🔍 What was mentioned in this window in only one place
Three things that were barely mentioned in major European newsrooms, though they should have been.Albania is on the 85th day of uninterrupted protests. The demands have meanwhile shifted from Rama’s resignation to calls for his arrest as well as the arrest of Sali Berisha; at the same time, the twenty-fourth day of protest against the territorial reform in Divjake is under way. This is a European Union candidate country, and in our window only two Albanian newsrooms wrote about it. It should be added that both are domestic and have their own political leaning, so the picture is necessarily incomplete.
Pan-European rules on product repair came into force today and were noted by only one newsroom in the entire window, Ireland’s RTÉ. Switzerland’s NZZ, meanwhile, describes the other side of the same coin: airline Swiss is warning of long waits during the autumn holidays because of the Union’s new entry-exit system. Two regulatory changes that people will feel in their wallets and at the airport.
Russia bought petrol in Turkey for the first time. The country with the largest refining complex in the region is importing fuel, and the first shipment is due to arrive by the end of the month. Ukrainian media read it as a consequence of their own strikes on refineries, Hungarian media as an energy story. The Russian fuel crisis itself is well mapped in Central Europe — what is new is the Turkish branch.
