Mali

Foreign Affairs Minister Bogdan Aurescu welcomes the decision to suspend the Republic of Mali from the Governing Council of the Community of Democracies (CoD) in a process initiated at the Extraordinary Meeting of the CoD Governing Council chaired by the Romanian top diplomat, in the context of Romania's holding the Presidency of the Community of Democracies.

Minister Mali said that the arrangement is made for 30 months, and his goal is to continue with the structural reforms that were started with the previous arrangement.
"I mean, first of all, the reforms of public companies, the green agenda, everything that should contribute to enhancing our competitiveness," Mali told RTS.

Minister of National Defense Nicolae Ionel Ciuca, attending today at the 'Mihail Kogalniceanu' Air Base the homecoming ceremony for the Carpathian Pumas Helicopter Detachment at the end of their Mali mission conducted under the auspices of the UN, said that the Romanian Army has once again proven that it can fulfill complex missions in extremely difficult theaters of operation.

The U.S. State Department said on Dec. 23 it has stopped sending explosive-detecting dogs to Jordan and Egypt over concerns of deaths of deployed dogs from causes like heat stroke and poisoning.

Mali expects that this will be realized by the end of the year.
"We are negotiating intensively and I think we will be admitted to Euroclear in the next couple of weeks, i.e. by the end of the year, which will further increase the demand for our securities", Mali told reporters.

Nearly 100 people were killed in a gruesome overnight attack on a village in central Mali, in the latest violence to strike the fragile region, authorities said on June 10.

Mali did this alongside LSE's CEO Nikhil Rathi, with whom he afterwards discussed the potentials for investing in Serbia and possibilities for cooperation, Tanjug is reporting.

Mali's government said that armed men attacked a central village, killing 37 civilians, in what appeared to be ethnic violence.

Much has been done in that area, Mali told a ministerial meeting held within the framework of the Berlin process.

Speaking at the panel "A common approach to the digitized Western Balkans", Mali said that IT industry generates 10 percent of Serbia's GDP, and is recording high growth rates year in year out.

The session is this Monday discussing Brnabic's proposal to elect Mali as the new finance minister in her cabinet.

She in this way responded to the leader of the opposition SRS group in the Assembly, Vojislav Seselj, who said his party would not vote for Mali, and added that he "almost teared up while the PM was reading out the heartbreaking letter filled with praise (of Mali)."
