Italy opens controversial migrant center in Albania
TIRANA — Italy, which receives the most migrant arrivals in the European Union, is partially outsourcing the challenge from today, as it opens the first of two planned camps in neighboring Albania.The centers will be used to house up to 3000 migrants per month rescued en route to Italy as part of Europe’s first "offshoring" scheme, while the continent grapples with how to respond to the challenge of irregular migration.The camp that opens Thursday is located in the northern Albanian port of Shengjin.

Fresh protests threaten EU-backed lithium mining plan in Serbia
BELGRADE — Just days before signing a cooperation agreement with the EU on critical raw materials supply, Serbia gave the renewed go-ahead for Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto to develop what could be Europe’s largest lithium reserves — but further delay looks possible as a fresh wave of protests sweeps the country.The Jadar mining project had been on hold since 2022 when Belgrade withdrew approval for a spatial plan for the 250-hectare site amid widespread public opposition.But after a constitutional court ruled the move unlawful earlier this month, the government headed by President Aleksandar Vučić promptly adopted a decree on 16 July allowing the project to restart immediately.Three days later, European Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič inked a...

I was rocked by the explosion,” said Sgt. Kyrylo Masalitin, who was later released. “Never before have I felt so helpless. And those still in captivity feel that helplessness every day.
