The day the world stood still: 23 years since the horrific attack on the Twin Towers

Today marks 23 years since the terrorist attack on the United States of America (US) on September 11, 2001 - one of the most traumatic events of the century, which killed 2,977 people and all 19 hijackers.

 Two hijacked planes then hit the "twin" towers of the World Trade Center in New York, as well as the Pentagon complex in Washington. A plane crashed in Pennsylvania.

A direct consequence of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 was the decision of the White House headed by George Bush to declare war on terrorism in the world, which undoubtedly essentially determined the tendencies in international relations from the first decades of the 21st century.

In the spring of 2011, US Army commandos raided a compound in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden, accused of terrorist attacks on the United States, was hiding and killed him. The then US President Barack Obama informed about the liquidation.

In January 2013, a military court judge at the US military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, rejected a request to publicly televise the trial of five people accused of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

A memorial to the victims was erected on the site of the towers in New York, and the new World Trade Center was built.

From November 10th, new rules for entry into the European Union, from next year an online application will also be required

New rules for entering the European Union for citizens from visa-free countries, including Macedonia. From November 10, there will be increased checks at entry and exit and biometric scanning, and from the middle of next year, the application of ETIAS, the new security mechanism of the Schengen zone, will fully begin.

The system will collect and check data on traveling passengers in order to detect potential security risks.

This means that it will be necessary to apply online, at least a month before the trip. Although it is expected to wait from a few minutes to four days for data processing, there is a possibility that the system will detect additional checks and more information will be requested from travelers, even being invited to a conversation at the Embassy of the country they want to travel to.

When applying, travelers will pay a fee of 7 euros, and it will be free for people under 18 and over 70.

Once approved, it will be valid for three years or until the passport expires.

With a valid ETIAS you can enter the territory of European countries as often as you want for a short stay, up to 90 days every 180 days. However, ETIAS does not guarantee entry. The border officer will still require a passport and other documents confirming that you meet the entry requirements.

The ETIAS form will not have to be completed by persons who have a valid visa or residence permit in an EU country. The form is also not filled in by persons living near the border and possessing border passes.

According to the rules of the border crossings, a biometric check of the passenger is required, i.e. fingerprints or a photo of himself, but if you have a biometric passport, then the entry is simpler and faster. Citizens who have biometric passports do not need to go to passport control through an official if the electronic check does not show any obstacle.

The visa-free travel regime in EU member states for Macedonia was introduced in 2009, which was one of the biggest benefits of European integration, and gave the impression to citizens that they are getting closer to the European family, even though Macedonia has been at the gates of Brussels for years due to various reasons. blockages.

Russia, Ukraine and the EU: Aid to Ukrainian refugees has been reduced by the new law in Hungary, the Roma are the most vulnerable

Thousands of Ukrainian refugees could end up on the streets or be forced to return to Ukraine because of the law that came into effect in Hungary. The new regulations limit aid to Ukrainians, so only those coming from areas of Ukraine directly affected by the Russian invasion will be entitled to it.

Hungarian authorities included 13 Ukrainian regions on that list, and the government of this European Union member country will publish a new list every month. The list currently includes Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporozhye, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Chernihiv, Kiev Oblast and Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.

It is not yet known how many of the total 31,000 Ukrainian refugees in Hungary will be at risk due to the entry into force of the new laws. The most vulnerable are Roma from the western Transcarpathian region, who currently live in shelters, which will now be closed, human rights activists warn. Their position is even more complicated due to the fact that many have both Ukrainian and Hungarian citizenship. Therefore, they cannot request asylum in other EU countries.
