BRATISLAVA — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday announced a new plan to bring the Western Balkans closer to the EU. Speaking at the GLOBSEC Bratislava Forum, the EU’s top executive said the bloc needs to do more to reach out to aspiring members in the region, unveiling a four-point blueprint to boost local growth. The Western Balkans has long been a potential expansion area for the EU, but accession efforts have become drawn out and stalled in many cases.“We finally realize that it is not enough to just wait for our friends outside the Union to move closer to us,” von der Leyen told a crowd of officials and think tankers from across the Continent. “We must also take responsibility to bring the aspiring members of our Union much closer to us.” The plan, according to von der Leyen, would include efforts to further align the Western Balkans with the EU’s single market, deepen regional economic integration, accelerate judicial ...‘Very militant’: France slams Novak Djokovic over Kosovo comment

Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic’s controversial message at the French Open, in which he said Kosovo was the “heart of Serbia,” is “clearly not appropriate,” France’s Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra said Wednesday.“It’s a very militant message, very political,” Oudéa-Castéra said in an interview with French public broadcaster France 2.“We really shouldn’t go down that road, especially given the circumstances,” the minister added, referring to recent clashes.One of the most successful athletes in tennis history with 22 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic caused an outcry on Monday after his first-round win at Roland-Garros. “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence,” Djokovic wrote in Serbian on a TV camera screen. Long-standing tensions between Serbia and Kosovo — which declared its independence in 2008 but is not recognized by Belgrade — have resurfaced in recent days, after clashes between p...WATCH: Video shows moment shots fired during shooting near Revere Beach

In their first game without Cedric Mullins, the Orioles played well enough that his absence was at its most apparent with two outs in the ninth inning.As Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez came up against closer Félix Bautista, outfielders Ryan McKenna and Austin Hays ran past each other. The Orioles’ typical left fielder, Hays had played center for the game’s first 26 outs, getting the first shot at the position after Mullins landed on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain before the game. McKenna had entered as a defensive replacement for left fielder Terrin Vavra before the inning, but as the lights flashed and the music blared for Bautista’s signature entrance at Camden Yards and the pitch clock ticked down, there was miscommunication between the outfielders and Baltimore’s bench over who would man center.There often is no question.“We’re so used to having Mullins in center field,” manager Brandon H...Jaylen Brown’s long-term future looms large as Celtics enter important summer

Jaylen Brown needed some more time. The Celtics star, understandably, was processing a lot.Moments after the Celtics’ sudden season-ending loss in Game 7 on Monday night, the biggest question of this summer was raised. About Brown’s future with the Celtics. About what he’s looking for. About his expectations for how extension talks will play out.This summer, the Celtics can offer Brown a supermax extension worth $295 million that would keep him in Boston long-term. Brown, who had just come off the floor after one of the most disappointing performances of his career, shrugged off the first question about his future.“I expected to win today and move on,” Brown said. “That’s what my focus was on and that’s what my focus has been on. We failed. I failed. It’s hard to think about anything else right now, to be honest. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”When the topic was raised again minutes later, Brown struggled to come up with an answer when asked about...Latest news
