Podijeljenost Bosne i Hercegovine reflektuje se i na humanitarnom nivou: izabrani politički lideri iz dva bosanskohercegovačka entiteta najglasniji su kada stiže pomoć iz politički njima naklonjenih država, što se odražava i u medijskom izvještavanju.

Kako je poziv na saradnju u vezi sa Covid-19 pripisan Briselu?
Mreža nevladinih organizacija okupljenih u okviru Radne grupe Nacionalnog konventa o Evropskoj uniji za Poglavlje 35 potpuno neočekivano je postala, ni manje ni više, nego sama Evropska unija.

Bugarska “balkanski“ izvadila crveni karton za evrointegracije Severne Makedonije
Proteklih sedam dana u pogledu spoljne politike, bila su među “najvrelijim” nedeljama koje je Makedonija imala od osamostaljenja do sada. U iščekivanju toga šta će EU rešiti sledeće nedelje o dodeljivanju datuma za početak pregovora za priključivanje evropskoj porodici, u balkanskom EU susedstvu prohujao je pravi tornado, na samo jednu nedelju pre nego Evropski savet donese konačnu odluku da...
Još uvek se ne zna da li će EU razdvojiti integracije Makedonije i Albanije
