Today I participate in the Olympics. Well, almost. The meeting of the Venice Club is taking place in the Zappione - a building constructed for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

My input will be on building the resilience of societies, including the media, as we do at @freepressunlimited.org

A message on #WPFD2025 shared with @tvpworld.bsky.social today: The world should better protect journalists and press freedom, as w/out free media people won't be able to make informed choices influencing their lives and safety. If media lose, disinfo wins, but everyone else loses.

Got a present from colleagues who believe this defines my role in the organisation (life?) better than official titles.

This “russian” shop in the middle of Zagreb sells Ukrainian pastry, Georgian mineral water, Belarusian cosmetics (“last items bought before sanctions”) and lots of Germany-made pickled and canned foods. That’s how they see Russia, I guess. Or its aspirations.

While a speedy railway between Warsaw and Vilnius is something to dream of, and probably not in our generation’s lifetime,

finishing roadworks in two places makes it possible to travel for just 5 hours - or 6 with stops.

In #lithuania for the next 3 days. Sky as blue as can be locally.
