What Doesn't Make It Into Slovak Media
Latvia fined a person who found a hole — and a week later the driver register crashed. The whistleblower who flagged a security gap in the CSDD registry and demanded compensation for it was fined 4,290 euros. A few days later, the register was hit by a cyberattack and the investigation is now also examining the contract with the vendor. It is the most concrete European case of the question where responsible vulnerability disclosure ends and extortion begins — and there was not a word about it in Slovak media.Iceland's referendum on the European Union. Icelanders are currently deciding on the direction toward the Union — accession negotiations were frozen in 2013 and the application was never formally withdrawn. It is the only current case when a wealthy Western country is considering joining, and it relates to the security shift after 2022: Iceland has no army of its own but hosts radar stations and a base in Keflavík that it now wants to renovate.
Eightieth day of protests against Edi Rama. In an EU candidate country, street protests demanding the prime minister's resignation have been ongoing for nearly three months. However, demonstrators are also insulting the opposition — they shouted "sold-out opposition" in front of the Democratic Party headquarters — so this is not a standard conflict between government and opposition, but a crisis of the entire political representation.
Cumulative Schengen collapse. The Finnish public broadcaster Yle published an analysis of growing internal border controls on the same day the German interior minister extended controls to March 2027. Individual national decisions are covered in our reporting, their cumulative effect is not.
