SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — For Dejan Milojević, the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks stood united on one sideline near their team benches and listened as the Serbian national anthem played in his honor. Golden State returned to the court for the first time since losing its beloved assistant coach last week in Salt Lake City. Two members of the Hawks were right next to Warriors coach Steve Kerr as he spoke of Milojević's profound impact on every person he encountered. Hawks assistant coach Igor Kokoskov was the Serbian national team coach and hired Milojević onto his staff. Obviously different from the Warriors team and all of their players, coaches, and their organization but, being Serbian there’s a unique connection that those guys have in this instance.”___

United Nations CNN —When Jacinda Ardern brought her baby Neve to the United Nations for the 2018 General Assembly, then-New Zealand Prime Minister became an emblematic figure of modern women in politics. But women attending the annual top rendezvous of diplomacy have remained a minority, and the UN General Assembly this year is no different. “This perpetuates the cycle,” Susana Malcorra, a former foreign minister of Argentina and president of Global Women Leaders Voices, said. Of course, not all the women leaders attending UNGA are on the far side of the political spectrum. It was Čaputová’s last General Assembly as president of her country, as she announced a few months ago she won’t seek reelection in 2024 for personal reasons.

LJUBLJANA, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Slovenians were voting on Sunday in a presidential election runoff, with former TV presenter Natasa Pirc Musar hoping to beat right-wing politician Andze Logar and become the country's first woman president. Although the role is mostly ceremonial, the president heads the army and also nominates several top officials, including the central bank governor. An opinion poll conducted by the Ninamedia agency published in the daily Dnevnik on Friday showed Pirc Musar winning 51.2% of the votes, with Logar taking 48.8%. "I expect the next president to care about us, the citizens, to represent Slovenia in a good manner," Uros Pinter said after casting his ballot in Ljubljana. Pirc Musar, 54, a former TV presenter who is now an influential lawyer, campaigned on human rights, the rule of law and social welfare issues.

LJUBLJANA, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Polls opened in the Slovenian presidential election on Sunday with former foreign minister in the rightist government, Anze Logar, expected to lead the seven candidates after the first round of voting. Opinion polls suggest that no candidate will win the more than 50% of the votes that would secure victory after the first round. The two candidates who win most votes will face run-off in two weeks. Polling stations close at 7 p.m. (1700 GMT) and first results are expected about two hours later. "While the president’s role in Slovenia is largely ceremonial, the election result will reflect voter support for liberal pro-EU political forces in relation to populist eurosceptic parties," the Teneo consultancy said before the election.

Sursa foto: Facebook/Jurnal DOXAPercheziţii la sediul unui ziar studenţesc din Rusia; Redactorii sunt urmăriți penal și nu au voie să iasă din casăPoliţia rusă a percheziţionat miercuri redacţia ziarului studenţesc DOXA şi domiciliile a patru din redactorii săi care realizaseră o înregistrare despre represiunea împotriva susţinătorilor lui Aleksei Navalnîi, opozant aflat în închisoare. Miercuri seara, această instanţă le-a interzis să utilizeze internetul timp de două luni, ca parte a restricţiilor preventive din timpul anchetei, a spus DOXA. „De facto, este arest la domiciliu”, a declarat avocatul Allei Gutnikova, Dmitri Zahvatov, care a denunţat „o decizie politică”. Redacţia DOXA a afirmat că a şters deja înregistrarea în cauză după o cerere din partea „jandarmului” rus al telecomunicaţiilor Roskomnadzor. Într-un comunicat, ONG-ul Amnesty International a declarat miercuri că percheziţiile ce vizează DOXA demonstrează că libertatea presei este în prezent „la cel mai scăzut” nivel în Rusia.
