Strong headwinds in public opinion for the broad coalition government in Berlin.

Opening by German FM @HeikoMaas of the conference in Berlin on lessons of the First World War.

And now for a take off from Brussels. Heading to Berlin this evening. Always a pleasure.

A pleasant late summer day in hectic Brussels. But you hear how the European Parliament elections are approaching.

One of those much too early take off’s for Brussels this morning.

The patterns in the elections in Bosnia look very familiar. You can see some problems down the line.

And now it’s soon take off from Newark in New York. Heading home.

Some sort of Polish takeover at Manhattan at the moment.

It’s not only presidential election in Brazil today. Elections on all levels.

We will see, but to me it looks like we are heading for a centre-right coalition in Latvia after today’s election.

Morning in NY. Start of two days @CrisisGroup board meeting, also with a number of new members.

Beautiful over the Southern tip of Greenland. And now evening in New York.

Delayed takeoff to New York for primarily @CrisisGroup meetings. A semi-antique A340 still in SAS inventory.

And now heading back from Västerås to Stockholm. A convenient commute.
