Greece has been honored at the
European Heritage Awards 2021, the EU intiative for cultural heritage organized by the European Commission and Europa Nostra, for the restoration project of the landmark
Plaka Bridge in Epirus.
The Plaka Bridge is a single arched stone-bridge, the largest and most impressive of its kind in Epirus. In February 2015, during a heavy storm that caused the river to overflow, a significant part of the main arch and the east pier of the bridge collapsed.

Clothing, footwear and handbags are Myanmar s second largest export sector
This week s military coup in Myanmar puts foreign investment at risk, poses the threat of trade sanctions, and may prompt some clothing companies to sever their sourcing ties with the country.
Following weeks of worsening political tensions in Myanmar following disputed elections in November 2020, the Southeast Asian country s military seized power on Monday (1 February), just hours before the first sitting of the new parliament.
Claiming the results were marred by widespread voting irregularities and electoral fraud, the military s proxy party, the Union Solidarity and Prosperity Party (USDP), attracted little support. Instead, the National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung San Suu Kyi, secured a landslide in the seats available to contest.
