Activists film eggs in close proximity to decaying carcasses

Leaked footage from battery cage farms shows eggs being produced alongside animal carcasses and manure. While animal rights groups have released the footage to highlight hygiene and welfare standards, an official inspection reported finding no major irregularities. It is the latest clash between what activists film and what inspectors see.

The Financial Administration is facing questions after it reportedly failed to tell police about the seizure of a truck containing 14 million cigarettes. The incident suggests a certain lack of communication between the country's different branches of law enforcement.

Janez Janša has added a new condition to Serbia’s path toward the European Union, threatening to block their entry unless the Serbian authorities hand over old Udba secret police archives. Domestically, the mood is more focused on the present: nearly 300,000 citizens are now living below the poverty line.
