The Armenian foreign minister hailed the news as an important milestone. But for a country still grappling with economic challenges, scarred by conflict, and dependent on Russia, how clear is Armenia’s path to European integration?

Sveti Stefan, a stunning islet off the western coast of Montenegro, also known as the “pearl” of Montenegro, is one of the country's most beautiful cultural sites. Yet many Montenegrins don't have access to it. Why? And how did this cultural heritage site go from being a beloved mediaeval fortress to featuring on the list of the Seven Most Endangered Heritage Sites in Europe for 2023?

Can the French left alliance get themselves together and finally form a government, can migrants in the EU ever catch a break, and why is the Greek government doing the absolute most to champion neoliberalism? These are some of the questions that arose in the past couple of weeks. Let’s explore the answers together. Here’s what happened this week and what it means for Europe.

As the EU top jobs begin to get filled, what kind of Europe will emerge? Depending on who you ask, the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as European Commission President was either a rejection of extremism or a dangerous compromise. With policies from massively expanded border control to a clean energy drive, von der Leyen’s speech reflected the strange mix of right-wingers and Greens who ultimately secured her re-election. But will the head of the EU executive be able to balance the needs of such opposing forces? And has the far-right really been sidelined?

Published yesterday, the KidsRights Foundation published its annual ranking which measures how far children’s rights are safeguarded across the world.
Out of the ten highest-scoring countries, 8 are members of the EU - however other European countries have seen their score plummet this year, with the report revealing some worrying trends when it comes to the health and equality of children on European soil.
So today we ask: what does this report tell us about the environment European countries offer their children ?

Euphoria swept through Georgia last December when the country was officially recognised as an EU member candidate - something Georgians overwhelmingly longed for.
But this enthusiasm was crushed last week when the EU halted Georgia’s accession process and froze the 30 million euros in assistance to its Defence Ministry.
Why? Because of a specific law adopted by the Georgian parliament.
What’s this bill all about? And how will it affect Georgia’s path to becoming a member of the EU?

“I’m supposed to be dead”. These were the words of former US president Donald Trump after an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening.
The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired a sniper rifle at Trump, grazing his ear and killing a civilian in the crowd, and critically injuring two others.
How might this assassination attempt impact Trump’s presidential bid?
And what repercussions might we feel in Europe?

What political weeks these have been: snap general elections in France, another snap general election in the UK, the top job at the EU institutions up for grabs, Hungary taking over the presidency of the Council of the European Union for the next six months, the Dutch far-right government forming a coalition government 223 days after the elections - the list goes on and on.

More than thirty asylum seekers have been stranded in the buffer zone that divides Cyprus. They can’t go back, and the government won’t let them in. And conditions are bleak. Having fled Cameroon, Syria, Iran and Afghanistan, this small group seeking refuge in Cyprus are now stuck in no man’s land, itself ironically a relic of an unresolved war. What does this say about the EU’s increasingly hostile policy towards migrants? And how does this expose the failure to reach a solution to one of its longest running frozen conflicts?

‘Remember Srebrenica’. You can find these two words tagged on walls in different cities across Bosnia Herzegovina, accompanied by a number: 8 732 ; the number of muslim bosniak men and teenage boys killed in the infamous Srebrenica genocide of 1995, towards the end of Bosnia’s civil war which killed around 100 000 people. Today marks 29 years since what is considered to be the worst atrocity committed on European soil since the end of World War II. In this episode, Europe, Day by Day remembers Srebrenica, and asks why this year’s anniversary is particularly significant.

Legally speaking, Croatian women have the right to get an abortion. But why do so many cross the border to Slovenia to find the medical care they require?
Yesterday, the Association Autonomous Women’s House Zagreb called on the government to intervene to protect women’s right to abortion, which in practice is scarcely respected in the predominantly Catholic country.
Today, we ask: what are pro-choice organizations’ demands in Croatia? And as we retrace the history of abortion rights in this Balkan country, we wonder why Croatian women are now struggling to terminate their pregnancies.

As visitors enjoyed their meals in Las Ramblas, one of the most touristy areas in Barcelona, they were sprayed with water pistols by locals who were chanting “Tourists go home”, an experience probably not listed by their guide book.
Barcelonians seem to have had enough with the way tourism is currently done, so as we near summer holidays, we ask why and what does this tell us about the reality of travelling today?
If you want to learn more about practical ways to switch to slow travelling, here are some resources you can check out:

As pundits and polls predicted the far-right National Rally would become the first party in the French Assembly, the second round of the legislative elections yielded shocking results.
It was the newly-formed left alliance, the New Popular Front which, in the end, arrived ahead, securing 182 seats thanks to significant pushback votes. Macron’s Ensemble alliance gathered 168 seats and the National Rally arrived in third place with 143 seats.
How can we explain this surprising turn of events? And what does it mean for the future of French politics?

The Greek government has just announced that starting next week, some private sector industries will move to a 48-hour work-week, - meaning a 6-day work-week! This decision goes against the global trend. Why did the Greek government make such a decision and what does it mean for our societies and economies?

This week, the King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander swore in Dick Schoof as PM along with his newly formed cabinet while civilians protested outside the palace walls, concerned that the new government poses a threat to Dutch democracy and the rule of law.
But today, left-wing Dutch politician Timmermans is filing a motion of no confidence against two ministers of this newly formed cabinet which was sworn in only two days ago.
This is a prompt reaction to the accession of far-right politicians to ministerial roles for the first time in Dutch history.
So as the Netherlands become another case of the far-right accessing power we ask: what is on its agenda now that it is in coalition with the moderate right? And how is it going to navigate the reality and responsibility of actually governing?

Even the ruling Conservative Party have started conceding defeat a day before the UK general election in which the Labour Party are widely predicted to win.
But whether it gains the biggest majority in British political history as one government minister claimed this morning remains to be seen.

Make Europe Great Again.
That’s the slogan of the Hungarian government for their presidency of the Council of the European Union, which they take over this week.
As one of their first actions, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is in Kyiv today, marking his first visit since the start of Russia’s 2022 war on Ukraine.
This surprise visit comes amid concerns across the EU regarding Hungary’s six-month presidency, given Orban’s undemocratic, authoritarian, and Russia-friendly politics.
So, what can we expect of Hungary’s presidency?
And how might the tensions between Orbán and Brussels play out?

Since May, pro-independence protests have rocked France’s overseas territory of New Caledonia. With a storied history of resistance and activism, the indigenous Kanak people are fighting to have their voices heard by politicians thousands of kilometres away in mainland France.
Last weekend, in the leadup to the French snap elections, the government imposed a ban on gatherings and extended the curfew that the islands have been under since the beginning of the unrest.
But what’s been happening in New Caledonia in the past months?
And what does this situation reveal about the French government's ability and willingness to address its colonial history?
