✨🎄 Congratulations, Riga! 🎄✨
Riga's Christmas Market has just been named one of the best in Europe!
Located in the heart of the medieval Old Town, the market invites with sparkling lights, festive scents, and a cozy atmosphere we would call gezellig in Dutch.

Together with Latvia and Croatia, we coordinate European efforts to strengthen our drone capabilities.
We need to cooperate more closely while speeding up our progress. For example by joint testing, training and procurement.
And let’s learn from Ukraine, who is leading the way! 🇳🇱🇭🇷🇱🇻
