Analysis with Ivo Rangelović
The terrorist attack in Moscow, the increased security in European countries, the Union between the wishes to fight climate change and the dissatisfaction of farmers and the European elections are in the focus of the conversation with political analyst Ivo Rangelovic. The terrorist attack caused even greater internal problems for Putin and therefore he needed an alibi and pointing the finger at Ukraine, but one day he would have to explain it to the citizens. This is one of the conclusions of the conversation. Regarding the European Union's rift between climate and agricultural policies, Rangelovic believes that the Union will have to give in and protect farmers.
Shortly, in Labyrinth, we also convey a small part of the online press conference with foreign journalists of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba.

After Albania resolved its bilateral disputes, the fight against corruption is the last step towards the EU
The arrest of the ex-President Meta, the migrant camps and the EU path of Albania in the focus of this Labyrinth.
Albania started a fierce fight against corruption - this is how Albanian citizens see the arrest of the former President, Ilir Meta. With colleague Arber Hitaj from Report TV from Tirana, we discuss the arrest and trust in the Special Prosecutor's Office. Topics of conversation were the migrant camp, as well as European integration, that is, the unblocked road for Albania and the Balkan tour of the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, which started right from Tirana.
After Tirana, Von der Leyen visited Skopje. From the Government, she assured the citizens that expansion remains the focus of the European agenda. Neither the President Von der Leyen, nor Prime Minister Mickoski gave a concrete answer to the question of whether the proposal for delayed implementation of the possible constitutional amendments is acceptable to the EU.
