>Според Димитър Стоянов от "Бърд", който е участвал в обработката и потвърждаването на истинността на документите, архивът показвал, че действително Пепи Еврото е бил сив кардинал и сериозен лобист. За неговата роля той даде за пример документ от архива, от който ставало ясно кой чужденец кандидатства за българско гражданство чрез инвестиции, кой е взимал гражданство, на кого е отказвано и на кого е отнемано. Освен това имало и документ от финансовото разузнаване до прокуратурата за опит за изтегляне на 2,2 млн. евро от фирма, което обаче е било спряно. > >Пепи Еврото си е жив и здрав и играе още ключова роля в съдебната власт, каза Стоянов. > >По-късно от кибергрупата BG Elves съобщиха, че само по отворени данни са засекли активност на Петров в Гърция. "Предполагаемо загиналият и издирван обвиняем си е жив и здрав, ползва си китайския смартфон (днес включително), но ползва и Garmin часовник", съобщиха те във Фейсбук.

>During his address, Dodik spoke about the Serbian identity in Republika Srpska, emphasizing their desire to live in their own country without intending to harm others. He controversially stated that a war had been fought based on false claims that the Bosnian Serbs had killed 300,000 people, "a narrative perpetuated by U.S. President Joe Biden and his administration". Dodik further compared the war in Bosnia to the current situation in Ukraine, asserting that Russia, under Vladimir Putin, was justified in protecting the Russian minority in Ukraine to prevent NATO's encroachment near Moscow.

>The controversy has drawn reactions from various groups. The Bosnian Democratic Alliance criticized Stoilkovic for meeting Dodik in his official capacity, while the Albanian party DUI labeled Dodik as an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of working to divide Bosnia and Herzegovina. DUI also condemned the government's actions, calling it a blow to North Macedonia's international reputation and its commitment to European values. Former Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani expressed his disappointment, accusing the government of undermining the Ohrid Framework Agreement and questioning the message being sent to Albanian citizens and victims of genocide.

>The aim of the march is to reach the Novi Sad central square on February 1 to mark three months since a tragedy in the northern Serbian city where a concrete canopy of the local railway station collapsed and killed 15.

>Still, participation in a grassroots movement or volunteer campaign does provide civic experience, allows people to unite, teaches them to coordinate their actions, formulate their demands, and interact with the media and fellow citizens. It also leaves them space to speak and act critically at a time when doing so is becoming more and more difficult.

>The Georgian Government has announced they are freezing their participation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), after the body voted to accept the Georgian delegation’s credentials on the condition new parliamentary elections be announced.

>The vote on Wednesday passed by 114 votes to 13, with seven abstaining. The resolution came in response to widespread electoral violations documented during October’s parliamentary elections in Georgia as well as the violence and prosecutions against protesters, journalists, and civil society figures.

>The resolution demanded that by this time, the government must: > - Announce new ‘genuinely democratic’ parliamentary elections; > - Release all political prisoners; > - End police brutality and human rights abuses, and effectively investigate these practices; > - End the misuse of legal proceedings against protesters, journalists, and civil society leaders; > - Revoke the foreign agent law; > - Enable Georgia to resume the European integration process, ‘in line with the European aspirations of the people’.

>Viktor Danilov-Danilyan, scientific director of the Institute of Water Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said where the "tongues of fuel oil" in the Black Sea may reach, whether it will be possible to swim in the contamination zone, what will happen to the beaches and animals of the Black Sea

>- How much will the spill affect neighbouring countries? > >- It should not go to the neighbours en masse. But it can affect Abkhazia, Georgia, Turkey. It can reach Turkey from the east. On the western coast - Romania, Bulgaria. And of course, Odessa and its neighbourhood. > >- Have you had any discussions with them? > >- Not yet. I don't know, maybe the Foreign Ministry has, but it is unlikely that the Foreign Ministry will do anything without consulting us. But one consideration is that the further away you go, the lower the concentration. That's not much of a consolation.

> "This practice of 'creating' new languages - God forbid new nations, in the Balkans, of which w are all too familiar, starts exactly like this - when a nature is unclear, it is intermediate", Kocheva said. "However, such practice eventually finds another ethnonym, another linguistic labelling, which has nothing to do with its genetic derivation, i.e. with Bulgarian. In other words, I mean to say that it is no wonder that one day we will end up not only with a Shopi language and a Shopi nation, but that this language will be almost Serbian."

> "I feel sorry for the Bulgarian minority in Serbia because instead of becoming a bridge of good-neighbourliness between the two countries it is becoming a hostage of Serbian political interests in the region,"

>In an open letter to Serbian state officials, eight ethnic Bulgarian associations in Serbia recently condemned the newly resurged "Shopi ethnicity" narrative in that country. A key bone of contention is the support provided by the National Council of the Bulgarian National Minority, the Municipality of Bosilegrad, and the Hristo Botev National Library in Bosilegrad for A Book about Bosilegrad – Notes from the Past by Ivan Mitic, where the author claims that the local Bulgarian population is not Bulgarian but belongs to a separate Shopi nation. The letter accuses the National Council of funding a publication that undermines Bulgarian history and identity, violating its constitutional duty to protect minority rights.

The article gives the examples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Northern Macedonia.

It seems a stable trend that Black sea news keep getting more industrial and less environmental.

This old article explains the basics

>The harmful gas, the byproduct of decay, has been accumulated for centuries. Can we work to remove the hydrogen sulfide content of the Black Sea or at least reduce its concentrations? Scientists have been for quite some time mulling this question on the look out for solutions. All the more so that the otherwise harmful gas is rich in hydrogen that has been increasingly considered as an alternative fuel option with a future.

>“I had the idea of using hydrogen sulfide not for the direct extraction of hydrogen through electrolysis as anybody would expect, but rather the direct use of hydrogen sulfide for energy. At the next stage this energy could be used to carry out electrolysis from seawater for obtaining hydrogen.”

And here's a review of most recent research: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036031992305886X

>However, no national unions have officially endorsed a general strike. Legal experts in local media have debated whether such a large-scale work stoppage is feasible under Serbian law without risking government or employer retaliation.

If it is anything like Bulgaria, these union leaders are way too cosy with government support and can't risk their comfort for some general cause.

Жалко, че никой не е казал на министрите, че в затворен воден басейн, въпросът не е дали, и кога.

>Думите му се потвърждават от симулациите, направени чрез използване на данни за морските течения на Програма "Коперник" за периода от 19.12.2024 г. до 21.01.2025 г. включително, както и от незабавно изисканата експертна оценка, според която "дори хипотетично замърсяването да не е потънало, а напротив, да се е увеличило и да продължава да се развива, то неговото движение и разпространение ще бъде ориентирано на юг, в посока бреговете на Република Турция, а част от него ще се завихри в акваторията на град Новоросийск."

„гласът на българската морска индустрия“ отново мълчи, защото каквото и да каже, звучи като глас на Путин

It's not about reputation as the article emphasises. It's about environmental change (due to disaster) and a future change of the way anyone around lives. This holds both for people and wildlife. What is reported now in Asana, will arrive within a year along the whole coastline.

>Speaking to the Russian paper Parlamentskaya Gazeta, the head of Russia's State Duma Committee on Family Affairs, Nina Ostanina, said bookings at Anapa's children's recreation and health retreats had plummeted by more than 27% in January and 40% for the summer.

>More than a month later, fuel oil continues to leak into the sea from the sunken tanker. Russian authorities have reported that they haven't been able to weld the damaged part of the ship closed, because the hole was too close to the oil storage tankers.

>While Russia's Emergencies Ministry has claimed there is no effective method to clean up this type of oil, environmental experts have said appropriate methods have been available since 2002, when the Prestige tanker carrying similar heavy fuel oil sank off the Spanish coast, polluting some 2,000 kilometers of coastline.

>Russian officials are warning of further problems in the summer, when rising temperatures cause the oil to dissolve and wash ashore in larger amounts.

>But once authorities began pressuring the volunteer center, he starting doubting the official statistics and work practices. Instead, the helper suspects local authorities are trying to cover up numbers and activities.

> A woman rammed a car into a crowd of anti-government protesters in Serbia’s capital and injured one of them Friday, police said, as a student-led strike shut down businesses and drew tens of thousands of people to demonstrations around the country. > > The nationwide protests took place on the same day that President Aleksandar Vucic held a big afternoon rally with thousands of supporters in the central town of Jagodina, his coalition stronghold, to counter the persistent anti-government protests that have challenged his tight grip on power for nearly three months.

> Police in Belgrade said that they detained the 24-year-old driver who rammed into a crowd of protesters in a section of the city called New Belgrade. The injured victim, a 26-year-old woman was hospitalized; her condition was described as stable.

>The Croatian activists told media in their home country that police came to their hotel and detained them before sending them back home. They said police offered no reason except a document stating the activists represented a threat to Serbia’s security.

It is questionable whether they have the means to organise it.

Очевидно песента вдъхновила името на тази група. Никога не съм бил фен, но е приятна.
