From Total Croatia News, direct flights to Belgrade, Serbia could solve the winter connectivity problems for Dubrovnik, Croatia.  (When I left Croatia in 2007, my flight went from Dubrovnik to Vienna, Austria, where I caught my connection back to the U.S.  But then, that was during the summer of that year.)

From Free West Media, after yesterday's success, French unions announce more marches to protest against the Macron administration's pension reforms.
