"This applies to new member states as well, as we do not want second-class membership. To join our Union, countries must meet very high standards regarding the rule of law. We must be sure that after accession they will never fall below those standards again. That is what we have learned from past experiences. It is about protecting ourselves. And whatever we do in this regard, we will follow clear procedures. When candidates meet the standards, they will be able to participate in all sectors of common policy, and this is a situation that benefits all actors," said Kos. #CrnaGora #EU #Članstvo (translated)

He cited Mercedes' Distronic system as an example, which he claimed had been available as far back as 1998, and mentioned automatic high beams, lane-keeping assistance, and parking assistants. He admitted that Tesla had its merits, but he was bothered by the fact that some customers defended its shortcomings to others after buying the car. #Tesla #ElonMusk #automobilismus (translated)
Paukner Media announced that it has opened a part of its "Paukner Archive" and claimed that the company of an unnamed individual collaborated with Vladimir Putin's regime and received money from Russia, from Siberia through Tatarstan to Moscow.

He claimed that a key text with evidence was published on HeroHero and that he planned to release it on social media the following day around 5 PM.

Andrej Fiskovec wrote to Andrej Babiš that an unspecified person is the vice-chairman of the defense committee also thanks to the votes of the members of his movement. He stated that the government supports a number of NATO and European Union projects in the field of security and defense, but the vice-chairman's statements undermine citizens' trust in its commitment to collective defense. Fiskovec called for this person to be dismissed from leadership and membership in the committee and for their access to classified security information to be restricted compared to ordinary MPs. He cited their connections to people on the Union's sanctions list as the reason. #Bezpečnost #Obrana #Politika (translated)
Martin Bartkovský stated that after sharing a statement from 40 editors-in-chief, he criticized the journalistic community for failing to unanimously agree on a rejection of violence and equal access to information sharing. He added that he generally expressed his personal opinion about those who repeatedly did not stand up for their colleagues. Subsequently, according to him, he received a number of insults and comparisons to communists. He emphasized that by not signing the statement, in his view, no harm was caused to anyone nor will it be. He stated that he did not plan to fire, kill, or hang anyone and did not prepare lists of inconvenient people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for supporting their colleagues across the field and apologized to them that the discussion had shifted in a different direction due to his contribution. He responded to criticism with several other apologies, including to podcast entrepreneurs, a former colleague, a Czech writer, and a former MEP. Regarding the former colleague, he recalled that for the last 10 years, the status of journalism had been labeled bad, despite the fact that they worked for the same media for six years, which the colleague led. He also mentioned that he apologized for his surname starting with the letter B, which he had for 37 years, and for the reference to Chinese spies. He also apologized to the media Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which he said were not invited to the statement, despite discussions about its wording lasting a month. He offered to connect anyone interested in adding their signature with the organizers, among whom he claimed he did not belong. In a note, he stated that he deleted the original post because he confused two writers and mistook a father for a son in connection with the anti-chart. He apologized for the error, yet called the comparison to the anti-chart inappropriate, stating that parallels with the communist past, in his view, did not help anything. #žurnalistika #svobodaSlova #politika (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that when he shared the statement from forty editors-in-chief, he did not expect the reaction it would provoke. He criticized that the journalistic community he addressed, according to him, was unable to unanimously agree even on rejecting violence in their relationship with politicians and on equal access to sharing information. He added that he expressed his personal judgment about those who repeatedly refused to stand up for their colleagues in an indirect manner. For that, he claimed to have received a number of insults and comparisons to communists; one of the people who signed the Anticharta wrote to him that he had never seen anything more disgusting. Bartkovský clarified that not signing the statement did not harm anyone and would not harm anyone, and he rejected the idea that he wanted to dismiss, threaten, or create lists of uncomfortable people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for their support for colleagues from the entire field and apologized to them for the discussion veering in a different direction due to his contribution. He then made a series of apologies that he delivered ironically: among other things, to podcast entrepreneurs for reminding him of something other than Chinese communism, to a former colleague for criticizing journalism at a time when they both worked in the same media for six years, and to a Czech writer for reminding him of his signature on the Anticharta. He also apologized to those who labeled him a "svazák" (a term for a member of the youth organization during the communist regime) and to a former Member of the European Parliament regarding his judgment about Bartkovský's character. He added that he also apologizes to the media outlets Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which, according to him, were not addressed, even though the text had been discussed for a month. He offered to connect interested parties with the organizers of the statement so that they could join him. #žurnalistika #komunikace #mediálníetiketa (translated)
