Reporting by Jalyssa Dugrot from the USA and an interview with the leader of the New Democratic Party, Miloš Jovanović.
It's been 100 days since Trump took office, and he's already facing protests across America. Increased tariffs on a wide range of countries, controversial immigration policies and an inability to end the war in Ukraine are some of the policies that have marked the first 100 days of Trump's presidency. Tariffs on neighboring Canada have brought down Trudeau's government, and Canadians have elected former Federal Reserve Governor Mark Carney as their new prime minister to deal with the economic crisis. We talk to Florida-based reporter Jalyssa Dugrot about these topics.
In this episode, we also share an interview with the leader of the New Democratic Party of Serbia, Miloš Jovanović, which we conducted at the protests in Niš. Jovanović is also a member of the Serbian Parliament and a supporter of the protests. We discussed the current situation in Serbia, possible solutions for how to achieve fair elections, and potential coalitions in the next election cycle.

Analysis of Macedonian diplomacy, Callings from Georgia and Ukraine on the situation with the protests and the war.
The first guest in this edition of Labyrinth is the former Ambassador of Macedonia to Sweden and Romania, Tihomir Ilievski. We talked about the oath taken by the new President and the reactions it caused among our neighbors. Despite the reactions and difficulties in bilateral relations, the diplomat is still optimistic about the European integration of Macedonia, as well as about the normalization of relations in the entire Balkans.
In Georgia, massive civil protests are taking place over the law on "foreign agents" which moves the country away from the European path, but also seriously threatens the livelihood and freedom of Georgian citizens. From Tbilisi, we were joined by Ekaterine Basilaia - director of the Center for Media and Social Research of Georgia, who explained in more detail what this law is and why so many people took to the streets. We discussed the use of excessive force by the police in arresting peaceful protesters and the legal fight to protect those detained.
In Labyrinth, we also included the volunteer in the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, Volodymyr Sapekhin. Volodymyr has been going to the fronts and back for more than two years. We talked about the current situation on the fronts, about the progress of Russian forces in the Kharkiv region, but also about his personal feelings about the two realities he lives in.
