Last update: 8 hours agoRiver Restoration in North Macedonia: A massive wartime concrete barrier on the Pčinja River in Kumanovo was demolished in late 2025, reopening the waterway after more than 70 years and helping fish and local ecosystems; it was the first large-scale removal of its type in the country. European Health-Linked Environment Gains: The move is part of a wider European record: 602 obsolete river barriers (dams, weirs, culverts, sluices) were removed across Europe in 2025, reconnecting about 3,740 km of rivers and improving habitat conditions. Migration & Health Risks: Spanish police, with Europol and Serbian partners, dismantled a network allegedly smuggling Cuban nationals into Spain via the Western Balkans; investigators say migrants traveled through North Macedonia and were offered “travel bundles” including medical insurance, while the group allegedly instructed people on how to regularize status and seek international protection. Policy & Peace Governance: A parliamentary speaker urged stronger legislative action to keep peace on the agenda, warning that wars begin before fighting through normalized hatred and abandoned dialogue.
