Estonia turns the page on its flirtation with the far-right EKRE
The Estonian political class and media, and many ordinary Estonians, have breathed a sigh of relief following a period in which the far-right EKRE, with its leaders’ outrageous statements, had become a source of embarrassment.
There is a tiny island in the Adriatic sea called Jabuka, which means apple in Croatian. Some might consider that a rather contradictory name for this uninhabited volcanic landmass with difficult and limited access. But to people in this region, its name is now increasingly symbolic. This little apple in the Adriatic represents hope for a healthier, blossoming Mediterranean Sea.
The almost 3000 square kilometers of the Jabuka/Pomo Pit area are a vital spawning ground for hake and langoustine. It has been protected from overfishing since 2017 when scientists, fishermen, NGOs and the Croatian and Italian authorities fought for a breakthrough agreement.
