35 years ago, Dubrovnik became a target of destruction, but it never lost what makes it the City of Freedom – its pride, dignity, and unyielding spirit. Today, we remember with deep respect the Croatian defenders and civilian victims, all those who stood in defense of our City and (translated)

"No one is safe from PFAS. They must be banned, and the phase-out must be planned, supported, and completed." The Green MEP, Cristina Guarda, said this during a press conference organized in Brussels to present the results of the study 'PFAS levels in Europeans', which analyzed the presence of various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, the so-called 'eternal pollutants', in the blood of 110 volunteers from nine European countries, including Italy: Italy, Belgium, France, Croatia, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Denmark, and Finland.

"Sjećate li se Biljane Plavšić u posjeti Bijeljini u rano proljeće 1992. godine? Bilo je to nakon što je ratni zločinac Željko Ražnatović Arkan upravo 'oslobodio' ovaj bosanski grad od Bošnjaka, na čemu mu je gospođa i čestitala. Odjevena elegantno kao i obično, sa svježom frizurom i u visokim petama, zagrlila ga je i poljubila onako baš srdačno, dok su oko nje na pločniku ležali tek ubijeni ljudi koje je morala preskakati da bi došla do njega"pisala je književnica i novinarka Slavenka Drakulić o Plavšić. #BiljanaPlavšić #RatniZločini #RepublikaSrpska

What I think. I believe it is necessary to make some clarifications regarding the many things that are being said these days about the actions of the technical consultant appointed by the then Public Prosecutor of Vigevano. When a public prosecutor entrusts an assessment to their own technical consultant and the assessment is carried out in the manner provided for in Article 360 of the Criminal Procedure Code - that is, involving the defenders of the accused and any appointed consultants - that consultant has a legal obligation to make available to the same Public Prosecutor, and obviously to the other parties, all the material related to their work. The obligation of the consultant to submit all documentation is accompanied by the prosecutor's duty to include everything in their file so that the parties can, if they wish, use that material in a future trial. In this case, the lack of knowledge of every operation related to the assignment has ultimately created a procedural flaw (or perhaps it would be better to define it as a “virus”) that has then spread in the subsequent phases of the proceeding. Just to give a concrete example, the experts that the Judge of the abbreviated trial had appointed for an ad hoc expertise on this aspect (DNA on the pedals) did not have knowledge of the negative replies. This process continued until we reached the latest ruling of the Supreme Court, which considered that it was undisputed that there was highly cellular genetic material belonging to the victim on the pedals of the "Umberto Dei" bicycle. By denying the judges of the merits (the GUP of Vigevano and the Courts of Assize of Appeal in Milan) knowledge of the objectively hidden elements (in the sense of "not present"), it ultimately undermined, in my humble opinion, the entire validation process of the evidence, rendering it in fact illegitimate. I am firmly convinced that the Public Prosecutor's Office of Pavia is necessarily committed to the faithful reconstruction of what happened and any related responsibilities. Last note. If at the time of the appeal presented by Stasi's defense to the European Court of Human Rights it had been possible to report this enormous violation of the right to defense that was unknown at the time, the outcome of the appeal would have been completely different.

11 years after I graduated with distinction from my master's in Petroleum Engineering, I walked through the door of one of the largest oil companies. 11 years ago, just before I completed my studies, I was selected among thousands of students in the United Kingdom for Shell's graduate program. But a few months later, oil prices were so low that every new investment froze, along with all recruitment programs. I worked in any job I could to make a living. From university conducting research to being a waiter and a mathematics teacher. I later returned to Greece and worked for a large Greek shipping company in Piraeus. There, I experienced the medieval times in the workplace. Insults, shouting, belittlement. From a person high up in the hierarchy but with far less knowledge and ability than me. When I realized that the situations I was living through were sick and that I was at risk of becoming like those who had gotten used to them, I made the decision to resign. I resigned in a way that made an impact. My resignation became a catalyst for many changes, and that toxic person was finally fired six months later. For 13 years, he shattered many souls, but today I owe him a thank you. Due to what I experienced with him, I decided to immigrate to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, I experienced another world. Respect, opportunities, recognition of value. Until today, I have always had leaders with abilities, knowledge, and above all, immense wisdom in managing people. Managing people through communication according to each person's personality, not through power and fear. In my new position, I was asked to travel to Norway representing my team. I just finished a presentation with representatives from major companies in the field present. Dozens of nationalities. Different backgrounds. But everyone shared the same culture. A culture of collaboration, respect, and safety (mental and physical) at work. I received compliments immediately after the presentation from my team leadership. A leadership that does not hesitate to reward. A leadership that inspires by example and shows genuine interest in the well-being of its team members in practice. As I was leaving the building, I took this photo to remember that it took me 11 years. 11 years after completing my studies in the field, I found myself crossing the threshold of a company in the industry. It's never too late... As long as you make the decision to leave any rotten environment before it starts rotting you too. #Norway #Netherlands (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo deserves a farewell befitting the legend he is. With the whole stadium full, the titles he has won with his country, and people crying their eyes out in the stands. It's the least he deserves. They cannot let it be a bitter retirement through the back door. Cristiano has made his country greater, and no one doubts that. We must be grateful to the one who has given everything. People have short memories (especially in football), but only a fool could question his legacy. (translated)

The obstacles under our feet will not stop us. Together with Minister Franci Matoz, we want to make it easier for people to obtain building permits and reduce unnecessary bureaucracy. Therefore, we have given the municipal office guidelines for more uniform and efficient decision-making. This was followed by a report to the administrative inspection. The inspectorate confirmed the legal basis for issuing such guidelines. I am publishing its response. We continue with the debureaucratization. @vladaRS (translated)

The brutal behind-the-scenes story of José Antonio Morante's signing by Real Betis: “In my youth team, Granada was going to sign me. It was a week of Feria de Sevilla and we couldn't go because my father was bullfighting.” “My father fought on Wednesday, cut the tail, and on Thursday, Betis calls me. It was a very special week, the happiness of a child who has always been to the stadium.” “Betis is EVERYTHING to me. I went as a child to try out, but they didn't take me.” “Later, my father fell ill in my first season at Betis, looking at the stands and not seeing the one who had always been with me was really hard.” “Being without seeing your father for several months due to an illness makes you see what life is. It made me stronger.” “If I have a lot of nerves and I have a game at night, I go to the field to grab the muleta and the cape at my house. It relaxes me a lot.” “I am very happy to be the son of who I am, but I have always tried to make my way on my own, with my feet on the ground.” (translated)
