Dear colleague @FM_Szijjarto, it’s genuinely heartwarming to hear Hungary speak with such conviction about EU law, European values, and binding obligations. When those words are more than a talking point or a tweet, they are exactly what keep our region stable and secure. Decades ago, Hungarian strategic thinking supported a stronger Adriatic pipeline so Central Europe would never be trapped by a single eastern route or a single supplier’s political leverage. Long before today’s political stands, your own countrymen understood the value of an Adriatic alternative as a way out of the Russian trap. That long-standing Hungarian idea is finally meeting reality. The Adriatic pipeline is reliable, safe, cost-competitive, and it has the capacity to meet the needs of our friends in Hungary and Slovakia. It helps Europe step away from Russian energy pressure. That is what it was built for. That is what it remains. Croatia is ready to act responsibly and constructively - fully within EU and OFAC regulations - to protect supply security. The alternative exists, dependence is no longer fate. Don’t let it become your choice. P.S. As the Yes, Minister TV series puts it: “Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.” Especially when last year’s “no capacity” suddenly turns into this year’s “EU obligation.” @EU_Commission @Denys_Shmyhal @DanJoergensen @VasylKyrylych @VladaRH

O mađarskoj prijetnji i efektnom hrvatskom odgovoru: 'Ako žele rusku naftu, neka se obrate Trumpu' tportal.hr/biznis/clanak/o-m…

Trumpova izjava da su NATO-saveznici u Afganistanu bili salje od prvih linija natjerala me na razmisljanje i prisjecanje. Hrvati jesu, nastojali su biti dalje od prvih linija (mnogi drugi nisu), ali islo se i u Kandahar. Moja stara reportaza to opisuje: jutarnji.hr/naslovnica/obuci…
