Switzerland to cease checking passports of passengers flying from Bulgaria and Romania

The Swiss Federal Council has approved a decision that will facilitate travelling between Switzerland, Bulgaria and Romania, according to SchengenVisaInfo.com.

According to the Federal Council, the government decided to stop checking passports at its airports for people departing from Bulgaria and Romania from March 31, 2024. The move followed the EU Council’s decision to abolish air and sea border controls with the two countries.

“At its meeting on January 24, the Federal Council approved Switzerland’s response. For Switzerland, the adoption means, in particular, that from March 31, there will be no more checks at airports for people travelling to and from Bulgaria and Romania.”

However, the Council warned the public not to expect a significant increase in migration due to the decision, based on the experience of Croatia’s accession to the Schengen area early last year. However, it also emphasised that existing measures would be used to combat irregular and cross-border migration if necessary.

Something I genuinely love (and am constantly astonished by) is Eastern Europeans’ ability to make any room into “an additional bedroom.” Like brother, why is there a bed in the sauna?

Sofia; Bulgaria.

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, counts over 1.2 million residents. Seeking to increase its urban canopy cover, Sofia took part in the “Trees in Cities Challenge” pledging to plant 12,486 new trees. With its new urban forest, the city aims to increase its resilience to climate change and improve air quality. In 2020, over 22,000 new trees have been planted, 17,000 together with citizens and companies as part of Sofia’s initiative “New Forest of Sofia”. The city exceeded its pledge by more than 10,000 trees, planting them along streets and boulevards, in parks and courtyards of public institutions. To promote its planting activities, the city created a dedicated website and is reaching out to its residents through social media.

T/N: As of 31 March 2024, Bulgaria and Romania are officially part of the Schengen Area. However, only their air and maritime borders are open, with land border controls still remaining in place.

P.2.

"Schengen Agreement" Overview, a kind of timeline.

"Conflict Bulgaria & Romania and Austria". Due to the increase in illegal inmigration and corruption in both countries, Austria had refused Bulgaria's entry many times.

"Schengen Area" because it was signed in Schengen, Luxembourg.

Another timeline! (2023)

Extract from Wikipedia: "On 8 December 2022 the Justice and Home Affairs Council voted to admit Croatia to the Schengen Area, but rejected Bulgaria and Romania. Austria and the Netherlands voted against the inclusion of Bulgaria and Romania, with Austria claiming that there had been a rapid increase in the number of migrants using the West Balkan route to enter the EU illegally. 20 On 30 December 2023 the EU agreed to include Bulgaria and Romania in the Schengen Area, with Austria no longer vetoing the enlargement of the area. Air and sea ports no longer conduct border checks from 31 March 2024, while the end of land border checks require further discussions."

"About Hungary & Bulgaria". If the information is correct, there was a "threat" from the Hungarian government to vote against Bulgaria's entry into the agreement if they didn't solve the Russian gas problem, yeah, taxes.

But they did it! Press realese, European Comission.

"Romanian Industry". Talks more about Poland and Romania's future struggles in the industry.

"Bulgaria, and 'rich kid' allegations" Probably talking about the Golden Age of Bulgaria, first Empire in the mid 19-century. Or the Second Golden Age. The Bizantine Empire and the Italian Kingdom had economic relationships with the first Bulgarian Empire.

P.3.

"Netherlands & Bulgaria". The Netherlands government was against Bulgaria and Romania's entry. And then not.

P.4.

"yправител" in Bulgarian. It might mean "general", "manager" or "administrator".

Absolutely!

Back in 2022 the EBU was originally gonna allow Russia to participate on the basis that the Eurovision "Is not a political contest" even though it very much is.

Ukraine initially protested this but they, still, didn't budge.

Only after Finland, Estonia and Iceland threatened to withdraw (I think it was these three) and only then did the EBU decide to suspend Russia on the basis that their broadcaster was spreading misinformation and propaganda regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The official statement given was not that they had an issue with one of the contestants actively invading another, rather that they weren't being honest about it.

It's worth noting that each country has to pay a participation fee based on their population. In other words, a country like Poland is not paying the same amount of money as a country like San Marino. You can therefore see why the EBU did not want to lose Russia. If one country with large population leaves that means the participation cost for the remaining ones will rise. In fact, Russia's expulsion has inadvertently caused Bulgaria's, North Macedonia's and Montenegro's withdrawal as they could no longer afford the participation fee. This year, Romania, a country with a large population but facing financial difficulties is possibly also withdrawing. Their participation is still up in the air, well after the period to announce their participation has ended, and Australia also took quite a well to finalize negotiations for their participation.

Just like they did with Russia, the EBU has already announced that they do not intend to ban Israel and unless no other countries complain about it and threaten to withdraw, like Estonia, Finland and Iceland did before for Russia, they're gonna keep Israel around.

I'm not here to discuss who should be allowed in and who not, because if we start with Israel then we should also take Azerbaijan, Serbia and every single northwestern European country that retains colonies around the world out too, but my point is, if the EBU's official reasoning for expelling Belarus was that they were trying to send a propaganda song and for Russia was that their broadcaster was spreading propaganda, I don't see how Israel's broadcaster isn't doing the exact same thing about the ongoing situation in Palestine.

Hogsmeade Happenings

Sebastian Sallow x reader Warning: Nothing major, hinted sebastian sallow outcast, typical high school rumor mill behavior Summary: You and sebastian enjoy each others company on a nice walk to hogsmeade. Unbeknownst to you, your classmates all have their own opinions about sebastian sallow and everybody talks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The brisk autumn air embraced Hogwarts as You and Sebastian strolled hand in hand toward Hogsmeade, laughing and enjoying what limited sunlight the season has granted so far. As the two of you walked, You couldn’t help but notice the hushed whispers and pointing you were faced with from fellow classmates as you wandered toward the village with Sebastian, making things a little odd.

"Are people talking about us?" You asked, a curious smile playing on your lips.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, looking nonchalant. "Well, my dear Y/N, I do have a bit of a reputation with the faculty, as I said before, but I must have forgotten to mention the ones with the ladies."

You rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh no, a heartbreaker, Mister Sallow?"

“Only when they fall in love with me. But I am a Unicorn stallion that can’t be tamed.”He chuckled, squeezing her hand. "I can't help it if I leave a lasting impression. I’d just ignore it, honestly." He shrugs, continuing to lead down the path. “The Hogwarts rumor mill is always churning out some sort of nonsense. Don’t be surprised to hear we are running off to Bulgaria in a few weeks to get married.”

“I’ll have my bags ready, I suppose!”

“You and me both.”

Your laughter echoed through the air, temporarily drowning out the whispers and glances of your peers. However, as you continued your leisurely walk, you couldn't shake the nagging curiosity about what everyone was truly saying.

The shops and pubs of Hogsmeade came into view, and the couple decided to stop at the Three Broomsticks for a warm drink. As the two of you entered, the atmosphere shifted, and the conversations around them seemed to hush momentarily as students from the school noticed your arrival. You caught a few sidelong glances and discrete points in your direction. Sebastian, ever the suave gentleman, ordered Butterbeers with a charming smile, ignoring the behavior of the other patrons. You couldn't help but feel a surge of anger as people continued to mutter among their little groups, some looking upon Sebastian with distaste.

As the two of you settled into a cozy corner booth, you couldn't resist bringing up the lingering topic once more. "Sebastian, seriously, what's the deal with everyone talking about us and staring?" you ask, loudly enough for the nearest group to hear her. The 3rd years who had been whispering and pointing the most, quickly shuffled out of their chairs and toward the exit of the bar,

Sebastian leaned back in his chair, a small smile playing on his lips. "Like I said, I have a reputation. But it's nothing to worry about, honestly.” He takes a big drink of butterbeer and sighs, his usual mischievous grin reappearing. “Better drink it while its warm.” He teases, nodding his head down at your cup. “When we’re done here maybe we can go to the broom shop? I have to pick up some new handle polish if you don’t mind.”

“I suppose.” You smile, too relaxed to continue the conversation. You take a big gulp of butter beer and sigh content, its warmth washing over you.

How would you rank each non-replica on a scale of creativity/original ideas?

That is a good question with many possible answers! Mostly because there are "good" creative/original ideas and "bad" creative/original ideas out there, and some of the most creative ones may also be the one I dislike the most... For example, if going by creativity and originality alone, Estonia would be very high on the list. But I'm not really loving the production overall, so I wouldn't say it's the best original take on POTO. If that makes sense. But if ranking the productions purely by how different they are and how hard they have worked on not looking like the original, I would say:

ESTONIA: Inter-war setting, rather bleak in its colour scheme and overall design, with one helluva mirror-discoball lair design, leather-coat Phantom, Vivienne Westwood-esque Il Muto, Moulin Rouge-ish Masquerade, 1990s Haute Couture Don Juan... There's so much to say. Definitely original, and not just giving "we had a low budget" vibe.

FINLAND / SWEDEN: 1980s costume vibes, gold mask, rock'n'roll, huge sets, tiny chandelier, gigantic orchestra, for the most actual opera singers in the leads. This one felt odd more than anything. But original? Very much so.

KRISTIANSTAD, SWEDEN: Definitely a production on a budget, but yet checking off all the boxes of what you'd expect of a POTO production. And with some super original ideas for some key scenes - Raoul stumbling around in the falling sets during the Overture, the elegant double staging in the boat scene, the rarities in the Phantom's lair, Red Death crashing through a mirror and later disappearing in mid-air... They had so many cool lil' details going on. In style fairly 1880s, and with a cool horizontal half-mask for the Phantom. I really appreciated this one.

SERBIA: One could maybe argue this was more low-budget than original...? At least the basic black set with few changes and the many low-key costumes didn't feel like the biggest effort out there. But different? Oh definitely.

BULGARIA: Pretty much the same comments as Serbia. However, the Phantom's fruit crown in PONR can never be unseen. Neither can the monkey musical box which seemed to have lost its will to live. Memorable for sure.

ROMANIA / NORWAY / GREECE / TOUR: Whereas the basic drum set was fairly similar to the Restaged Tour, it felt like an original production still. Some independent interpretations of the Palais Garnier (including featuring a huge window as a mirror substitute for Christine), more Edwardian flair of the costume design, and a kick-ass chandelier - grand, fun, and with some cool and independent directing ideas throughout. The idea of never leaving the opera house, for example, was interesting. Very enjoyable overall.

MEDITERRANEAN: Basing nearly the whole set design within a rectangular, turnable box on stage was a neat and cool idea. This, combined with oh-so-Victorian costumes and so many nods to Phantom history, felt original and clever. Also some stunning original visuals, like the Phantom's lair with the Piraniesi-esque labyrinth backdrop. Speaking of original, it probably looked very as expected with its heavy victoriana flair - but to me that's not a negative thing.

POLAND: One could argue this in large was a carbon copy of the 2004 movie. The costumes in particular, but also directing elements like including a sword fight in the Mausoleum scene. But the sets - oh, those beautiful sets! Also a wild chandelier crash.

SYDNEY HARBOUR: A really hard one to rank. The world's first outdoor production (ORIGINAL!), with sets looking like Bjørnson's design on steroids (not as original), with 1860s flair costumes (hello 2004 movie) with a dash of LND Australia (not as original), but then a flying gondola over burning water (ORIGINAL!), a huge cast (very RAH), and performing come rain or sunshine (ORIGINAL!). Something old, something new... But definitely a cool one for the Phantom portfolio!

RESTAGED TOUR: I was a bit in doubt on how to rank this one. I mean, the costume design is in large not new, it's Maria Bjørnson's costumes. But then new set design, new directing and new choreography. With various degrees of success. To me the most original idea is the drum set structure, and also some new magic tricks and added moments. I'm not loving the directing choices, as it makes both the Phantom and Raoul rather unloving candidates for Christine - why would she pick either of them? Also felt too much like a nod to Love Never Dies to appear truly original. So yeah, mostly for the sets.

HUNGARY and CZECH REPUBLIC: Whereas the productions themselves may not look the same, they both feel like two similar takes, to loving interpretations of the original, sticking to the same colour schemes and with a heavy Victorian flair. Directing wise they also feel like the same landscape. I appreciate both a lot, and especially Hungary has some clever ideas going on. I also loved how they picked Palais Garnier as a base - but totally different areas or angles of the Palais Garnier than what Bjørnson did. But if going purely by originality they don't move too far outside the box.

NEW ROMANIAN PRODUCTION: Nearly impossible to rank. AI design with some tweaks, which has resulted in a sort of amalgamated combo of all the non-replica production set design, with a sprinkle of Maria Bjørnson design on top. With some playing-card-odd costumes. Some visuals are stunning, some are very traditional, some are way out there. Yeah, I have no idea how to rank this one.

(and of course this is just my impression of them - have in mind that I've only seen three of them live, and if I see more of them in the future I may feel different about this ranking)
