Yesterday I had the pleasure of hosting the pre-screening of the 🇩🇪&🇽🇰 @artefr.bsky.social documentary “Old herbs, new spirit” at my residence! A beautiful testament to the power of reviving old traditions of raki distillation in an impressive fusion of female empowerment and modern entrepreneurship.

On today‘s opening panel of DISICON 9 I highlighted three key steps for a gender-equal digital sphere: clear policies for online interaction, independent media institutions, and personal responsibility. Together, we must combat disinformation and ensure equality in the digital world.

Media is the fourth pillar of democracy. At the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung conference today I spoke about the issues public service & independent media face: institutional and budgetary challenges, shrinking markets and disinformation. Strengthening journalism is vital to protect democratic discourse.

I regret the obstructive behaviour by some members of the Central Election Commission in refusing to certify Srpska Lista for the upcoming general elections.
The electoral process and technical preparations for the elections must be free from political maneuverings from political actors.

I had such fun meeting the students at the German language department at Pristina University. They have a fantastic curriculum- and their dictionaries were a throwback for me to my own time at uni (don't ask when that was...)

Today, together with my French colleague, we jointly commemorated the Armistice of November 11, 1918. This ceremony, dedicated to honoring the memory of fallen soldiers, stands as a profound symbol of Franco-German reconciliation and shared commitment to peace.

A peaceful revolution is possible. The fall of the Berlin Wall, 36 years ago today, proved it — courage and the desire for freedom brought down oppression and built the path to a united, free Europe.
Freedom isn’t guaranteed. We must stand up for it — then and now, everywhere. #WeInvestInFreedom
