Kosovo’s quest for protection in the EU

The country, inhabited by a majority of Albanians, submitted its membership application at a delicate moment. He is supported by Austria.

Brussels. Kosovo is still not recognized as a sovereign state by all EU countries. Five countries denied this to the leadership in Pristina. However, Prime Minister Albin Kurti is pushing for the EU. This week, he submitted an application to the Czech Presidency for membership. As the conflict over the Serb minority with Belgrade is coming to a head, the request is also interpreted as an attempt to seek protection in the EU.

The Serbian leadership under President Aleksandar Vučić asked the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping force KFOR for permission to send 1,000 armed police to Kosovo. He doesn’t expect a positive response, Vučić said. According to observers, the request is mainly aimed at making clear that Serbia is prepared to defend its compatriots in Kosovo, if necessary by force of arms. Recently, tensions between the two ethnic groups have increased.

Austria supports Kosovo’s candidacy, which may only lead to EU membership in a few years’ time. Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) assured Kosovo of help in this regard. “A credible EU perspective for the Western Balkans is one of the driving forces for stability and prosperity in the region.”
Bosnia and Herzegovina is one step further. EU leaders gave the country candidate status on Thursday. Financial aid is associated with it. (wb)

Cubs sign Dansby Swanson deal

Cubs sign Dansby Swanson deal

The Cubs are “very close” to a deal with shortstop. Dansby Swansonand are expected to close the deal shortly, reports NBC Sports Chicago’s David Kaplan (via twitter). The deal is a seven-year, $177 million deal that includes a full no-trade clause, according to Bally Sports’ Russell Dorsey (Twitter link). Swanson is represented by Excel Sports Management.

Rumors have been circulating since the summer that the Cubs were planning to sign one of the “big four” shortstops of the 2022-23 offseason — Swanson, Carlos Correa, Trea Turner or Xander Bogaerts. Some reports even suggested that Chicago could sign two of the shortstops to move a player to another position (much like Rangers inked both Corey Seager and Marcus Semien last winter). Initial reports indicated that Correa and Bogaerts were the Cubs’ top options in the group, but during the winter meetings Swanson emerged as “perhaps their most realistic shortstop target,” in the words of The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

As it turned out, all of the big four shortstops changed teams, with Swanson being the last to receive his next contract. Turner signed with the Phillies, Bogaerts with the Padres, Correa with the Giants, and now Swanson will travel to Wrigleyville to join the third other organization of his pro career. Swanson’s Arizona was drafted first overall by the Diamondbacks in 2015 and was limited to 22 A-ball games because it was traded to the Braves in a blockbuster five-man trade in the offseason.

The trade became notorious for Arizona fans, as Shelby Miller (the main play who went to the D’Backs) immediately struggled with his new team, while Georgia-born Swanson thrived with his hometown Braves. Success wasn’t instant for Swanson, who only hit .243/.314/.369 in his first major league appearances in 2016-18. However, he gradually became more prolific at the plate, culminating in a 2022 season in which he hit .277/.329/.447 with 25 homers over 696 PA, which equates to a 116 wRC+.

Swanson also hit 27 homers in 2021 and brought solid power from the shortstop position. It could be that Swanson is still entering his prime as a hitter at the start of his season at 29, making him an even more intriguing addition as an all-around player. Swanson is also an excellent baserunner and has a very strong defensive résumé that includes a gold glove last season. The Outs Above Average metric puts Swanson at +38 overall over the past five seasons, and while his Defensive Runs Saved (+18) and UZR/150 (+0.4) numbers are a bit more inconsistent, Swanson is certainly above average outfielder in one key position of defense.

They want to know who Alessandro Egger is age biography

Do you know who Madalina Doroftei, Alessandro Egger’s girlfriend, is?

Alessandro Egger is a celebrity contestant of Dancing with the Stars in 2022 along with dancer Tove Villfor. Egger was born in Belgrade on September 6, 1991 and moved to Italy with his family when he was 6 years old. They settled in the province of Como before migrating to central Milan. At the age of 13, Alessandro began his professional career appearing in children’s chocolate commercials. To satisfy the curiosity of many of his fans, he is currently in a serious relationship with Romanian model Madalina Doroftei, with whom he has been dating and living for about 5 years.

Alessandro’s star has recently risen thanks to his participation in the film House of Gucci. In a telephone interview with Radio RTL 102.5, he described the surprise and joy he felt when Ridley Scott, the 84-year-old British director, contacted him. Alessandro was able to take part in the film adaptation of the book A True Story of Fashion, Greed and Crime.

Who is Alessandro Egger?

Alessandro Egger, a popular model made famous through candy bar commercials, has recently launched an acting career. He caused quite a stir on Instagram when he appeared in drag, although he later reverted to his previous appearance. Egger was born on September 6, 1991 in Belgrade, Serbia and moved to Como with his family. Today he lives in Milan, where he has built a successful career. As well as being the Nickname of the drama series The Band, he’s also a precious face on the Dolce&Gabbana catwalks.

News from his private life has been connecting Alessandro Egger with the well-known model Madalina Doroftei for some time, known for her appearances on the fashion catwalks of cult brands such as Versace. His girlfriend accompanied him on his gender reassignment journey, which he described to Fatto Quotidiano magazine in 2020: “When I was a kid, around 2006, I was the face of kids bars during the World Cup. Now I get messages from female companions of men dressing up as women. My videos made us think and understand that ignorance and superficiality are not acceptable.”

Madalina Doroftei, originally from Romania, is a model and is engaged to another model, Alessandro Egger. Egger drove up to 3,000 kilometers to be with her, which she sees as an extraordinary token of love. On Instagram, she frequently shares photos of the two (and their dog) as well as of herself in different parts of the world. Alessandro Egger was only 25 years old when he took part in the Beijing Express broadcast, accompanied by his mother, Cristina Vittoria Egger Bertotti, known as the Grand Dame of the Royal House of Savoy.

However, their relationship seems to be over today. At least that’s what the model stood in front of the cameras Dancing with the stars.

“Sometimes you have to know what’s going to happen next. I don’t like putting anyone down. I would describe it for what it is: a relationship that doesn’t exist. I think my mother chose to live life without me. And I accepted it. Finally. And it’s not something I wanted, I left home at 17 and didn’t ask my family for anything. And I didn’t leave the house because I wanted to, but was led to the door.

Karl Schwarzenberg Russia will disintegrate

Karl Schwarzenberg: “Russia will disintegrate”

Former Czech Foreign Minister Karl Schwarzenberg predicts a long war in Ukraine and a defeat for Russia. He still considers neutrality useful, Sebastian Kurz a “wrong Fuffziger” and the ÖVP in danger.

You warned in 2014 that the annexation of Crimea was just the appetizer for Putin and the main course could be all of Ukraine. After the military setbacks of recent months, have Russians lost their appetite for various desserts?

Carl Schwarzenberg: Appetite does not disappear so quickly. It takes a long time for a country to break free of such thoughts. After World War I, Germany experienced what happened to Russia in the 1990s. For Putin’s generation, who was still serving in East Germany when the Soviet Union encompassed all of Central Asia and the western border was in Erfurt and Eger , the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century. And he wanted to make amends for it.

So you believe that imperialism is deeply rooted in Russia.

Before Germany could be cured of this, she had to lose a terrible world war. Russia has been expanding steadily since the 15th century. As Václav Havel once said: The tragedy of Russia is that it does not know its borders. Any imperial power must suffer a major defeat before it can return to normal thinking.

A Patrice Bergeron Day in Massachusetts

A “Patrice Bergeron Day” in Massachusetts

The Boston Bruins reserved a beautiful ceremony for their captain Patrice Bergeron to celebrate his 1,000 points in the National Hockey League on Saturday.

The 37-year-old from Quebec was greeted at TD Garden before the start of today’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has also issued a proclamation to Number 37 formalizing that December 17, 2022 has been declared “Patrice Bergeron Day” in that American state.

Bergeron achieved that milestone by receiving an assist from Brad Marchand in a match against the Tampa Bay Lightning on November 21.

A native of L’Ancienne-Lorette, he earned his 1000th point just over 19 years after earning his first. He was an accomplice on a Brian Rolston network on October 15, 2003.

This makes him the fourth player in history to earn 1,000 points with the Bruins. Raymond Bourque (1506), Johnny Bucyk (1339) and Phil Esposito (1012) preceded him.
