🚆 Derailed

A landslide brought the Nikšić-Podgorica railway to a halt today after a train struck debris and derailed. Service on the line remains suspended while crews attempt to clear the tracks. A new draft law suggests the government wants to know exactly who is carrying what across the border, proposing fines of up to 40,000 euros for legal entities that fail to declare their cash. At the State University, the audit is more academic: only six professors now appear on the Stanford list of top researchers, a decline in international standing that the budget does not quite explain. The dream of joining the EU by 2028 is meeting the reality of the calendar and its neighbors. Vesna Pusić noted that ratification alone takes eighteen months, while Agriculture Minister Vladimir Joković suggested there are limits to how many of Croatia’s demands can be met before dignity is lost.
