Five years ago 🇸🇰 journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancé Martina Kušnírová were brutally murdered. We are still waiting for justice to be served. There can be no impunity for attacks on journalists. Free & independent media are the backbone of 🇪🇺 democracy. #allforjan @EPPGroup

Montenegro’s European path is not about partial measures and voluntary choices from a given menu. An overwhelming majority of Montenegrin citizens desire a clear European course. We in the @EPPGroup and in the @Europarl_EN stand ready to support 🇲🇪’s European path.

At the opening of the #EPlenary session, @EP_President @RobertaMetsola addressed the murder of two LGBTQI community members in #Bratislava . "Matúš and Juraj should never have been a target. Their murder shows how far we need to go. I know this House will be leading that fight."

I registered for my #CovidVaccine last weekend when the #Slovak system opened up for people older than 45. Today I got my first #AstraZeneca jab, am feeling fine and most grateful to all doctors, staff and everyone else working relentlessly to help us overcome the pandemic.

If Putin wanted to split the #EU , he failed miserably. His mad escalation will only reinforce 🇪🇺 unity in support of brave 🇺🇦. It is crucial that 🇪🇺 partners in #WesternBalkans are also fully on board. Kremlin should see no chance to weaken a European front against the agressor.
