Ukraine. He said that the unity of the EU is its strength, while cracks in the Kremlin's framework are becoming visible in Russia. He said the European Union had reacted quickly and unitedly in this critical situation, which sent an important signal. The EU has stood by Ukraine's side for more than 500 days.

.In addition to the focus on the east, the southeast must not be neglected, said Foreign Minister Schallenberg. The Western Balkans must not be left behind while Ukraine makes progress, he said. Austria would continue to play a leading role and stand up for the countries of the Western Balkans. This, he said, was in Austria's very own interest.

The Foreign Minister stressed the importance of a reliable partnership with the countries of the Western Balkans. As part of the "Friends of the Western Balkans" group initiated by Austria, their counterparts from Italy, Croatia and Slovenia agreed with Foreign Minister Schallenberg. It is important to create concrete, credible, and realistic perspectives for the Western Balkans, he said, and this is above all in line with the classic line of Austrian foreign policy with its focus on the Western Balkans.

Closer cooperation on migration

The foreign ministers of Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia announced yesterday at a meeting in Ancona, as part of the cooperation between the countries of the northern Adriatic, that they will work more closely together in the future in the fight against illegal migration.

As part of this cooperation, the countries plan to conduct a joint search and rescue exercise in the Adriatic in the fall. This is intended to prevent refugee tragedies. At a press conference with her counterparts Antonio Tajani of Italy and Gordan Grlic Radman of Croatia, Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon stressed that the sea should not be a graveyard and that they want to take a humanitarian approach in the fight against irregular migration.

The increase in migration flows along the Balkan route is a concern for the ministers, and they believe that the fight against smugglers requires a joint European effort, Fajon said.

Austria's Foreign Minister Schallenberg stressed the importance of neighborhood and regional cooperation. Austria is strongly engaged in various regional cooperation formats such as the Slavkov-3 or Central-5 format. He stressed that only joint action can overcome current challenges such as the Russian war of aggression against

Trump wants you to help prevent a rigged election

Image
Donald Trump is imploring fans to get to the polls on Election Day — to keep an eye on other voters. “Help me stop Crooked Hillary from rigging this election!” he urged followers in a new page on the Trump-Pence campaign site. Those who sign up receive an e-mail from the campaign promising, “We are going to do everything we are legally allowed to do” to keep the vote on the up-and-up. The effort to recruit poll watchers began Friday after the GOP nominee warned of Democratic vote tampering, telling a Pennsylvania rally, “The only way they can beat [us] . . . is if in certain sections of the state they cheat.” Trump’s effort drew heated backlash from opponents on social media, who saw it as an attempt at voter suppression.

This, just weeks after language buried deep in the omnibus spending bill increased visas for working-class immigrants. And as immigration has become a bitter issue on the presidential campaign trail. On gun control, word is that an executive order to expand background checks on certain gun sales will come this week. Look: This issue’s been before Congress for at least two years — and gone nowhere. Worse, Obama’s c...
