🛢 There are no borders to friendship!

🇷🇺🇷🇸 A project for a pipeline that will connect Serbia to the Russian "Druzhba" pipeline through Hungary is planned to be implemented by 2026.

Serbia has turned to Russia for assistance in realizing this pipeline, which was discussed back in 2022.

📄 By the end of this year, it is planned to complete the feasibility study for the construction of the pipeline.

With the construction of this pipeline, Serbia will be able to diversify its oil supplies to the country.

🇭🇷 Currently, raw materials are delivered to Serbia through Croatia via the JANAF pipeline.

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin on modern children at the Congress of Young Scientists:

"Just now, your colleague, a mathematician, was talking about how smart children are. Perhaps this accumulation of knowledge and experience from previous generations is in the genes, which is why we are increasingly amazed when we talk about children. They are somehow completely different," the president stated at a meeting with the participants of the Congress of Young Scientists.

💻 During this meeting, Vladimir Putin was informed about an 8th-grade student who developed a program that scores 90 points out of 100 on the Unified State Exam (USE).

⚡️ Monitoring of illegal alcohol production has begun from space

🇷🇺🥃 Starting December 3, new amendments have come into force in Russia, allowing for the monitoring of illegal alcohol production using satellite surveillance. These changes, initiated by the Ministry of Finance, are aimed at combating counterfeit alcohol producers, which account for up to 26% of the strong drink market.

🛰 Satellite technology will now help identify land plots where equipment for the production of ethyl alcohol is installed.

🌡 Supervisory authorities will track changes in thermal radiation levels from buildings, as well as the presence of smoke and the movement of freight transport near suspicious sites. Monitoring services will be able to observe such locations at least twice a month, making it more effective to identify illegal production.

❗️ Special attention will be given to sites where activity is recorded for more than two consecutive days.
