Last update: 5 hours agoLjubljana Local Politics: A key referendum-driven flashpoint is still shaping the race for Ljubljana’s 15 November mayoral election: the parking referendum failed on turnout, but the near-unanimous “no” vote and the wider backlash against Zoran Janković’s traffic plan are now energising opposition slates. EU–Ukraine Security: In Kyiv for Ukraine’s Statehood Day, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met regional leaders and backed stronger defense cooperation, saying the “tide is turning” and promising new initiatives to integrate European and Ukrainian defense industries. Regional Summit Diplomacy: At the fifth Ukraine–South-East Europe Summit, participants adopted the Kyiv Declaration calling for tougher sanctions pressure on Russia and prioritising air defense and reconstruction; Serbia’s Aleksandar Vučic was the only leader who did not sign, insisting on Belgrade’s separate stance while still reaffirming support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. Defense Industry & Arms: Germany approved about €13.87bn in military export licenses in the first half of 2026, with Ukraine the top recipient; meanwhile, the EU is set to sign a major drone production deal with Ukraine. EU Payments Policy: The ECB selected 36 payment service providers for the digital euro pilot, due to start in the second half of 2027.
