On a side note, interesting to see @wienerzeitung.at include a section called "Info & Sources." Helpful and transparent.

A well done article by @dennismiskic.bsky.social, in German, on the TikTok ban in #Albania and, more broadly, an "increasingly authoritarian state that can arbitrarily allow or prohibit things." There's no VPN to circumvent that.

In June, Serbia's ex-police chief Vlastimir Djordjevic returned home after 18yrs in prison for war crimes in #Kosovo, including moving about 1,000 bodies to hide the crimes. I testified in his trial.

Instead of demanding answers, the Serbian govt let him rename a street after the units he once led.

Listen, Run, Hide Since the summer of 2024, Russian forces have increasingly armed quadcopter drones and used them to chase, injure, and kill residents living in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson.

Extraordinary piece showing how Russian forces arm and use small drones in their shameful war on Ukrainian civilians to hunt and kill people trying to go about their lives in Kherson

Many thanks for the attention and reflections, esp the point on troubling issues with power consolidation under Rama's rule. I'm updating the book now and future editions likely won't be at Biennale exhibits.

In addition to Lea Ypi, another superb Albanian writer I can recommend is Fatos Lubonja.

28 yrs ago, exiled artist Edi Rama criticized Europe in the New York Times for backing a strongman in #Albania. Those words echo differently today after he secured a 4th term as Prime Minister.
