In defiance of their government that refuses to send military aid to Ukraine, Slovak crowdfunders have already raised over 3 million EUR for the Czech ammunition initiative.

Slovakia’s pro-Kremlin PM Robert Fico calls their crowdfunding campaign a “fart”:

Kremlin-aligned Bosnian Serb secessionist Милорад Додик shortly after having been appeased by a number of EU officials, incl. Gert Jan Koopman and @AnEichhorst:

• Everything that is coming from the West is lie and that’s why Serbs are against it.

Israeli ambassador to Serbia Vilan in an interview with Serbian Sputnik:

• It is wrong to use the term genocide for Srebrenica as it creates a distorted picture of the events.

• By calling Srebrenica a genocide, we diminish the importance of that term. klix.ba/vijesti/bih/am…

🇲🇰 Skopje on this day in 2017: Bloody Thursday, the storming of the parliament by some 200 nationalists, mostly ВМРО-ДПМНЕ supporters, following the appointment of talat xhaferi, an ethnic Albanian, as Speaker.

ВМРО-ДПМНЕ is set to return to power following the 8 May election.

The @AlbinKurti govt plans to introduce same-sex unions, w/ the measure being part of the country’s efforts to join @CoE.

If adopted, Kosovo would be the second Western Balkan country to allow for same-sex unions (after Montenegro).

Only 20% of Kosovars support same-sex unions.

The nationalist ВМРО-ДПМНЕ, having strong leanings toward Moscow/Belgrade/Budapest, is set for a big win in the presidential & parliamentary vote on 8 May.

The 2006-16 ВМРО-ДПМНЕ rule ended in a major political crisis & with authoritarian PM Nikola Gruevski fleeing to Hungary.

Slovak ultranationalist MEP Miroslav @RadacovskyMEP releases a dove during a debate in the European Parliament.

Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani just wiping the floor with the Serbian leader at UNSC today:

Instead of spewing propaganda, Vucic should have told us whether he regrets having served so loyally to Milosevic.

Mr Vucic, take a moment to apologize to the victims of his regime.

Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani at UNSC:

About 500,000 Serbs have left Serbia under Vucic. It should be clear to us who the Serbs are actually running away from.

Kosovo Serbs are granted unparalleled legislative influence such as veto power over constitutional amendments.

According to BILD, Croatian PM Andrej Plenković & Greek PM @KMitsotakis are being considered EPP’s alternative candidates to replace @vonderLeyen.

In their home countries, both have presided over rampant corruption, illiberal policies & serious deterioration in media freedoms.

.Assistant Secretary Jim O'Brien O’Brien to Serbia’s president Vučić:

I was a young attorney working on war crimes. I was part of a team of investigators that looked into murders in Srebrenica. It was a crime documented in court to be a genocide. All I ask for is partnership in looking for the truth.

A violent protest in Tirana where protesters started throwing Molotov cocktails at the Municipality building.

Opposition supporters are calling on Tirana mayor @ErionVeliaj to resign as some of his closest associates have been arrested in corruption cases.

Standing next to Serbia’s Speaker @AnaBrnabic, who is openly lesbian & has a kid, Darko Banjac, an extremist MP from RS, is hurling homophobic slurs at Милорад Додик’s rally in Banja Luka:

• I don’t want to join the fa*gy EU where there are parents 1 & 2.

Kremlin-aligned Bosnian Serb secessionist Милорад Додик grows desperate. 

At a rally in Banja Luka, he threatens to secede from Bosnia & Herzegovina if the UNGA resolution on the Srebrenica Genocide is passed:

• “And when will we leave? When Trump wins.”

As PACE rightly notes in its opinion on Kosovo’s @CoE membership that was adopted by an overwhelming majority, the establishment of an Association of Serb majority municipalities should be ‘a POST-ACCESSION commitment’.

Looking forward to the final vote by the CoM in May.
