AGP Executive Report
Last update: 13 minutes agoSerbia & EU emergency response: The EU has dispatched helicopters and firefighters to Serbia to help battle wildfires near Deliblatska Pescara, after Belgrade activated the Civil Protection Mechanism; aid includes Black Hawk helicopters, firefighters and vehicles from Germany and Romania. Climate & agriculture pressure: Heatwaves and drought are battering European farming, with growers forced into earlier harvests and farmers reporting major crop losses and higher operating costs. Drought exposes hidden tech/history: As rivers hit record lows, Serbia and the wider region are seeing WWII-era relics resurface, including a sunken steam tugboat in the Sava and unexploded ordnance risks that complicate emergency work. Contaminants still linger: A new study finds banned chemicals from decades ago—especially PBDE flame retardants—still detected across Europe in air, water, soils and sediments, showing long-term persistence. Water as leverage in Kosovo tensions: Serbia’s talk of redirecting the Ibar River signals how critical infrastructure and natural resources are entering the political pressure toolkit.
