French Dispatch - the recent Euroedition

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 3 Jun 2023


The recent stories highlight diplomatic efforts in Kosovo, economic developments in the Eurozone, the future of digital currency, and legal implications of state aid during the pandemic.

  1. French and German Diplomatic Efforts in Kosovo: Violent protests and riots erupted following controversial local elections in northern Kosovo. France and Germany have questioned the legitimacy of the previous elections and called for new mayoral elections in four municipalities.

  2. Eurozone Inflation Drops to 6.1%: The average inflation in the Eurozone decreased from 7% to 6.1% in May. However, the impact of this decrease on consumer prices, particularly for food and essentials, remains limited. The European Central Bank is expected to approve another rate hike to address inflation concerns.

  3. ECB Prepares to Share its Digital Euro: The European Central Bank announced the proposed design for a digital Euro to enhance the resilience and autonomy of the currency. The digital Euro aims to provide an alternative to payment processors controlled by non-European companies and offer secure and stable digital transactions.

  4. EU Court Overrules Aid to Italian Airlines: The General Court of the European Union ruled that the European Commission erroneously approved financial support to Italian airlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. The court stated that the Commission failed to justify its decision sufficiently, raising questions about state aid provided during the pandemic.
