Das millionenschwere „Welcome Center“ im Bundesland des schleswig-holsteinischen Verbots-Ministers Daniel Günther ist unfähig, auch nur eine einzige brauchbare Zahl zu nennen, wie viele ausländische Fachkräfte es im letzten Jahr tatsächlich vermittelt hat. Die offizielle, dreiste Begründung: Es gebe schlicht keine validen Zahlen.
Schleswig-Holstein pumpt Millionen in das Welcome Center in Kiel, das Ende 2023 dem Wahlvolk als zentrale Anlaufstelle für ausländische Arbeitskräfte und Unternehmen verkauft wurde. Mit jährlichen Kosten von rund zwei Millionen Euro – bis 2028 werden es fast 13 Millionen aus Landesmitteln sein- und derzeit 19 Mitarbeitern aus Wirtschaftsförderung, Agentur für Arbeit und Landesamt für Zuwanderung soll es Visa, Anerkennungen und Integration nur so hageln.
Die Bilanz nach über zwei Jahren ist verheerend: Im ersten vollen Jahr 2024 nur fünf!!!! nachweisbare Vermittlungen von Fachkräften an Unternehmen. Für 2025 liegen Zahlen zu 1041 Erstberatungen für internationale Bewerber (166 Folgegespräche) und 305 für Firmen (119 Folgegespräche) vor – doch zu tatsächlichen Jobs? Hierzu gibt es – Achtung!!! – Keine verlässlichen Daten!!!
Zuständig für diesen Wahnsinn ist CDU-Arbeitsminister Claus Ruhe Madsen – zugleich Wirtschafts-, Verkehrs-, Arbeits-, Technologie- und Tourismusminister. Madsen trieb die Eröffnung 2023 voran, pries das Center als Meilenstein und betonte die Notwendigkeit von Zuwanderung aus EU- und Drittstaaten. Auf Anfrage der Schleswig-Holsteinischen Zeitung (shz) verwies er jedoch lapidar auf die Agentur für Arbeit. Diese wiederum teilte mit, dass keine Erkenntnisse darüber vorliegen, „ob die Personen nach vorheriger Beratung oder Begleitung durch das Welcome Center eine Arbeit aufgenommen oder eine Ausbildung begonnen haben. Dieses Merkmal wird statistisch nicht erfasst.“
Noch brisanter wird es, wenn man sich die personelle Verquickungen dieses Millionen-Steuergeld-Grabes ansieht: Das Projekt läuft unter der Wirtschaftsförderung und Technologietransfer Schleswig-Holstein GmbH (WTSH) und wurde bis Ende 2025 von Hinrich Habeck geleitet. Das wiederum ist der Bruder des grünen Deutschlandvernichters und Ex-Bundeswirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck. Auch Hinrich Habecks Bilanz war verheerend: Auch er konnte nur fünf Vermittlungen vorweisen.
Sieht man sich die politische Verantwortlichkeit in Schleswig-Holstein an, kann man allerdings auch nichts anderes erwarten: Seit 2005 wechselten die Koalitionen in Kiel: CDU-SPD, CDU-FDP, SPD-Grüne-SSW, Günther I (CDU-Grüne-FDP) und seit Juni 2022 Günther II (CDU-Grüne). Gerade unter Schwarz-Grün explodieren solche Prestigeprojekte – teuer, intransparent, wirkungslos. Das Welcome Center steht für systematische Verschwendung: Hohe Summen, null Erfolge.
By Maria Guineva Bulgarian businessman Spas Roussev has purchased Vivacom, the country’s largest telecom, according to Bulgarian media reports.

Former Bulgarian finance minister Milen Velchev, who is now the representative of VTB Capital in Bulgaria, said the buyer had agreed to add the restructured debt to the bid amount, meaning the real price is actually € 730 million (US$ 776 million).
The other finalist bidder was the Greek Olympia Group of Greek businessman Panos Germanos.
According to Bulgarian Capital daily, third bidder Mark Schneider did not meet the tender requirements, though he offered € 850 million (US$ 902 million). Schneider owns the cable operator UPC.
The sale was organized after InterV, the Luxembourg-based indirect holding company of Vivacom, defaulted May 22 on VTB Capital’s bridge loan of € 150 million (US$ 164 million). The loan was secured with shares of InterV. Five months later, at the end of October, VTB announced the sale.
Tsvetan Vassilev, the majority shareholder of the collapsed Corporate Commercial Bank (CCB) had a 43 percent stake in Vivacom. Prior to its collapse, CCB was the fourth largest bank in Bulgaria. VTB had 33.33 percent and the rest belonged to a group of telecom creditors led by Michael Tennenbaum, founder of the Tennenbaum Capital Partners LLC hedge fund.
The auction was held despite a rival claim from Russian businessman Dmitry Kosarev, who says he is the actual owner of Vivacom because his company, Empreno Ventures Limited, owns 76 percent of the shares through a subsidiary. He says he will challenge the deal through legal channels.
Vassilev, who is in Belgrade, Serbia fighting extradition to Bulgaria on embezzlement charges, confirms on his own website that Kosarev is indeed the owner. According to Vassilev, the "political Mafia" in Bulgaria is trying to seize the business.
Velchev, the former finance minister, insists the stakes are still owned by Vassilev.
The transaction is said to be monitored closely by the Bulgarian Deposit Insurance Fund, as it had to repay more than 3.6 billion Bulgarian levs (€ 1.8 billion or US$ 3.8 billion) to depositors after the collapse of CCB.
The sale has not yet been officially announced. According to VTB Capital, it will name the winner once a share purchase agreement is signed.
Vivacom is a prosperous company with a healthy balance sheet. It has registered a four percent increase in revenue for the first ninth months of 2015 and has more than 3.2 million customers.
According to Bulgarian Capital daily, the auction had the sole purpose of reselling the telecom at a profit by the end of next year.
Roussev is believed to be one of the wealthiest Bulgarians and amassed his fortune shortly after the fall of the Communist regime.
He started his career as Deputy Director of the Agency for Foreign Aid, the state body that at the dawn of democracy was in charge of receiving, storing, distributing and controlling foreign governments’ humanitarian aid for Bulgaria. It was closed in 2007.
Roussev was advisor to the first democratically elected President of Bulgaria, Zhelio Zhelev, in 1991 – 1992, and later to Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the country’s last king, exiled as a child by the Communist regime, who returned to Bulgaria and served as Prime Minister in 2001 – 2005.
According to media reports, Roussev, who has been living in London since 1991, introduced Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to several Bulgarian finance professionals from the City of London who later became members of the former king’s government, including Velchev. The Bulgarian Telecommunications Company, now Vivacom, was privatized during their term in office.
Roussev, himself, had never been active in politics and never held a political office.
His business interests have always been linked to telecommunications; he is co-founder and chairman of one of the most successful Bulgarian and Eastern European IT companies, TeleLink. In recent years Telelink has won a number of public bids worth millions of Bulgarian levs.
According to the site for investigative journalism Bivol.bg, an OCCRP partner, the company provides telecommunication equipment, software, spare parts and consumables for IT infrastructure for the Sofia City Hall, the Registry Agency, the Ministry of Health, the courts and others. Its most impressive winning bid is the one for “integrated monitoring system of the Bulgarian-Turkish border,” won by a consortium of Telelink and Indra Sistemas JSC (Spain).
According to Bloomberg Business, Roussev was the driving force behind numerous privatization and acquisition deals, acting as advisor to foreign investors in Bulgaria such as Motorola, MTG (Sweden), Electrowatt (Zurich), Intralot (Greece).
In 2012, he purchased the upscale Radisson Blu hotel in downtown Sofia, and in 2013, the Sofia Hilton hotel.
In London, the businessman is also known as a philanthropist.
Roussev has also been surrounded by controversy. He referred to as the “right-wing’s oligarch,” and the “gray cardinal” in the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha government and is suspected of past connections with several figures from Bulgarian organized crime such as Ivan “the Doctor” Todorov, Vasil “the Skull” Bozhkov, and Petar “Amigos” Petrov.
After a failed attempt on the life of Todorov in April 2003, when his car exploded on a busy Sofia thoroughfare, a photograph was found among other items in the bombed vehicle.
Its publication in the media sent shockwaves across Bulgaria.
It was taken in Monaco, on Roussev’s yacht and shows Petrov, convicted of laundering € 26 million (US$ 28 million); Velchev, then-finance minister in the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha government; Miroslav Sevlievski, then energy minister; Roussev’s close business associate Lyubomir Minchev and his wife Maria Oprenova; Todorov, murdered in 2006 in Sofia; and then-transport minister Plamen Petrov, former boss of Vivacom.
A few days after the story broke, Roussev admitted he invited the people in the photograph aboard his yacht, saying he was sorry for “causing trouble for these guys, who had been attacked in a smear war.”
In 2010, in an interview for TV station bTV, Roussev also said he had arranged a meeting between Todorov and Boyko Borissov, now the Prime Minister, who was at the time chief secretary of the Bulgarian Ministry of Interior.
“This was a mistake. But I was not that close with Ivan Todorov. I can say that I know nearly everyone, but I would not consider the Doctor one of my friends,” said Roussev.
He also told the bTV viewing audience, "I can get any politician in Bulgaria on the phone.”
Roussev’s bid for the telecom, the former state-owned Bulgarian Telecommunication Company (BTK), was € 330 million (US$ 351 million).
The Nov. 20 auction, lasting close to 16 hours, was organized by Ernst & Young in London on behalf of VTB Capital, the investment-banking arm of VTB, Russia's second-largest bank.
Former Bulgarian finance minister Milen Velchev, who is now the representative of VTB Capital in Bulgaria, said the buyer had agreed to add the restructured debt to the bid amount, meaning the real price is actually € 730 million (US$ 776 million).

Dumm baut Strassen in Albanien, ohne Geologischen Untersuchungen, ohne Drainage und Beton Rüttler und Reine Deppen Betrugsform

Muajt e fundit dhjetëra rrugë në vend kanë paraqitur probleme të rënda edhe pse një pjesë e tyre nuk kanë pak muaj që janë përuruar. Problemi më i rëndë dhe më më shumë ndikim deri tani është shembja e rrugës Elbasan-Librazhd pranë fshatit Dragostunjë që ka paralizuar krejt lëvizjen drejt dhe nga qarku i Korçës.
Makinat kanë pasur vështirësit të mëdha në lëvizje, sidomos ato të tonazhit të rëndë ndërsa nuk dihet ende se kur do nisë e do përfundojë rruga alternative që u premtua nga kreu i ARRSH-së sot.

Përveç kësaj rruge, ditët e fundit ka pasur çarje asfalti pse shembje e rrëshqitje terreni në pjesën Tepelenë-Memaliaj. Asfalti është çarë në disa vende ndërsa kompania koncesionare ka hedhur bitum dhe ka vënë tabela për orientimin e drejtuesve të mjeteve.
Shembje ka pasur edhe në rrugën Boboshticë-Dardhë. Në pjesën e dëmtuar mund të lëvizet vetëm në njërën korsi.
Unaza e qytetit të Burrelit ka pësuar çarje të shumta duke u bërë e pakalueshme për makinat.
Muaj më parë rruga Korçë-Ersekë pësoi deformime të shumta e rrëshqitje dherash duke çuar në nisje të hetimeve nga ana e prokurorisë. Ajo nuk kishte pak muaj që ishtë përuruar.

Rruga Korçë-Qafë Plloçë e përuruar vetëm pak muaj më parë u bllokua dy herë brenda pak ditësh. Në të dyja rastet ajo u bë e pakalueshme për disa ditë njëherë pas rrëshqitjes së një masivi shkëmbor dhe herën tjetër nga rrëshqitja e dherave.
Rruga Lumi i Vlorës-Himarë pësoi çarje në asfalt pak kohë pasi ishte përuruar.
Tuneli i Llogarasë, i cili është një nga tunelët më të mëdhenj të rinj në vend, ka pasur raporte për probleme me rrjedhje uji dhe defekte në sistemet ndërtimore gjatë sezonit të dimrit.
Autoritetet shtetërore ia kanë lënë fajin për problemet me rrugët shiut që ka rënë në vend.

Die Achse Librazhd-Elbasan wurde aufgrund von Vorwürfen schwerer Umweltschäden und gravierender Probleme bei der Projektdurchführung gestoppt. Das Unternehmen ANK shpk, geführt von den Brüdern Ndue und Agim Kola, steht im Zentrum der Kritik. Dasselbe Unternehmen baute auch die Achse Korçë-Ersekë, die ähnliche Probleme aufwies und vor Jahren teilweise einstürzte. Gegen dieses Projekt wurde eine Strafanzeige bei der SPAK erstattet.
Die Blockade der Achse Librazhd-Elbasan hat die Regierung bloßgestellt. Edi Rama hat die Straßenbauaufträge unter vier bis fünf Personen aufgeteilt, und Diebstähle waren an der Tagesordnung. Rrok Gjoka, Salillari, Bashkim Ulaj, Artan Sako, Gjikuria und Agim Kola haben die Aufträge unter sich aufgeteilt, und es scheint, als ob niemand Wert auf Qualität legt, sondern nur darauf, wer am meisten stehlen kann. Doch während es auf vielen Streckenabschnitten Probleme gab, ist der Fall Librazhd skandalös.
Das Unternehmen, das mit dem Bau der neuen Straße beauftragt war, hat offenbar ein Umweltmassaker verursacht, und eine Lösung gestaltet sich nun äußerst schwierig. Die Ausschreibung für diesen Straßenabschnitt gewann die Firma „ANK shpk“, die von den Brüdern Ndue und Agim Kola geführt wird. „ANK“ wurde als Gewinner des Verfahrens „Ausbau der Straße Elbasan-Qafë-Thanë (Phase IV)“ mit einem Budget von 23,6 Millionen Euro bekanntgegeben.
Dieses Unternehmen hat inertes Material aus dem Flussbett des Shkumbin für den Straßenbau verwendet, wodurch sich der gesamte Hügel verschoben hat und eine äußerst gefährliche Situation entstanden ist. Ndue Kola war Mitglied der Sozialistischen Partei und gehört zu den Auftraggebern der Regierung; er hat häufig Aufträge erhalten. Eine weitere Achse, die dieses Unternehmen in Anspruch genommen hat, ist die Strecke Korçë–Ersekë, die dieselben Probleme aufweist wie die Strecke Librazhd–Prrenjas.
Im gleichen Zeitraum, vor zwei Jahren, brach das Projekt der Achse Korçë-Ersekë zusammen. Die Arbeiten an dieser Achse hatten im Juni 2013 begonnen. Die Ausschreibung für den ersten Abschnitt mit einer Länge von 17,6 Kilometern gewann die Firma „ANK“ mit einem Gebot von rund 17 Millionen Euro. Nach jahrelanger Verzögerung konnte das Unternehmen die Arbeiten nicht abschließen, und 2017 wurde eine weitere Ausschreibung über 4 Millionen Euro für zusätzliche Arbeiten veröffentlicht, die ebenfalls an „ANK“ ging. Diesmal wurden für lediglich 4 Kilometer Straße mit einer maximalen Breite von 8,5 Metern ganze 20 Millionen Euro ausgegeben.
Für diese Achse warnte der Ingenieur Romeo Nazarko vor dem Einsturz, da er das Projekt als fehlerhaft bezeichnete. Aus diesem Grund erstattete er am 30. Oktober 2020 Strafanzeige bei der SPAK und verklagte den damaligen Direktor der albanischen Straßenbehörde, den Infrastrukturminister und das Unternehmen „ANK“.

Dem oben genannten Dokument zufolge ist die Firma „Gener2“ von Bashkim Ulaj Eigentümerin der Firma, die die Genehmigung für den Photovoltaikpark „Greensol“ shpk erhalten hat.
Die Betriebsdauer beträgt 49 Jahre ab Inkrafttreten des Beschlusses. Das Ministerium für Infrastruktur und Energie sowie die Nationale Agentur für natürliche Ressourcen haben das Recht, während der Umsetzung, Inbetriebnahme und des Betriebs jeweils drei Monate lang die allgemeine Aufsicht auszuüben.

The Bulgarian and Romanian services of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) are set to cease operations on March 31, sources with knowledge of the situation told BIRN, ending two of the most prominent Western-supported journalism initiatives active in the contemporary media environment.
The closures follow the ending of RFE/RL’s Hungarian service on November 21 and are the direct result of the Trump administration’s drive to choke off federal funds for RFE/RL, Voice of America and the other public media outlets supported by the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
The Prague-based RFE/RL – which provides high-quality reporting in more than 20 language versions, including Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Armenian and Persian – has been forced to cut 90 per cent of its freelancers and furlough about 25 per cent of its staff since the Trump administration issued an executive order in March 2025 aimed at closing USAGM.
A measure of predictability returned to RFE/RL’s operations on February 3 when President Donald Trump signed the 2026 appropriations bill, which includes funding for USAGM for the next fiscal year but is roughly 25 per cent down from previous years. Congress had appropriated 148.7 million dollars for RFE/RL in the fiscal year 2025 Congressional Budget Justification.
For many local journalists and media analysts, the closure of RFE’s Romania service (Europa Libera Romania) primarily signals an erosion of investigative capacity and editorial pluralism within an already strained media environment. “This is more than the shutdown of a newsroom – it amounts to the extinguishing of a symbol,” media analyst Petrisor Obae told BIRN.
“At a time when the avalanche of fake news, disinformation and manipulation is greater than ever, the need for a benchmark of responsible journalism is more acute than at any other moment. Yet instead of reinforcing a trusted source, the Trump administration opted to close it down,” he added.
No official statement has been issued by Europa Libera Romania and, so far, none of the journalists have departed the Bucharest office, appearing to remain fully engaged in their reporting duties. In informal remarks, some staff members said the organisation has consistently provided the editorial independence required to carry out their work professionally and without interference.
The Romanian service currently employs around 20 people and is the successor to the original Radio Free Europe broadcaster, which played a crucial societal role during the Cold War, when it served as one of the few credible sources of uncensored information for the population at a time of strict state control over the domestic media. Radio Free Europe maintained operations in Romania until 2008, the year the country consolidated its status as a member of the EU. After a decade-long hiatus, it re-established its online-only Romanian service in 2018, amid mounting concerns within the US administration about disinformation and democratic backsliding in the region.
The Bulgarian service (Svobodna Evropa) had not responded to BIRN enquiries by time of publication.
Questions have inevitably turned to the future of RFE/RL’s Moldovan service (Radio Europa Libera Moldova), particularly given the small yet strategically important Southeast European country faces growing interference from Moscow in its elections and media landscape. Sources say the service is safe for this year, though is operating with a skeleton crew. Its longer-term future could be secured with proposed external funding from EU and/or non-EU sources, though the upheavals at RFE/RL have complicated this effort.

Die EU sabotiert Alles in Serbien, versucht jeden Amtsträger zu bestechen in Alter Methode wie es Robert Baer schon erklärte
Sonntag, 28. Februar 2016
„Kosovo ist eine rote Linie für Serbien“, General: Die USA haben die Möglichkeit eines neuen Konflikts ausgeschlossen.

General Ded Prenga äußerte sich zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen in der Region und zur Rolle der US-Regierung bei der Stabilität des Balkans.
Er kam zu dem Schluss, dass die Stabilität nun gewährleistet sei, da die US-Regierung seiner Ansicht nach klare Grenzen für Belgrad festgelegt und jede Möglichkeit eines neuen Konflikts in der Region vermieden habe, obwohl kleinere Provokationen weiterhin möglich seien.
„Ich sehe, dass diese Realität die Trump-Regierung zu dieser Erklärung gezwungen hat, in der sie klar definiert hat, wie Serbien vorgehen soll. Es wurde zugesichert, dass Konflikte und die Eröffnung einer neuen Kriegsfront ausgeschlossen sind. Die Erklärung der US-Regierung wirkte wie ein Weckruf für Belgrad und zwang die serbische Regierung, eine klare politische Linie zu verfolgen und jegliche Provokation zu vermeiden, die die Region destabilisieren könnte“, sagte er gegenüber Euronews Albania.
Prenga unterstrich zudem die Bedeutung der gegenseitigen Anerkennung zwischen Serbien und Kosovo und betonte, dass der politische Prozess und die öffentliche Meinung in Serbien noch nicht bereit seien, diese Realität vollständig zu akzeptieren. Der General hob hervor, dass die angespannte Lage auf dem Balkan ein vorsichtiges Vorgehen erfordere und dass Belgrads Handeln von der US-Regierung und der internationalen Gemeinschaft ständig beobachtet werde.
„Das Thema der gegenseitigen Anerkennung ist in Serbien politisch und in der öffentlichen Meinung noch nicht bereit. Es gibt starke Strömungen und Reaktionen, die eine schnelle Akzeptanz erschweren, aber ich bin überzeugt, dass der Moment der Akzeptanz kommen wird“, fügte er hinzu.

Es braucht nicht viel Fantasie, Baers Erklärungen dazu, was in
Jugoslawien tatsächlich ablief, auf die Ukraine und andere Länder zu
übertragen, in denen die USA “Regimechange” betreiben. Welche

nur mutmaßen.
