“The two most potent symbols of power in the modern world – the dollar and nuclear weapons – come from this quaint mining town in the Bohemian hills.” This would be perfect book idea: world history distilled in a town you’ve probably never heard of.

After more than 230 years, the US stopped minting the penny this week. But long before that, the first dollar was coined – and it was created in a one-road town far away from the USA.

Every couple of years, a fundamental misunderstanding between the East and the West of Europe reappears re. the WW2. In the occupied Western parts, life went on as before. Sartre continued writing & his plays were shown in theaters. Simone kept on sipping coffee at Les deux

Time to move Europe’s capital to a livable city in the middle of the continent so equally (in)accessible to all, east, west, north and south. How about Prague?

EE, FI, LT, LV & PL to w/draw from #Ottawa #Convention, which bans the use & production of anti-personnel #mines. Unfortunate but necessary decision, driven by Russia’s continued aggression. And these may not be the last EU countries to take such a step. https://t.co/4NwocR9QZO

Five Baltic states want to leave a convention that prohibits use and production of mines, a move accepted by the European Commission and Parliament.

The EU published its White Paper for European Defence Readiness 2030 in March. What does it mean for the future of European defense and Ukraine? @PetrVTuma explains that this roadmap is not a silver bullet for Europe's security: https://t.co/wO511WZnv5

To implement the European Commission’s defense readiness report, EU member states must make significant financial commitments and navigate the bloc’s political divisions.

No, I don’t believe #Czechia is about to become the first EU country to move its #embassy to #Jerusalem. @ynetnews, double-check your sources and their agenda. Sure, there may be some pressure on others due to the Hungary talks, but that doesn’t mean anyone else is moving.

Created this basic family tree for Ahmad al-Shar'a based on his father's book on the family's history in recent generations. Thought it might be of interest. Happy to expand it if anyone has anymore details.

I agree with @kajakallas that the EU should become a beacon of freedom. So when do we start? Here I offer six ways to actually light the beacon and step into the role history has chosen for us. Our response to the current uncertainty can be firm and long term. A thread.🧵1/17

Bylo mi cti tenhle panel moderovat. A pro případné zájemce zde připomínám, ze civilní mise CSDP EU predstavuji jednu z nejsnazších cest k zaměstnáni v rámci struktur EU. Zejm. pokud mate poptávaný profil, dnes mj. hybrid, cyber, disinfo etc.
Jak se stát civilním expertem v misi EU? 🇪🇺 Na MZV dnes zaznělo vše podstatné: výběrová řízení, typy kontraktů i realita v terénu. V rámci semináře o příležitostech v misích EU vystoupil Mirco Kreibich z EEAS/CPCC @eu_eeas i čeští experti z Ukrajiny a Gruzie.
