This was a particularly enjoyable episode of Monocle on Sunday. I ended up doing a live walk-and-talk through the Ljubljana's Sunday market, while failing to find adequate words to describe wooden chopping boards. From about the halfway point in the show.

Why would Serbia's government want to associate its country with war criminal Mladic? The Hague tribunal always made it clear that individuals were tried and convicted - not states or peoples. Sadly, glorifying criminals is not unique to Serbia.
ALT Ratko Mladic, in uniform, in the centre of three men.

Why are foreign correspondents important? I explain for Monocle. Take the so-called "sniper tourism" story in Bosnia. A tale with elements of Squid Game that has been going around the world since last November. The major problem: there is no evidence. Link below.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Trieste-Belgrade railway revival happened? Italy and Serbia affirmed their commitment last week. And other EU and regional bodies are on board. Hopefully the rest of us will be as well, come 2029. Me for @Monocle_Radio's The Globalist.

Hey, @WeTransfer - we need to talk. Your new plans are a slap in the face to those of us who've been paying for the Pro plan for years. Double the charge to keep the same level of service - or 2/3 of current price for premium-mediocre? Not cool.
