Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:41:19 GMT

LUXEMBOURG — Three Kosovo police officers who were detained for almost two weeks in Serbia have been released, in a development that could help jump-start stalled talks between the two Western Balkan countries. “We confirm that the three kidnapped police officers have been released,” Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti announced on Twitter.But in a sign that Pristina is demanding accountability for the actions he added: “This abduction consists of a serious human rights violation & must be reprimanded. The Serbian aggression must be held accountable.”The capture of the three police officers had been condemned by the United States, and marked the latest escalation between Pristina and Belgrade following controversial elections in the north of Kosovo in April. Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán claimed credit for brokering the deal with the Serbian president — a close ally of Budapest. “We highly appreciate the step of President Vučić which he took in a ...

Column: What we know about the Chicago Cubs and White Sox — and what we don’t — as midseason approaches

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:41:19 GMT

As the 2023 baseball season nears the midpoint, here’s what we know and don’t know about the Chicago Cubs and White Sox.Tim Anderson is too good a hitter to continue at his current pace. That’s what we keep saying anyway. Anderson, the 2019 American League batting champion, was hitting .358 on June 22, 2022, before going on the injured list with a groin injury. He since has suffered finger, knee and shoulder injuries and is hitting .244 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 93 games. Anderson’s last home run was on July 15, 2022, in Minnesota.Despite winning this weekend’s series against the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox have given no reason to believe they can be even a .500 team. Giving Anderson playing time at second base should increase his trade value. The Los Angeles Dodgers could be a good fit.NBC Sports Chicago’s Chuck Garfien and Ozzie Guillén might be the Sox’s toughest critics. Both criticized Anderson during Friday’s postga...

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu made his first public appearance since a mercenary uprising demanded his ouster, inspecting troops in Ukraine in a video released Monday aimed at projecting a sense of order after the country’s most serious political crisis in decades.But uncertainty still swirled about his fate, that of rebellion leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and his private army, the impact on the war in Ukraine and even the political future of President Vladimir Putin.A feud between Wagner Group leader Prigozhin and Russia’s military brass that has festered throughout the war erupted into a mutiny that saw the mercenaries leave Ukraine to seize a military headquarters in a southern Russian city and march seemingly unopposed on Moscow, before turning around after less than 24 hours on Saturday.The Kremlin said it had made a deal that Prigozhin will move to Belarus and receive an amnesty, along with his soldiers. Yet on Monday, Russian media reported a criminal probe against ...
