New significant blazes are actively being battled in Serbia’s Deliblatska Pescara and Bosnia’s Konjic area, while Switzerland deployed its army to airlift 170,000 liters of water to combat severe drought conditions.

Economically, major shifts are underway, notably in Hungary where inflation has plummeted to a ten-year low, contrasting with France where unemployment has risen for the sixth consecutive quarter to 8.3%. Stockholm is also experiencing an economic downturn with a lower stock market and dropping apartment prices. Allegations of corruption and misconduct continue to surface, including new property fraud claims against lawmakers in Latvia, a multi-million euro deal involving a key figure in Slovenia's 'Litijska affair,' and an investigation into a South Ossetian representative's entry into Moldova. The Catholic Church in Croatia is confronting potentially severe child abuse allegations within seminaries, while Slovakia's Interior Ministry is investigating the origins of new radar systems amid concerns of Russian provenance.
