Serbia inks €2.7bln deal with France for 12 Rafale fighter jets in move away from Russia
Serbia is formally seeking European Union membership, but under President Alexander Vučić's increasingly autocratic rule it has made little progress in the fields of rule of law and democratic reforms, which are the main preconditions for membership in the 27-nation bloc.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, as European energy security faces new challenges. With the expiration of Russia-Ukraine gas transit agreements, Slovakia’s reliance on Russian gas is in jeopardy, prompting tensions and potential retaliatory actions. This meeting comes amid growing concerns about U.S. sanctions on Serbia’s energy sector and the broader geopolitical impact on Europe’s winter preparedness. Watch as this high-stakes meeting unfolds, potentially reshaping energy dynamics and international relations in Eastern Europe.

Ukrainian musician Kirill Bledny, frontman of the band Poshlaya Molly, has been banned from entering the European Union for ten years after making controversial remarks about the Polish language.
