The new European fund for competitiveness, with a proposed 450 billion euros, is a unique opportunity for stronger investments in research and innovation and quality projects across our Union. However, we must build competitiveness in all member states. The experience of Horizon Europe, in which six countries use as much as 70 percent of the funds, warns about the balances that the new fund must avoid. Croatian MEP Nikolina Brnjac (HDZ/EPP) said in a debate after the speech by the Commission President that it is necessary to ensure that funds from the new long-term budget, particularly in the area of competitiveness, are distributed more evenly to member states. #energetska_neovisnost #čistaenergija #fosilnagoriva (translated)

Klaus Riskær Pedersen criticized the former and current government for the handling of the CPR register. He wrote that systematic data collection could have taken place without being stopped by the security systems and called it a political scandal that required immediate accountability. Pedersen claimed that the problems were due to Minister of Interior and Housing Christian Rabjerg Madsen awarding the operation of the CPR system to the American company DXC Technology in 2022. He also criticized former Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, stating that the tender in 2021 was carried out under the GPA agreement, which allowed American companies to bid. According to Pedersen, the agreement allowed for the exclusion of foreign bidders on grounds of security and vital national interests, and he believed that the CPR register, which he described as critical infrastructure, should not have been entrusted to a foreign company. He placed the responsibility for the lack of control systems on the Agency for Digitization and believed that the government's leadership bore political accountability for the appointments. He wrote that Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had not made the decision herself but had appointed a political leadership that he considered lacking in professionalism and experience. He also claimed that the government had been so preoccupied with the war in Europe by the end of 2022 that it had not concerned itself with the CPR system. Furthermore, Pedersen criticized that the Parliament, in his opinion, would choose Henrik Frandsen from the Moderates as chairman, even though Frandsen had only served in Parliament for four years. He described Frandsen as unworthy of the position and accused him of serious moral shortcomings. Pedersen wrote that all Danish citizens must remain vigilant until those responsible figured out whether new CPR numbers were necessary, suggesting that Russia would be to blame. He alleged that businesses' access to the register had been shut down, causing chaos, and that the lack of identity verification could make it difficult for public institutions to hire educators. He compared the situation to previous problems in the police's data systems. #Inkompetence #Politik #Danmark (translated)

It was difficult to say anything after such an evening. The biggest defeat, you said it yourself, I’m sorry, we are disappointed, I’m sorry for the fans, I’m sorry for the children who were in the stands. I’m sorry for all Croatian fans, but believe me, we, I was just with the players, we talked a bit, it’s hardest for us. We didn’t even dream that this could happen. Everything looked good, however, there was a total... whether to call it a bad day, whether to call it a blackout, it’s silly to analyze a match lost 7:0, but we still need to find reasons for that, we knew they are a top team. But we couldn’t match them in any area, neither in aggression, nor in technique, nor in physicality, and then it’s clear later that self-confidence drops, focus drops, and with that, the willpower drops. Everything collapses, everything goes in the wrong direction, and we understood this competition in the Nations League as a kind of trial, to get some insights and answers from it. We got some answers, not the ones we wanted, but we got them. They are very painful. I even told the players that there are matches, like the one in Seville, that simply need to be forgotten and to turn the page as soon as possible because there’s a new match in a couple of days. But the only good that can come from this, and there isn’t much good, is that this is a match that shouldn’t be forgotten, but rather remembered for a lifetime. To always remind you when you stumble a bit in anything, to know what to do, and God forbid it ever happens again, because Croatian fans, Croatian players, and all of Croatia do not deserve such a Croatia as it was tonight. It’s not a problem to lose convincingly, especially not against such an opponent. Croatia has lost 6:0 in Elche to Spain, but personally, I do not recall such helplessness from the first to the last minute. Do you even have a reason for that? There’s no reason for that. Yesterday everything looked good, in fact, all the time in this preparation, we have been training well, the atmosphere is excellent, work-focused, every detail is taken care of. But simply, there’s nothing smart to say. It’s clear that the responsibility is mine, I am the coach, this is my team. Of course, we will analyze it, it’s clear we will watch it, however, despite all the situations in which perhaps some players are not playing in their clubs, that still cannot account for such a difference. The truth is that we played against Spain and against England, but to concede 12 goals in three matches is defensively unacceptable. What can be changed in such a short time? So, to speak realistically, that’s what I said, my God, to myself and everyone, I don’t believe that England would beat, as far as I know, Estonia 7:0 at that moment. So, that’s unacceptable for Croatia. But believe me that it’s hardest for us, only we, only the players and I, only we can pull ourselves out of this with one good performance against Spain. It’s easy to be positive when things are good, it’s easy to be a friend when things are good. In these difficult moments, and it can’t be harder than it is right now, now is the right moment to show solidarity, to show character. It’s silly to say now that we will beat Spain, but let’s show a brave Croatia, a strong Croatia, the kind of Croatia that has always been good, whenever it has been successful, the one that showed a big common heart from which energy clearly emerges later, and in the end, that translates into quality. Bilić: We didn’t even dream that this could happen. #Hrvatska #nogomet #Ligenacija (translated)

"Kina i Sjedinjene Američke Države dvije su velike nacije s velikim narodima. Ovdje sam kako bismo nastavili njegovati naše prijateljstvo, proširili suradnju i unaprijedili dobrobit obaju naših naroda. Interesi Kine i SAD-a duboko su isprepleteni i bez naše međusobne suradnje bilo bi iznimno teško riješiti mnoge od gorućih svjetskih problema. Naše dvije zemlje nose povijesnu odgovornost za promicanje ljudskog napretka i spreman sam surađivati s predsjednikom Trumpom kako bismo zajednički upravljali kormilom kinesko-američkih odnosa. Moramo jačati komunikaciju; iskren, dubok i kontinuiran dijalog najbolji je put prema jačanju razumijevanja i međusobnog povjerenja. Između mene i predsjednika Trumpa postoji duboko osobno poštovanje i razvili smo kvalitetan odnos. Moramo osigurati mirnu koegzistenciju, a natjecanje između naših gospodarstava mora ostati pozitivno i u jasnim okvirima. Naše vojske trebaju održavati redoviti dijalog i ne smijemo prijeći granicu sukoba, Kina i SAD imaju sve za dobiti iz suradnje, dok bi u slučaju sukoba obje strane pretrpjele poraz. Kao vodeće sile u području umjetne inteligencije, snosimo odgovornost usmjeriti njezin razvoj prema općem dobru te osigurati da AI tehnologija uijek ostane pod ljudskom kontrolom i u službi dobrobiti društva. Također, Kina drži svoja vrata širom otvorena i izražava dobrodošlicu američkim tvrtkama koje žele poslovati i investirati na našem tržištu, a jednako se tako nadamo da će kineske tvrtke ovdje u SAD-u imati pravedan i ravnopravan tretman. Kako bismo dodatno učvrstili veze naših naroda, ovim putem upućujem službeni poziv za 100.000 američkih studenata da u narednih pet godina posjete Kinu radi razmjene i studija. Jednako tako, s ponosom objavljujem da će u sklopu nastavka naše tradicije partnerstva dvije pande, Ping Ping i Fu Shuang, u nadolazećim danima useliti u svoj novi dom u zoološkom vrtu u Atlanti"U izjavi nakon dolaska koju je prenijela kineska novinska agencija Xinhua, Xi je izrazio nadu u stabilnije odnose sa SAD-om, poručivši da bi Peking i Washington trebali biti "partneri, a ne suparnici" te da se "povijesna logika mirnog suživota" dviju zemalja nije promijenila. #Trump #XiJinping #SADKina

Čedalje več učiteljev na učenca, čedalje višje plače in čedalje slabši rezultati. Kot vse državno. 2013: 16 učencev na učitelja 2026: slabih 11 učencev na učitelja Moja glavna poanta je pa sledeča: jaz nisem proti več javnemu kar tako. Ker bi imel ideološko kaj proti. Tako kot so spohanci proti kapitalizmu kar tako. Sem proti, ker več kot očitno javno slabo opravlja svojo nalogo. Podatki na področju šolstva so absolutno jasni. Jaz bi rad čim boljše storitve po najnižji možni ceni. To je moja edina “ideologija”. In v Sloveniji javni sektor iz leta v leto dela ravno obratno. Čedalje slabša kvaliteta po čedalje višji ceni. #izobraževanje #javnisector #kvaliteta
