Am 8. Dezember 2024 wurde in Syrien das Assad-Regime durch eine von Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) angeführte Rebellenallianz gestürzt. Die Übergangsregierung unter Ahmad al-Sharaa steht nun vor immensen Herausforderungen – wirtschaftlich, ge­sellschaftlich und politisch. Noch hat sie auch nicht die Kontrolle über das gesamte Territorium des Landes errungen; jihadistische Gruppierungen wie der sogenannte Islamische Staat (IS) bleiben eine Bedrohung. Das Vorgehen einiger regionaler und internationaler Akteure birgt die Gefahr, Syrien zu destabilisieren bzw. den Übergangsprozess zu sabotieren. Auf jeden Fall wird durch diese externen Kräfte der Handlungsspielraum der neuen Machthaber abgesteckt. Die Interimsregierung hat Maßnahmen zur Auflösung der Milizen eingeleitet, Gespräche mit den kurdisch domi­nierten Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) über deren Eingliederung in die neue syrische Armee begonnen und einen politischen Übergang angestoßen. Deutschland und seine Partner in der EU sollten eine inklusive politische Transition unterstützen und dazu beitragen, durch Sanktionserleichterungen den Weg für einen umfassen­den Wiederaufbau freizumachen. Dabei gilt es auch, geopolitische Spannungen um Syrien zu entschärfen, anstatt sie zu verstärken.

Im Juli 2024 vereinbarten die Europäische Union (EU) und die serbische Regierung eine strategische Partnerschaft im Rohstoffsektor. Für die EU ist diese Kooperation ein wichtiger Schritt zur Diversifizierung ihrer Lieferketten und zur Stärkung wirt­schaftlicher Partnerschaften in ihrer Nachbarschaft. Serbiens Präsident Aleksandar Vučić hat ein geopolitisches Interesse an der Kooperation, die er auch dazu nutzen will, seine bereits umfassende Machtstellung im Inland noch auszubauen. Die Unterzeichnung der Vereinbarung hat in Serbien massive Proteste ausgelöst. Kritiker:innen befürchten, die Umsetzung der Rohstoffpartnerschaft könne die ohnehin fragilen rechtsstaatlichen Strukturen weiter untergraben, ebenso wie die Einhaltung ökologischer und sozialer Standards. Der Fall Serbien zeigt, dass die EU in einem geopolitisch aufgeladenen Kontext die autoritäre Regierung des Landes nur begrenzt beeinflussen kann. Doch muss sie ihren Spielraum gezielt nutzen, um die Risiken einzudämmen.

Americas The US Navy Reserve’s KC-130T Hercules fleet, upgraded with the NP2000 propeller system, is now cleared to aerially refuel a significantly wider range of aircraft across the carrier airwing following envelope expansion testing at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) which concluded in early 2025. Originally, the KC-130T aircraft were primarily used for cargo missions. However, recognising the increasing need to refuel more assets in the air, the Navy initiated a project to regain aerial refuelling capabilities across the fleet. Kira AAR Logistics Services JV LLC has been awarded a contract worth up to $98 million to provide in-flight training for Naval Aviators on the E-6B Mercury aircraft. The work will be done in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and is expected to be completed by March 2027. This training supports the Navy’s efforts to maintain pilot proficiency and is crucial for the E-6B’s strategic communications and airborne command post missions. The contract was not competitively bid, and funds will be allocated as specific orders are issued.

As part of the CERV project (Re)uniting the East and West: Reflections on the 2004 EU Enlargement (REWEU), the South-East Europe Programme team contributed to the creation of an infographics booklet examining the impact of the 2004 EU enlargement on Greece. This visually engaging, data-driven resource explores how this historic milestone shaped both the newly acceding countries and the European Union as a whole.

Featuring infographics, charts, and graphics, the booklet presents complex information in a clear and accessible format, making it easier to understand the economic, political, and social transformations that followed the enlargement. Designed to reach beyond policymakers and experts, it seeks to engage citizens who are often left out of EU discussions by using visuals and concise narratives to illustrate key trends, challenges, and achievements. Through a blend of data and storytelling, it offers a thought-provoking reflection on the enduring impact of the EU’s largest expansion and its continued significance for Europe today.

Panagiotis Paschalidis, Research Fellow at ELIAMEP’s South-East Europe Programme, authored an analysis titled “The evolution of the Greek narratives on the ‘big bang enlargement’ from 2004 until today: the views of the political actors and the media” in the framework of the project (Re)uniting the East and West: Reflections on the 2004 EU enlargement (REWEU).

The project marks the 20th anniversary of the 2004 EU enlargement by examining its historical impact, benefits, and challenges through public events, research, exhibitions, and media outreach. Funded by the EU under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme, it focuses on eight selected countries—four older and four newer EU members—contributing to contemporary EU memory politics.

In his analysis, Panagiotis Paschalidis examines the 2004 EU enlargement as a transformative event that transcended political, social, economic, and cultural boundaries at both national and international levels. Based on interviews he conducted with key politicians involved in decision-making at the time, as well as journalists who extensively covered the topic, he highlights how such events give rise to multiple interpretations and narratives shaped by diverse perspectives and thematic correlations. Focusing on historical narratives, which intertwine objective facts with subjective understandings, he explores how Greece has perceived and interpreted the 2004 enlargement from its inception to the present day. His analysis underscores the evolving nature of these narratives and their role in shaping collective memory and public discourse.

Americas The US military is looking for new ways to navigate without using GPS. A company called Xona might have a good solution. Xona just got $4.6 million from the Air Force to show how their navigation system could help the military. Xona’s system, called PULSAR, uses small satellites that orbit close to Earth. It can help with navigation when GPS doesn’t work or when someone is trying to block GPS signals. Saab has secured a contract to equip the Colombian Navy’s new frigate with advanced systems.
