In Kikinda, Serbia, a significant number of rooks and jackdaws have been found dead, suspected to be poisoned, posing a threat to the local ecosystem and the much-loved long-eared owls.

Croatia, the euro and a coffee controversy - but is it all just froth?
Croatia adopted the euro on January 1, 2023, leading to public concern over perceived price hikes in cafes and other businesses. The government intervened, warning against unjustified price increases and enforcing price levels from December 31, 2022. State inspectors took action against nearly 200 retailers. Despite consumer worries, the National Bank Governor, Boris Vujcic, believes euro adoption has protected Croatia from severe inflation. The euro adoption, along with Schengen Area membership, is expected to boost tourism, as noted by Dubravko Miholic of the Croatian National Tourist Board. Prices must still be displayed in the former currency, the kuna, until the end of the year to reassure consumers.
