Criticized for its illegal refoulements by a resounding report from the European Parliament, the Greek conservative government wants to create a diversion by accusing NGOs of collusion with smuggling networks.
A worrying attempt to
criminalize aid to refugees.
A few days before leaving his post, the High International Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Valentin Inzko finally imposed a
law which prohibits the denial and the apology of war crimes and genocide.
Many political personalities welcome this law, but the strong man of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik chokes with rage, while in the Federation, many doubt the possibility of applying the law.
Mafia and politics in Serbia: little favors with friends
A gang leader accused of murder and drug trafficking and the President of the Republic who meet in a discreet apartment in Belgrade.
While it is difficult to take the bluff into account, Veljko Belivuk's statements are damning for Aleksandar Vučić and shed light on the
relationship
between political power and hooligan groups.
Tokyo Olympics
Kosovo sent eleven athletes to the Tokyo Olympics.
Among them, five judokas and as many chances of medals.
All are licensed from the same club, in Peja, managed by former champion Toni Kuka.
These exceptional talents are writing
the most beautiful page in the country's sporting history.
Lana Pudar would surely have liked to make more waves in the Tokyo pools, but the
"dolphin"
of Mostar was eliminated at the gates of the semi-finals of the 100 meters butterfly.
However, the very young 15-year-old swimmer has already achieved a small miracle: to qualify for the Olympics without an Olympic swimming pool to train.

1991, last summer of Yugoslavia
On July 28, 1991, Yutel television organized a Concert for Peace, with the best groups from all over Yugoslavia.
A huge crowd gathers at the Zetra Center in Sarajevo, as the sounds of boots approach.
Memories of the "concert of the losers".
In the early summer of 1991, when Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence, children of the Yugoslav diaspora who had grown up in France watched helplessly as the first outbreaks of violence began.
Three decades later, they recount their memories and draw up, moved, the assessment of the
disappearance of the country that everyone thought was indestructible.
