Belgrade BOILS! Mass PROTESTS in Serbia | Demands of Prez Vucic’s Resignation Amid Growing Unrest

Nearly 50 people were detained and dozens injured as rival groups clashed during anti-government protests in Serbia. Violence erupted in Novi Sad when ruling party supporters attacked demonstrators with flares, rocks, and bottles, while an army officer fired in the air. Clashes were reported in 90 locations nationwide, with riot police using tear gas in Belgrade. Protests, ongoing since November after a deadly train station collapse, demand early elections. President Aleksandar Vučić resists, balancing EU membership aspirations with close ties to Russia and China. #Serbia #NoviSad #Belgrade #Vucic #SerbiaProtests #EU #Russia #China #BreakingNews #PoliticalUnrest #Protests #Demonstrations #StudentProtests #Violence #SerbiaNews #EuropeNews #EUAccession #ProtestClashes #RiotPolice #TearGas #PoliticalCrisis #Balkans #SerbiaPolitics #ProtestUpdate #SerbiaUnrest Also Read Understanding Alpha-gal Syndrome: Red Meat Allergy Linked To Tick Bites :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/alpha-gal-syndrome-red-meat-allergy-awareness-011-7822181.html?ref=DMDesc Serbia's Riot Police Deploy Tear Gas at Protesters Demanding Early Elections in Belgrade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/serbia-riot-police-tear-gas-anti-government-protesters-011-7786113.html?ref=DMDesc Serbian Students Rally Against Pro-Government Media Amid Ongoing Anti-Corruption Protests :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/protesting-students-serbia-rally-outside-media-outlet-011-4109209.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.152~GR.122~ED.102~

Hunting microplastics: French scientists sound the alarm on plastic pollution We eat, breathe and drink them, but there is still much we don’t know. We’re talking about microplastics.

EU President To Be Impeached? Macron, Orban EXPLODES Over EU-U.S Trade Deal | Slams Von Der Leyen

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared. Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically. #TrumpVsEU #EUTradeDeal #VonDerLeyen #TrumpTariffs #UkraineAid #USTroopsEurope #MacronSlamsEU #BrusselsBacklash #USvsEU #TradeUltimatum #EUSurrender #EuropeanUnion #TrumpDeal #EnergyImports #EUUSRelations #EUDefenseSpending #PostureReview #Geopolitics #VonDerLeyenUnderFire #SundayTimesReport ~ED.102~HT.408~

Hungary’s WW3 Warning: Ukraine’s EU Membership ‘Will DRAG’ Hungary Into Battlefield | Ukraine War

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences. Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace? #UkraineEU #OrbanWarning #HungaryUkraine #EUMembershipCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #EUExpansion #GeopoliticalRisk #EasternEuropeConflict #UkraineNews #HungaryNews #EUvsRussia #NATOExpansion #EuropeanUnion #BrusselsVsBudapest #HungarianReferendum #UkraineBorderCrisis #PolandUkraineTensions #SlovakiaOpposesUkraine #StopUkraineEU #RegionalWarThreat ~HT.318~

‘China's links with Russia…’ EU Chief’s SHOCKING Ultimatum To China Amid EU-China Summit | EU-China

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations. Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen. #ChinaEU #BeijingSummit #ChinaRussiaTies #UkraineWar #TradeTensions #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #XiJinping #Geopolitics #RareEarths #ClimateTalks #EUChinaSummit #EUChinaRelations #MultipolarWorld #GlobalDiplomacy #TradeImbalance #GreenEnergy #Brussels #WesternSanctions #GlobalStability #PeaceTalks ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
