It can be assumed that Orban was more than happy that the holiday pictures were “leaked” via social media so that he might appear approachable through the private shots. Apparently, the politician also urgently needed the holiday: his plans to obtain even more natural gas from Russia have recently caused a stir in the EU. During a visit to Vienna at the end of July, the head of government was greeted with protests. No wonder he needed this break. The Hungarian newspaper Blikk quoted an insider as saying: “He was tired, exhausted and needed a longer rest period.”

Slight relaxation in the drama of Dover – traffic jams between Paris and Split
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
At the Dover ferry port in southern England, the situation for travelers to France remains tense at the beginning of the school holidays. The port boss warned of waiting times of up to six hours.
However, the situation eased somewhat over the course of Saturday. The shipping companies instructed travelers to be there three to four hours before departure. The port authorities also published travel tips that were updated several times.
France, which already carries out ID checks in Dover, has denied any responsibility for the delays. There were also delays at many UK airports and on trunk roads.
Congestion hotspots Paris and Rhone Valley
Car avalanches also in the south of France, especially here on the A7 along the Rhone river south of Lyon and in the greater Paris area. Around noon, the authorities calculated nationwide traffic jams of 790 kilometers. In the Rhone Valley alone, 90 kilometers of traffic jams were measured on the A7 at the same time, in the Valence area.
rush on the Adriatic
The consequences of the high season and bed changes were also clearly noticeable on Croatian motorways and at coastal ports such as Split. Whoever arrived here and waited at the quay, at least had the traffic jams on the motorway behind them.
Jelena Ivulić from Jadrolinija ferry company in Split said: “Passengers have been arriving in waves since the early hours of the morning. There is quite a crowd at the entrance to the ferry port. For this weekend we expect over 75,000 passengers and over 15,000 vehicles. The crowd is very large, especially in the direction of Supetar on the island of Brač.”
Needle eye Gotthard
At the northern entrance to the Gotthard tunnel, traffic was also partially backed up for 15 kilometers. Travelers had to digest two to three hours of waiting before continuing on their vacation. Among them were probably travelers from Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, where holidays begin this weekend. Only schoolchildren in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg have to be patient for a few more days – otherwise the schools will be empty nationwide.

The Council of the European Union (EU) on Tuesday approved Croatia’s membership of the single European currency (euro) as of January 1, 2023.
The former Yugoslav Republic thus becomes the twentieth member of the euro zone.
In a press release, the Council of the EU indicated that Croatia has adopted the last three legal acts allowing it to join the euro zone.
“Croatia’s national currency, the kuna, will be exchanged at the rate of 7.5345 kuna to 1 euro,” the EU Council statement said, adding that this is one of the measures agreed with Zagreb.
On this occasion, the Czech Finance Minister, Zbynek Stanjura, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Council, congratulated his Croatian counterpart, Zdravko Maric, declaring that “the adoption of the euro is not a race, but a responsible political decision.
During the signing ceremony in front of the press in Brussels, Stanjura, affirmed: “Croatia has successfully fulfilled all the required economic criteria and will pay in euros from January 1, 2023”.
The euro zone is made up of 19 countries, which share a single currency, namely: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia and Slovenia.
