced out of policing entirely. 2010. Hollywood made the movie. The Whistleblower. Rachel Weisz played Kathryn. Screened at the United Nations in New York. For legal reasons DynCorp was renamed Democra Security. 2011. Kathryn was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Same year she graduated with a degree in political science from University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She now lives in the Netherlands. Works a desk job as a project manager for an international auctioneering firm. Tried to obtain international contract work. Infamous in that community. Couldn't get back in. The men who bought children were promoted. The woman who reported it works a desk job. Think about what Kathryn found. Sent to Bosnia to help rebuild a war-torn country. Discovered the people sent to protect were the ones exploiting. UN peacekeepers buying girls. American contractors raping children. Organizations created to help enabling a sex trade. Girls as young as 12. Locked in rooms. No passports. No escape. She documented everything. Investigated for months. Reported to 50 officials. Every single one ignored her. Demoted. Fired. Threatened. Forced to flee the country carrying evidence in a bag. Won her lawsuit. Exposed the scandal to the world. Forced the UN to create oversight units. Became a Hollywood film. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Zero men prosecuted. Not one. Kathryn said it clearly. What happened in Bosnia is similar to later scandals. The abuse continues. The cover-ups continue. But because of her the world saw it. Girls were saved from slavery. UN complicity was proven. The cover-up was exposed. She paid for it with her career. With her ability to work in the field she loved. With years of her life fighting for justice that never fully came. Kathryn Bolkovac. Nebraska police officer. Went to Bosnia in 1999 to help. Found children locked in rooms instead. Reported it. Lost everything. Still speaking about it today. Zero men prosecuted. Not one.

Putin just lost his "Trojan Horse" inside the EU. Viktor Orban, one of Moscow’s most dependable EU allies, is out. This result carries massive implications for Russia’s ability to project power and disruption across Europe. Here is why Moscow is panicking. 🧵 [1/14]

Orban’s security have tried to stop people filming his massive country estate. The police showed up when I was reporting in his village. That’s because he lives like a corrupt oligarch whilst claiming to be a man of the people.

Serbia’s pro-government tabloids, including Informer, accuse us of spreading “fake news” on yesterday’s local elections. But attacking those who raise concerns won’t hide reality. Even if we accepted President Vučić’s version — no fraud, no organised violence — one fact remains: security failed. And that failure has a name. It is yet another failure of Vučić’s leadership. Because if a government cannot guarantee safe, free and orderly elections, it is not defending democracy — it is undermining it. Legitimacy is built on trust, and trust cannot survive intimidation, chaos or silence.

“I’m always at your service”: leaked calls between Lavrov and Hungary’s FM Recordings of conversations between Sergey Lavrov and Péter Szijjártó suggest the Hungarian minister was willing to advance Moscow’s interests within the EU. In one call, Lavrov asks for sanctions on oligarch Alisher Usmanov’s sister to be lifted — Szijjártó responds that Hungary, together with Slovakia, is already preparing a proposal. She was later removed from the EU sanctions list. Before ending the call, Szijjártó also mentioned visiting Gazprom’s new headquarters and added: “I’m always at your service.” According to European intelligence officials, the tone of the exchanges resembles that of a “handler and source” rather than two equal officials. There have also been previous reports that Hungary shared details of closed EU discussions with Moscow.

Kao što kameno doba nije prestalo zbog nedostatka kamena tako i Hrvatska nije ostala bez nafte zato što je “više nema”, nego zato što su MOL/INA godinama prestali istraživati nove resurse — a bez ulaganja nema novih otkrića. Postojeća naftna i plinska polja prirodno se troše, proizvodnja pada — to zna svaki student prve godine nafte i plina na RGN-u. Ako nema kontinuiranih istraživanja, nema ni novih rezervi. To je fizika i geologija. Danas Hrvatska živi na naslijeđu starih ulaganja, a nova su rijetka. I zato proizvodnja pada. INA-ina priča o “stabilnosti” je klasičan PR spin. Nakon godina linearnog pada proizvodnje nafte i plina zbog obustave istraživanja u INA_i , malo zaustavljanje pada i svaki mali pomak gore prodaje se kao “trend rasta”. Laž- to znači samo da si na dnu napravio mali pomak - to je statistički šum na silaznoj putanji. Proizvodnja INA-e pada već dva desetljeća. Da je Hrvatska makar zadržala upravljanje INA-om, a znamo da nije i iz kojih razloga, danas bismo imali veću sigurnost energetske opskrbe i društva u cjelini. Ali, možda i nije prekasno — potencijalne rezerve i prostor za promjenu i dalje postoje. Hrvatska mora nastaviti tražiti nove partnere za istraživanja nafte i plina, i u Hrvatskoj i u svijetu, te prestati biti pasivni promatrač, jer danas još uvijek , izravno ili neizravno, kontrolira i upravlja ključnim dijelovima svoga energetskog sustava, (osim Ina-e naravno) : - JANAF, LNG terminal, Plinacro, HEP, Agencija za ugljikovodike, Geoenergija i Institut Hrvoje Požar… U ovim turbulentnim vremenima možda je ipak trenutak za razmisliti o njihovu povezivanju — ne u formalnu strukturu, kako se sugerira u članku , nego u funkcionalno povezani sustav. - Svojevrsni hrvatski energetski holding. Na sličan način su svojedobno Norvežani postupili sa Statoil / Equinor — otvorili su prostor stranim kompanijama i kapitalu , ali zadržali kontrolu nad upravljanjem i nad resursima i energetskom sigurnosti - rezultat je danas globalna kompanija pod većinskom državnom kontrolom i snažan, stabilan energetski sustav. To bi omogućilo i čvršću podlogu za uticaj na poslovanje INA-e i ukupnom povećanju energetske i ekonomske sigurnosti države.

@EU_Commission Sure, sure. On paper maybe. 2 months ago I had problem from something I bought from Austria (I'm in Croatia). I complained to Austrian EU entity for protection of consumers and they replied that they can't do anything since I live in Croatia. Luckily my bank made a refund.

Zločinac je obišao čitav krug zla, i sada bi, po istoj matrici, ubijao po Srbiji one koji drugačije misle... "Moraću opet da formiram jedinicu za specijalne operacije", izgovara notorni Šešelj, čovjek koji je pravosnažno osuđen za najteže zločine protiv čovječnosti, neko čije su odluke i naredbe ostavile trag u stotinama hiljada uništenih života, raseljenih porodica i razorene budućnosti čitavih zajednica. Takva retorika nije samo uvredljiva za žrtve, ona je opasna za društvo. Ona testira granice, ispituje koliko je javnost otupjela, koliko je spremna da zaboravi, koliko je spremna da se navikne na prijetnju kao stil komunikacije. U Srbiji je zločin ponovo postao politika. Osuđeni počinioci postali su moralni autoriteti. A jezik prijetnje postao je normalan dio javnog prostora.

In Hungary, Viktor Orbán’s government has filled the streets with posters attacking Zelensky, von der Leyen, Brussels and the democratic opposition. Many citizens are answering with a message written over those billboards: “Ruszkik haza!” – “Russians go home!”. It is not just graffiti. It is the historic slogan of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, when Hungarians rose against Soviet domination. History has a long memory — and the demand for freedom still echoes today.

Anyone who lives in East-Central Europe know, that the region is full with hatred to each other, nations dislike nations. As a Hungarian I can tell, the couple exemption were Croatia, Slovenia Ukraine. We never really had any issue with each other. I'm very sad to see it's gone.
