Discussion Highlights:Building Schengen: Origins in the Coal and Steel Community (1952), the Treaty of Rome (1958), and the Schengen Agreement (1995), creating 16,000 km of invisible internal borders through a single market and shared enforcement mechanisms.Asylum strains: Germany and Austria have received over half of all EU asylum seekers during the Syrian and Ukrainian crises, revealing the breakdown of the Dublin allocation rules under free movement.Humanitarian crisis at the external border: Approximately 30,000 people have died attempting Mediterranean crossings in the last decade, underscoring the need to address smuggler-driven journeys.EU–Turkey precedent: The 2016 agreement cut irregular crossings from about 1 million to 30,000 and deaths from 1,100 to 80 within a year, demonstrating the efficacy of safe-third-country arrangements.Safe-third-country proposals: Knaus calls for similar pacts with West African states to deter Canary Islands crossings, coupled with procedural guarantees under international law.Regular migration frameworks: Expansion of refugee resettlement and labour migration via planned pathways—in the style of Canada or Australia—to meet workforce needs and reduce reliance on smugglers.European deterrence: With U.S. reliability in doubt, Europe must bolster its own deterrent capacity—including possibilities such as a German nuclear option—and integrate frontline democracies.EU enlargement: A clear, merit-based accession roadmap for Ukraine, Moldova, and Western Balkan candidates is essential to reinforce democracy, security, and prosperity.Engaging the next generation: Francesca Knaus highlights a gap in how Europe's peace “miracle,” the lived threat of modern warfare, and climate urgency are communicated to younger Europeans.About Gerald KnausGerald Knaus is an Austrian social scientist and co-founder and chairman of the European Stability Initiative (ESI), which he helped establish in Sarajevo in June 1999. An alumni of the University of Oxford, the Institut d'Études Européennes in Brussels, and the Johns Hopkins University Bologna Center, Knaus taught macroeconomics at the State University of Chernivtsi in Ukraine,  worked for NGOs and international organisations in Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina and directed the Lessons Learned and Analysis Unit of the EU pillar of UNMIK in Kosovo. He is a founding member of the European Council on Foreign Relations and served as an Associate Fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. Knaus was a Mercator-IPC Senior Fellow in Istanbul and a Europe's Futures Fellow at the IWM here in Vienna.Knaus co-initiated and co-negotiated the 2016 EU–Turkey migration statement, authored Can Intervention Work? (2011) and Welche Grenzen brauchen wir? and received the Karl Carstens Award in 2021.

Founded as a place of encounter in 1982 by a young Polish philosopher, Krzysztof Michalski, and two German colleagues in neutral Austria, its initial mission was to create a meeting place for dissenting thinkers of Eastern Europe and prominent scholars from the West.Since then it has promoted intellectual exchange across disciplines, between academia and society, and among regions that now embrace the Global South and North. The IWM is an independent and non-partisan institution, and proudly so. All of our fellows, visiting and permanent, pursue their own research in an environment designed to enrich their work and to render it more accessible within and beyond academia.For further information about the Institute:https://www.iwm.at/

Episode #362: Myanmar has recorded the world's worst casualties from landmines and explosive ordnance for the first time, with over 1,000 casualties in 2024 alone, 29% of whom are children. The inaugural episode in our “Navigating a Minefield” series kicks off with Bekim Shala, a humanitarian mine action expert whose journey in the field began in his native Kosovo, heavily contaminated by landmines during the breakup of Yugoslavia. Witnessing the human toll there, he recognized the importance of mine action. “By being exposed to people who have been injured really quickly, it became clear how important this work is,” Shala says. His work has since taken him to numerous conflict and post-conflict zones, including Eritrea, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, and Vietnam before arriving in Myanmar in 2016. As a coordinator for humanitarian mine action in the country, Shala led a team contributing to explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) and secured permissions for surveys through engagement with Naypyidaw, while pushing for permission to conduct de-mining. Shala believes that “had COVID-19 not struck and the coup not unfolded, [they] would have been clearing landmines in Myanmar by now.” However, the 2021 coup worsened the situation, with landmines now pervasive across all states and regions, moving increasingly into residential zones. This shift, coupled with indiscriminate mining by less experienced parties, has led to an increasing threat to civilians that could take decades to defuse. Most landmines are factory-produced by the Myanmar military, although improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are also made by some ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) and People's Defense Forces (PDFs). Systematic clearance is impossible given the conflict and lack of permissions. As Myanmar is not a signatory to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, Shala's strategy focuses on engaging all parties to reduce landmine use, especially in civilian areas, looking ahead to a future where the country can be cleared of explosive ordnance. “Even small reductions, such as refraining from use in populated areas or encouraging basic record-keeping of where landmines are laid, can shave decades from the other end,” he says.

Profesorka istorije na Filozofskom fakultetu u Beogradu Radina Vučetić i aktivista, pravnik i istoričar Dragan Popović (Centar za praktičnu politiku) razgovarali su u novoj epizodi Radar Foruma o kulturi sećanja, ratovima sećanja i mobilnim blokadama koje predstavljaju novu fazu u studentskoj borbi, ali i prostor za pojačanu represiju države i njenih pridruženih elemenata. „Studenti su uspeli u tome da zastava Srbije zasluži da mladi Bošnjak, prvi put otkad ja pamtim, kaže: ovo je moja zemlja i ovo je moja zastava. Do sad je to bilo nezamislivo. Uspeli su da urade dovoljno da nađu zajednički jezik i upute zajedničku, a zapravo univerzalnu poruku – tražimo pravdu i slobodu“, zaključio je Popović. Na pitanje o položaju žene u crkvi, za koje se često može čuti da je podređen – recimo, žene mogu biti svetice, ali ne i sveštenice –, vladika Grigorije je rekao da odgovora bezbroj, ali da nijedan neće biti dostatan. Na profesorkino pitanje o desničarskim tonovima na Vidovdanskom protestu, Popović je odgovorio podsećanjem da su studenti određene narative nasledili, a među njima je i ono o Kosovu i Vidovdanu. „Studenti su narativ o Vidovdanu i Kosovu dobili na gotovo, kao nešto što je stvar društvenog konsenzusa. Kosovo je Srbija, i tačka, a taj narativ smo im ga mi ostavili, i nisam siguran da referisanje na njega podrazumeva pripadanje nacionalističkoj ideologiji. Vučić je za njih problem i zbog pada nadstrešnice i zbog ‚izdaje Kosova‘, dakle, fokus je na problematičnim vlastima u Srbiji“, kaže Popović. Više na www.radar.rs

It's time for the way-too-early Conference League 2025-26 preview! Except it really isn't too early - the 1st qualifying rounds start THIS WEEK if you can believe it. But we're starting off with the 5 "big league" clubs who start their journey in the playoff qualifying round (aka the final step before the League Phase): Nottingham Forest, Rayo Vallecano, Mainz, Strasbourg, and of course, the Conference League house band - Fiorentina. We take a look at what each club has to offer on and off the pitch, why we're so excited to watch them, and what order they should be ranked as tournament contenders. Then, we move on to some lesser known participants from all over the continent - and some off of it. We take pitstops in Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, Kosovo, the Faroe Islands, and the Azores, as we introduce (or reintroduce) some of our favorite stories from the upcoming qualifying rounds and debate which minnows could make a Cinderella run at the League Phase!

This episode explores the transformation of the historic 75-acre Valley Forge campus- home to Founding Forward, a national civic education nonprofit founded by the Union League of Philadelphia and Freedom's Foundation.Fred shares his journey from military service to international project management to teaching at Temple University. Along the way, he reveals how landscapes, memory, and mission-based leadership shape how we build -and remember- our most important places. Whether you're a veteran transitioning into the A/E/C world, a project leader tackling deferred maintenance, or a parent wondering what civic education looks like today, this episode offers a reminder: leadership starts with service, and the built environment can inspire generations.Key Points From This Episode:Why project management is a natural fit for transitioning veterans.Lessons from building military camps in Kosovo and Afghanistan.The power of servant leadership- sometimes that means doing dishes and landscaping.Why trust and execution are foundational to any successful project.Quotes: “Vision is a really good thing, but it's only aspiration if you can't execute.” - Fred Conner  “Operations occur at the speed of trust.” — Gen.

Više od šest vekova prošlo je od onog 28. juna 1389. godine, ali boj na Kosovu nije izbledeo iz kolektivnog pamćenja, naprotiv, s vremenom je postao mitski temelj, istorijski topos i politički simbol.

No Medics, No Press, No Mercy: Modern War Doesn't Believe You Anymore In theory, war has rules: press badges, medics, the Red Cross, the Geneva Conventions. But in practice—on the battlefield, on the street, or online—those protections are myths, not shields. And in 2025, no one in uniform truly believes in neutrality anymore.Whether in Gaza, Fallujah, or downtown Los Angeles, one reality has taken hold:Everyone is a combatant until cleared.Talk to JSOC operators, riot cops, drone pilots, or soldiers who've served in asymmetric warzones, and you'll hear it without hesitation. Journalists, NGOs, charity workers, even medics—all are potential threats. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) has made everyone's digital footprint an operational asset. What you post online can—and does—get you profiled in the field.A close friend of mine, a DIA interrogator embedded with a JSOC Little Bird unit in Iraq, once said it straight:“The vest doesn't protect you—it flags you for vetting.”And if you're wearing a vest labeled “PRESS” but tweeting like an activist? You're not neutral. You're narrative. And in modern conflict, narrative is firepower.No place illustrates this breakdown like Gaza. A population half under 18, with mosques doubling as command centers, apartment buildings as launchpads, and schools as arms caches. This doesn't mean every Gazan is a militant—but no soldier in the field can afford to assume they're not.That's not a moral judgment. It's a tactical one.The same logic applied in Vietnam, where children strapped bombs to their chests. It applied in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Kosovo. And it applies in America too—where during the George Floyd protests, even medics and credentialed journalists were shot, tear-gassed, tackled. Not because they were mistaken, but because they were no longer presumed neutral.Here's a harder question no one wants to ask:If a population is truly oppressed, where's the resistance?In occupied France, the Resistance bombed train tracks, assassinated collaborators, and ran sabotage cells. In Vietnam, even old women ran courier networks. But in Gaza? If Hamas is so hated, where are the Gazans fragging their commanders? Where are the defections, the bombings of Hamas arms depots, the assassinations from within?Silence can mean fear. Or it can mean complicity. Or something in between—Stockholm, survival, or shared ideology.In the U.S., we talk about “civilians” as if the distinction still means something. But with over 400 million privately owned firearms and tens of millions ideologically radicalized online, let's be honest: If America were ever invaded, “civilians” would become insurgents by nightfall.That's the world we live in now. There are no neutral NGOs. No unarmed narratives. No protected identities. Only signal and threat.The 20th century gave us the myth of the sacred civilian.The 21st gave us livestreams, hashtags, and high-velocity optics.And in that world, no medic, no press, no mercy. You are what your feed says you are.

Les Allemands redécouvrent leur Bundeswehr, leur armée nationale. Depuis la guerre en Ukraine, on parle en Allemagne de « changement d'époque ». Les autorités consacrent désormais des sommes faramineuses à la défense. Un fonds de 100 milliards d'euros a été créé. Une augmentation du budget qui devrait être confirmée au sommet de l'Otan. Du jamais vu depuis des décennies dans ce pays où les opinions sur le sujet évoluent. De notre correspondante à Berlin, Il fait une chaleur de plomb en ce dimanche de juin dans la capitale allemande. Au pied du Reichstag, de nombreux stands ont été dressés : armée de l'air, armée de terre, jeunes officiers devant un stand... Le lieutenant Hülya Süzen, cheveux courts et blonds, se réjouit du nouvel intérêt de la population envers la Bundeswehr. Cette femme officier a participé à plusieurs opérations de l'armée allemande en Irak et au Kosovo. « Avant la guerre en Ukraine, la population nous montrait un désintérêt bienveillant. Maintenant, les choses sont différentes et, pour la première fois, comme avec les Américains, les gens viennent nous voir et nous remercient pour notre travail. Cela signifie beaucoup pour moi en tant que soldate », explique-t-elle. L'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie a en effet été un tournant dans les mentalités en Allemagne, marquées par un profond pacifisme. Après la chute du rideau de fer, le pays se sentait en sécurité, protégé par l'Otan et par le grand frère américain. Mais cela change, estime le colonel Andre Wüstner qui préside la Fédération de la Bundeswehr, une organisation qui représente les intérêts des soldats et des soldates. « Les gens qui croyaient, depuis 1990 avec la chute du pacte de Varsovie, que la paix était un état permanent, ont désormais malheureusement conscience de la nouvelle réalité. Malheureusement, il ne s'agit pas d'imposer un militarisme ou de dire que nous voulons faire la guerre. Non, il s'agit de défendre notre mode de vie en paix et en liberté », déclare-t-il. Si les esprits ont évolué, c'est aussi parce que la politique allemande a réalisé un virage à 180 degrés en février 2023 après l'invasion de l'Ukraine par l'armée russe. Avec son fameux « Zeitenwende » (« changement d'époque »), l'ex-chancelier Olaf Scholz a promis de remettre à niveau la Bundeswehr, longtemps négligée. Un fonds spécial de 100 milliards d'euros a été débloqué et son successeur, le chancelier Friedrich Merz, a, lui aussi, desserré les cordons de la bourse. La situation dans les casernes s'est améliorée, mais les défis restent énormes, comme le constate le colonel Wüstner : « Le défi, c'est que nous devons croître énormément pour répondre aux engagements de l'Otan. L'Allemagne devra compter entre 250 000 à 260 000 soldats actifs. En soi, ce n'est pas si difficile si l'on dispose de 20 ans. Or, nous n'avons pas ce temps. Nous devons grandir de cette manière. En quatre ou cinq ans, cela va être un énorme défi. » On parle donc de plus en plus d'un retour du service militaire volontaire sur le modèle suédois. Concrètement, les jeunes hommes de 18 ans pourraient bientôt recevoir un document à remplir et les profils jugés les plus adaptés seraient invités à un service militaire de six mois.  À lire aussiL'Allemagne dit avoir besoin de «50 000 à 60 000» soldats supplémentaires pour renforcer son armée

Berlin is losing its publicly-funded Nextbike system. What does it say about the city's deflating civic status? Also we meet the artistic director of the Doxumentale film festival to hear why they've added an X to their name. And the founder of Give Something Back to Berlin will tell us about how beauty parlours are places of feminist empowerment.  Nextbike has lost its €1.5M annual public funding to run a discounted shared bicycle system across Berlin. The CDU-led city-state government says it is too broke to fund the scheme, which ran since 2017, and reached 4 million journeys last year. Joel explains what's behind its demise. Days before the start of Berlin's Dokumentale documentary and non-fiction festival, the organizers received a legal threat over their name. Instead of fighting, they've changed their name to DoXumentale. We meet the festival's artistic director Anna Ramskloger-Witt, who explains why the new name is better. She tells us about program, including a nature film about gay animals, a profile of a Berlin undertaker and more. DoXumentale runs until June 28.

In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared back in November 2023 (Episode 392). Ed Bowie, CEO and Director at Beowulf Mining, a listed junior miner with a diversified portfolio of development-stage projects in iron ore, graphite, gold, and base metal projects in Sweden, Finland, and Kosovo. With an exploration geology background, Ed has over 20 years of experience in the natural resources sector, having worked in corporate, advisory, and fund management roles and across a broad range of commodities and jurisdictions. Ed is going to give us an update on the company and its projects, details around community engagement, the support they receive from the EU, and the commodity price outlook. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Kallak project is currently undergoing a pre-feasibility study, with recent metallurgical tests confirming the ability to produce a high-grade, low-impurity iron ore concentrate. A slurry pipeline solution has been proposed to minimize community impact and logistical challenges. Community engagement is central to Beowulf's development plans. The company prioritizes minimizing impacts on local stakeholders, particularly reindeer herders, and aims to secure a social license to operate through transparent communication and collaboration. The pre-feasibility study for the Graphintech project has shown promising results, with plans to produce 25,000 tons of anode material annually. The project has a projected NPV of €924 million for phase one and over €2 billion for a potential phase two expansion. Despite market fluctuations, the demand for high-quality iron ore and battery minerals is expected to rise, particularly as the steel industry shifts towards lower carbon technologies. BEST MOMENTS "We can produce an extremely high grade, low impurity concentrate suitable for decarbonizing the steel industry. So critical for the green transition in that respect." "The solution that we've come up with is a slurry pipeline... it would be unseen, unheard, wouldn't impact local communities, no safety risks on the road." "We intend to be a completely independent part of the supply chain, no dependence on China whatsoever." "The awareness of the importance of raw materials and raw materials supply chains is... now everybody is aware of it."

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries."

From June 21, 2023: Carolyn Cole, a Pulitzer-Prize winning staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, has covered wars and other conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Liberia, Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the U.S.-Mexico border. Over the course of her 30 year career, she has been seriously injured on the job precisely once—when members of the Minnesota State Patrol pushed Cole over a retaining wall and pepper sprayed her so badly that her eyes were swollen shut. Cole was in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020 to cover the protests after the murder of George Floyd. She was wearing a flak jacket marked TV, a helmet, and carried press credentials at the time of her attack. Cole's story is not unique among the press corps. According to a new report out this week from the Knight First Amendment Institute called “Covering Democracy: Protests, the Police, and the Press,” in 2020, at least 129 journalists were arrested while covering social justice protests and more than 400 suffered physical attacks, 80 percent of them at the hands of law enforcement. As Joel Simon, author of the report and former Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, writes, “The presence of the media is essential to dissent; it is the oxygen that gives protests life. Media coverage is one of the primary mechanisms by which protesters' grievances and demands reach the broader public.”Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Joel, as well as Katy Glenn Bass, the Research Director of the Knight First Amendment Institute, to discuss the report, the long legacy of law enforcement attacks on journalists covering protests in America, who counts as “the press” in the eyes of the court, and what can be done to better ensure press freedom.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

From Combat to Clarity: The Healing Journey of Mark Keller This week's Team Never Quit episode features Lieutenant Commander Mark Keller, a retired U.S. Navy Naval Flight Officer who served his country with distinction in combat zones around the world—including Kosovo, Iraq, and post-9/11 Afghanistan. But after two decades of intense operational service, Mark faced a more insidious enemy at home: the devastating mental, emotional, and physical toll of war. In this powerful conversation, Mark opens up about his early years as a thrill-seeker, his journey from the Air Force to earning his commission into the Navy, and the harrowing missions that left scars no one could see. He recounts the mission that haunted him most—the unintended loss of innocent life—and how that moment triggered a years-long battle with PTSD, addiction, broken relationships, and near-death experiences. But Mark's story doesn't end in darkness. He takes us inside his transformational healing journey, made possible by plant-based neurogenesis therapies including Ibogaine and 5-MEO-DMT. Supported by the nonprofit Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS) and inspired by fellow veterans like Marcus Luttrell and Marcus Capone, Mark discovered not only deep healing—but a new purpose. Now an advocate for alternative PTSD treatments and featured in the upcoming documentary No Fallen Heroes, Mark shares how love, neuroplasticity, and hard-fought self-discovery helped him reclaim his life.  If you or someone you love is a veteran struggling with PTSD, you're not alone.

In this inspiring and wisdom-packed episode of Brad & Abbey Live, hosts Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes welcome special guest Lt. Colonel Oak McCulloch, veteran, author, and leadership coach, for an unforgettable conversation about what it really means to lead with courage, humility, and service. Drawing from over 40 years of experience in the military, disaster relief, and civic leadership, Oak shares powerful stories and principles from his book Your Leadership Legacy that apply to every level of life, from the battlefield to the boardroom to the kitchen table. The discussion covers everything from the importance of reflection and accountability to the dangers of micromanagement and ego-driven leadership. Oak emphasizes that great leaders teach, train, and trust their people, and they do it with consistency, integrity, and compassion. Whether recounting tense moments in Kosovo or managing a Gulf Coast food bank after the BP oil spill, Oak delivers hard-won truths with warmth, humor, and straight-shooting candor. Together, Brad, Abbey, and Oak explore generational challenges, the destruction of the nuclear family, the emotional toll of leadership, and why true influence begins at home. From “lead by walking around” to the idea of the “holy moment,” this episode offers not just leadership advice, but life advice, reminding us all that leadership isn't about titles, it's about impact. Whether you're a CEO, a foreman, a parent, or a stay-at-home mom, this episode will leave you with practical tools and timeless insight to lead well and live with purpose.

What if the leadership edge you're looking for doesn't come from working harder, but listening deeper?   We talk often about productivity, performance, and pushing through. But few conversations explore the quieter forces shaping our best decisions, like intuition.   In this episode, I speak with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, a director, writer, systems thinker, and an award-winning sustainability leader, about intuition as a source of strength, clarity, and resilience in both leadership and life.   Hrund shares how her work in post-conflict Kosovo with the UN led to burnout and a full reset — one that turned her toward the science and practice of intuition. Through personal stories, research, and the Icelandic concept of innsæi (“the sea within”), she explains how we can train our intuition as rigorously as we train our intellect.   We explore: How to know whether your intuition is guiding you, or your ego is pulling you Why many of us lose touch with inner guidance (and how to return to it) How to use an “attention journal” to strengthen your discernment The difference between insight and overthinking What it takes to create workplace cultures that respect sensing as much as data Why intuition is not the opposite of reason, but essential to it This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty, complexity, or the quiet knowing that something needs to change. Whether you're leading a team, facing a major decision, or simply looking to reconnect with your inner compass, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical tools to help you find your way — from the inside out. Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir is an Advisory Council member at Yale's International Leadership Centre and has been recognised for her work as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and Cultural Leader and Yale World Fellow. She has qualifications from Yale, Harvard Kennedy School, the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, Oxford Said Business School and the University of Iceland.   Get Hrund's book here: https://hrundgunnsteinsdottir.com/ InnSaei: Heal, Revive and Reset with the Icelandic art of intuition   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

In this gripping episode, we hear a detailed account from an eyewitness right at the heart of the tense NATO and Russian confrontation in Kosovo in 1999 at Pristina Airport. NATO General Wesley Clark had ordered the British to use force to remove Russian forces, however British General Mike Jackson refused with the immortal words “Sir, I'm not going to start World War Three for you”. Former BRIXMIS officer Stephen Harrison was a British Army liaison officer to the Russians and the translator at the complex and fraught negotiations at the airport. He provides a blow-by-blow account from the detailed notes he took at the time.

Blerim Skoro is a Kosovo-born former CIA operative whose life took a dramatic turn after deserting the Yugoslav army in the 1990s. Arriving in New York as an asylum seeker, Skoro's journey led him from a drug trafficking conviction to becoming a key informant for the FBI and CIA post-9/11. Posing as a radicalized Islamist, he infiltrated al-Qaeda networks in the Balkans, Middle East, and Pakistan, providing critical intelligence. His covert work ended after a 2010 shooting in Macedonia, when the CIA severed ties, leaving him with minimal compensation. Facing deportation in 2016, Skoro's story, detailed in the documentary The Accidental Spy, highlights the perils of espionage and abandonment by his handlers.
