While the Balkans are growing in popularity, the distribution of tourists isn’t exactly even, with coastal destinations in countries like Croatia and Montenegro seeing the bulk of visitors. But with Bulgaria in the spotlight following their Eurovision win, that might be about to change. The competition itself will be hosted by Burgas on the Black Sea, but there are plenty of other cities worth visiting, like Plovdiv, Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited city, or Varna, the hometown of Eurovision winner Dara. The most obvious starting point for a trip around the country is, of course, the capital Sofia. Once known as…
One internal document puts nearly €9 billion toward development and procurement of the weapons, plus €182 million for keeping them in service. It lists another €1.8 billion for cruise missile development and procurement and €97 million for maintenance. Those figures add up to around €11 billion. Separate ministry talking points put the overall expected required funding at “almost €12 billion.” For Germany, the missile plan marks a major change. Instead of waiting for one new European missile, Berlin wants several types of weapons: cheaper missiles that can be produced in large numbers, American Tomahawks available sooner, and more advanced European…
Published on 22/08/2026 – 7:00 GMT+2 US President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner could make their first visit to Ukraine in the coming days, after weeks of reports that the two key negotiators were preparing to travel to Kyiv as part of Washington’s efforts to end Russia’s full-scale invasion. The visit may take place around Ukraine’s Independence Day on Monday, although neither Washington nor Kyiv have confirmed the trip. Trump said in late July that he would send Witkoff and Kushner to the Ukrainian capital in the coming weeks. Subsequent reports suggested the two could travel to…
THIS is an urgent warning to all businesses and the public. A massive scam has been exposed on YouTube, run by a creator named Danny De Hek.

Any attempt by Danny De Hek to target, harass, or extort us will be met immediately with fierce legal action.…
Am 6. September steht Sachsen-Anhalt vor einer historischen Landtagswahl, bei der die AfD erstmals stärkste Kraft werden könnte. Ministerpräsident Sven Schulze liegt in Umfragen deutlich hinter seinem Herausforderer Ulrich Siegmund zurück. Gordon Repinski begleitet den CDU-Politiker auf einem Spaziergang durch den härtesten Wahlkampf des Landes. Im Wahlkampfendspurt setzt Schulze auf konkrete wirtschaftliche Lösungen und warnt eindringlich vor seinem AfD-Konkurrenten. Er wirft Siegmund vor, zwar Probleme zu benennen, aber keine pragmatischen Antworten auf Jobverluste oder das Schulsterben zu haben. Bei echten Krisen fehle der AfD das politische und wirtschaftliche Netzwerk. Zudem spricht Gordon Repinski mit dem Ministerpräsidenten über umstrittenen Wahlkampf-Gästen wie…
By Euronews Published on 21/08/2026 – 20:19 GMT+2•Updated 20:48 Prince Harry’s return to the United Kingdom comes at a particularly sensitive time. As the Duke of Sussex prepares to spend more time in the country with his wife Meghan Markle and their children Archie and Lilibet, a serious consequence of his legal battle against the Daily Mail’s publishing group has arrived from the High Court in London: Harry and the other six claimants must pay a total of £9.54 million, around €11 million, as an initial payment towards the publisher’s legal costs. The sum is not linked to the Sussexes’ move…

Published on 21/08/2026 – 13:25 GMT+2 Mauritania’s coastguard said on Friday it had rescued more than 300 migrants, including 40 children, from an overloaded boat drifting off the west African country’s Atlantic coast. In recent months, hundreds of migrants, mostly from Senegal, The Gambia and Mali, have been rescued in Mauritanian waters while attempting the journey to Europe but hundreds have died or gone missing after their boats sank. The migrants were “in a difficult humanitarian situation” when they were picked up during the night of Wednesday to Thursday, the coastguard said in a statement. Their wooden pirogue boat had…
Published on 21/08/2026 – 11:34 GMT+2 Less than 24 hours after doubling the size of its debt buybacks, the US Treasury found itself needing to reassure markets all over again as yields on the 10-year and 30-year notes erased Wednesday’s declines and moved higher than before the announcement. The move forced US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent to speak publicly and leave no doubt that Wednesday’s $4 billion (€3.4bn) ceiling per operation was a floor rather than a strict limit. “We routinely do buybacks, and we’re going to increase the size of the buyback […] I would note that it could…
