Some countries are fairly straightforward about their requirements for citizenship through jus sanguinis. Hungary offers citizenship based on jus sanguinis with some caveats, too. “When both of my parents got their Hungarian citizenship around four years ago, it made it easier for me to get it,” said Koszorus, 41, who received his Hungarian citizenship this summer, less than a year after he started the paperwork and application process. And a private Facebook group called Dual US-Italian Citizenship has more than 70,000 members and is among many other resources available to people who think they might have a blood right path to Italian citizenship. Florida-based travel writer Terry Ward lives in Tampa and has the blood right to Italian citizenship through her paternal great-great-grandfather.

Budapest CNN —For most of the last century, the story of the Gresham Palace closely mirrored that of the city in which it was built. This summer, the building – one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau design in Budapest – is celebrating two decades in its most recent incarnation, as the Four Seasons Gresham Palace, a luxury hotel with panoramic views of the mighty Danube river. Four Seasons Gresham Palace“Gresham Palace and its coffee house were famous among artists and collectors,” says Laszlovszky. “The Gresham Palace has been born again in wonderful unity, serving as a crown jewel of outstanding beauty that complements our magnificent Chain Bridge.”‘Extraordinary history’The palace was once a hangout for Budapest's intellectuals. Four Seasons Gresham PalaceSince its reopening in 2004, the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace has provided visitors with a well-appointed sanctuary, offering 179 rooms and suites with panoramic views of the Danube or the cityscape.

Also, “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, a fat black bug on its cover. The video’s creator is 25-year-old Margarita Mouka — @aquariuscat444 on TikTok, where she frequently posts about Kafka, integrating his work, his likeness and his life story into her online persona of romantic intellectualism. “Franz Kafka becomes an unlikely HEARTTHROB on TikTok — where Gen Zers are swooning over the Czech novelist nearly 100 YEARS after his death,” ran a Daily Mail headline. On BookTok, where a flashed book jacket conveys a glimmer of a user’s inner life, a classic text can leave a durable impression. It plays like a deep cut, reaching back through time to ground a TikToker’s content in a more enduring human experience.

CNN —A portrait by Gustav Klimt that was unseen for almost a century has sold for $32 million – the bottom end of its pre-auction estimate. The sale price was less than half that fetched by another Klimt painting – “Dame mit Fächer” (Lady with a Fan) – in London last year. The last portrait completed by Klimt became the most expensive artwork ever to sell at a European auction, when it sold for a £85.3 million ($108.4 million). However, new research by the auction house suggests Justus’ wife, Lilly, hired him to paint one of their two daughters.

Now, a new route opening up fast, direct access between two European countries will spin passengers back more than a century to the times of the Habsburg empire. It is thought that this is the first train from Milan to Ljubljana since the empire was dissolved in 1918. It’s also picking up the route of a night train from Budapest to Venice, which passed through Ljubljana, but finished in 2011. Since 2018, there has been a regional train from Trieste to Ljubljana, but train staff of the two operators switch at the border at Villa Opicina station. “Trieste and Ljubljana were first connected by train in 1857, when both cities were part of the Habsburg Empire.

For example, last week it installed a floating barrier by a rocky outcrop in the South China Sea claimed by the Philippines - which Manila promptly removed. A war between the United States and China still seems unlikely - because both sides know that the economic and human costs of a clash could be catastrophic. The United States and its Western allies are also worried that China could browbeat Japan and South Korea, two nations economically important to them. Meanwhile, the United States and other allies are imposing controls on the export of technology such as advanced chips to the People’s Republic. What’s more, the United States is finding it hard to maintain an emollient message.

Fico previously served as Slovakia’s prime minister for more than a decade, first between 2006 and 2010 and then again from 2012 to 2018. Heger continued as a caretaker prime minister but he, too, ended up quitting in May and was replaced by a technocrat, Ludovit Odor. Eduard Heger, pictured in Tallinn, Estonia, in November 2022, resigned as caretaker prime minister in May. In the Czech Republic, which used to form one country with Slovakia, 71% of people blame Russia for the war. “The government took a very quick and firm decision — and I’d say in doing so found itself on the right side of the history — to support Ukraine,” he said.

CNN —Carved through and framed by the mighty River Danube, Budapest and its beautiful skyline make it one of Europe’s finest and most compelling cities. The Ruin Bar District has seen its success spread too, with other bars appearing in ruined buildings across the city. CNNIt’s a sobering fact that, just 35 years ago, Budapest had a much different feel compared with its current vibrant air. That’s not to say, however, that the country, and Budapest in particular, does not have a strong independent streak.

Grocery prices in Europe have been on the rise. Britain — where food inflation has reached 45-year highs — is discussing a similar move. In comparison, U.S. food prices rose 7.7% in April from a year earlier, 8.2% in Japan and 9.1% in Canada. Such controls could actually make food inflation worse by increasing demand from shoppers but discouraging new supply, he said. "The current food price shock does not warrant such intervention," Shearing said.

Weird and wonderful trains that break the rules

Here’s a selection of unusual railways that break the rules in order to reach the places other trains can’t roll. The single rails carrying the trains are supported by a series of 486 steel portals weighing almost 20,000 tonnes in total. It is the oldest continuously operating pier railway in the world. Six miles of the route are along a rural railway line, with the rest in bus mode.

But history is complicated on the shores of Lake Garda, a 143-square-mile body of water just west of Verona. In many ways, Garda—its crisp blue water reflecting the nearby Alps—feels like a curiously liminal space. Its northern shores were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after World War I; even today, German-language street-signs dot the villages along its northern coast. Traces of Venetian architecture abound, remnants of the Venetian Empire’s conquering of several lakeside strongholds. On the southern shore, the beautiful town of Sermione boasts the extant grounds of a Roman villa named after the poet Catullus.
The Prince With No Throne

VIENNA — Ferdinand Habsburg-Lothringen sometimes goes for runs around the 1,441-room Schönbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the Habsburg rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He loves taking in the manicured gardens, the mazes, one of the world’s oldest zoos still in existence, and one of the largest Baroque orangeries in the world. But once in a while things can feel a little weird in a way that is unique to Mr. Habsburg. “There is a bedroom inside the palace that would have been mine if I was crown prince,” he said, noting that he knows which one it is. Before him, other ancestors ruled for more than 600 years, presiding over a vast global empire.
A luxury resort in Montenegro opened to the public in April, starting at 500 euros a night. The Mamula Island Hotel used to be a former concentration camp in World War II. The new luxury hotel has angered some locals for converting the Austro-Hungarian fortress. But the remote hotel on Mamula Island has a dark history — it used to be an Italian concentration camp during World War II. But the government awarded the Swiss-Egyptian developer Orascom a 49-year lease, saying there were limited options for the future of the fort.

Allies have been supplying Kyiv with weapons and military equipment since Russia invaded its neighbour on Feb. 24, depleting their own inventories along the way. HISTORIC INDUSTRYEastern Europe's arms industry dates back to the 19th Century, when Czech Emil Skoda began manufacturing weapons for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They said Ukraine had acquired weapons and equipment via donations from governments and direct commercial contracts between Kyiv and the manufacturers. "At the same time it's an opportunity for them to build up their military production industry." Czech arms exports this year will be the highest since 1989, he said, with many companies in the sector adding jobs and capacity.
Cu cei 2857 km lungime, Dunărea este al doilea fluviu al Europei, după Volga, și al treilea ca importanță economică, după Rin și Volga. Prima reglementare juridică internațională privind navigarea pe Dunăre poate fi considerată Tratatul de la Belgrad semnat între Austro-Ungaria și Turcia, tratat care permitea austriecilor navigarea pe cursul mediu și inferior al fluviului, aflat pe atunci sub control otoman. Actualmente, Dunărea este un important drum fluvial internațional, curgând prin 10 țări (Germania, Austria, Slovacia, Ungaria, Croația, Serbia, România, Bulgaria, Republica Moldova, Ucraina) și are afluenți din alte șapte țări. Trece prin patru capitale de stat: Viena, Bratislava, Budapesta și Belgrad. Astfel, Ziua Dunării este sărbătoarea care nu doar amintește despre valoarea culturală și comercială a fluviului, dar și atenționează asupra problemelor de mediu și necesitatea de protecției apelor.

Așezarea a fost înteeiată de coloniștii germani, invitați în Transilvania de regele Geza al II-lea. După cucerirea romană a Daciei, Apoulonul a fost transformat în castru roman, numit Apulum. Treptat, Alba Iulia a devenit unul dintre cele mai importante centre urbane din Regatul Ungariei. Ulterior, la 1 noiembrie 1599, Mihai Viteazul a intrat în Alba Iulia și a înfăptuit prima unire politică a celor trei principate românești.

Preşedintele SUA, Joe Biden, a recunoscut oficial genocidul armean, devenind primul preşedinte al Statelor Unite care a calificat moartea a 1,5 milioane de armeni masacraţi de Imperiul Otoman în 1915, relatează AFP. Imediat după difuzarea comunicatului de presă al Casei Albe, Turcia a respins complet decizia Statelor Unite, despre care afirmă că se bazează "doar pe populism". De cealaltă parte, premierul Armeniei, Nikol Paşinian, a salutat decizia istorică a preşedintelui american. Genocidul armean este recunoscut de aproximativ treizeci de ţări şi de comunitatea istoricilor. Congresul SUA a recunoscut genocidul armean în decembrie 2019 printr-un vot simbolic, un text susţinut de senatorii ambelor părţi, dar care a fost blocat de mai multe ori de către susţinătorii republicani ai fostului preşedinte Donald Trump.

Parchetul austriac a precizat că unul dintre suspecţi este un cetăţean austriac de origine afgană, al cărui ADN a fost descoperit pe arma folosită de jihadistul care a ucis patru oameni pe 2 noiembrie în capitala Austriei. ''Urme ale ADN-ului acestei persoane au fost găsite pe armă'', a declarat o purtătoare de cuvânt a Parchetului austriac.
