British sovereign territory isn’t up for negotiation.
SHOCKING: Nigel Farage admits he would hand over the Chagos Islands.
@KemiBadenoch is clear: The Chagos Islands are British, the Falkland Islands are British. There can be no negotiation.

👏👏💙 People are beginning to realise that this is no time to gamble with their future. Government must be led by people with real experience who know what they’re doing.
Now is not the time to hand power to a party with zero experience, like Reform, or zero plans, like Labour

European Commission President @vonderleyen joined Montenegrin Prime Minister @MickeySpajic for the official inauguration of Montenegro’s National Coordination Centre during her Western Balkans tour.
The visit highlighted a concrete project on the ground as Montenegro continues integration with the European Union.
Von der Leyen and Spajić toured the project site and took part in the official opening ceremony of the new centre.
The inauguration comes at a crucial moment for Montenegro’s EU accession process, with the country described by von der Leyen as the frontrunner in the Western Balkans.
The project reflects the wider focus of the visit: reforms, institutional capacity, investment and practical preparation for future EU membership.

After five airlines (Flynas, British Airways, TUI fly, Wizz Air and SunExpress) launched flights to Montenegro🇲🇪 this summer, EasyJet @easyJet is now joining them with four new routes to Edinburgh, Birmingham, Amsterdam and Basel — making our country more accessible than ever.
Pripremamo rekordnu 2027. godinu! Snažnija povezanost sa evropskim metropolama direktno prati Crnu Goru na njenom ubrzanom putu ka članstvu u EU. 🇪🇺🇲🇪
Nakon što je ovog ljeta čak 5 avio kompanija (Flynas, British Airways, TUI fly, Wizz Air i SunExpress) uspostavilo letove prema im se i Easy Jet uvođenjem četiri nove linije do Edinburga, Birmingema, Amestardama i Bazela, čime naša zemlja postaje nikad dostupnija. ✈️
Uz odlučnost Vlade da do početka sljedeće ljetnje turističke sezone značajno unaprijedimo kapacitete naših aerodroma, ali i niz drugih mjera koje podstiču avio povezanost, reklo bi se da sezona 2027. već obećava.

@easyJet With the 🇲🇪 Government’s determination to significantly enhance airport capacity before the start of the next summer tourist season, along with a range of other measures to boost air connectivity, one could say that the 2027 season already looks promising!! 👏👏
