In her State of the Union, Ursula von der Leyen chose silence on the alarming situation in Serbia. A silence that looks less like prudence and more like embarrassment—because her party family, the EPP, still counts Vučić’s SNS among its members. Is it complicity, indifference, or fear of discomfort?

Amidst all terrible news, I am sad that here it is not better. Today the VU Amsterdam announced they'll cut Earth Sciences, and fire 39 staff. 130 students are left to figure out how to finish, and an unknown number of PhDs lose their supervisors. My heart goes out to my colleagues 😳😥

A very sad day for the Dutch Earth Science community… They've closed the entire Earth Sciences Department at @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. In this day and age, I can't understand how this fits into any Net-Zero strategy. I'll never forget my time at VU as a Master's student.

Why? To personally deliver news to European institutions of certain important developments in Serbia, since they have been sort of ignoring them.
