Quick Glance: Heads of anti-government bloc report delays and harassment upon returning to Moldova
- Leaders of a new pro-Russian electoral bloc opposed to Moldovan President Maia Sandu's plans to seek European Union membership said they were deliberately delayed and harassed at the airport on their return home.

- The parties rallied around the fugitive pro-Russian business magnate Ilan Shor, who was sentenced last year in absentia to 15 years in prison for mass fraud.

euractiv.com/section/politics/news/eu-recovery-money-reaches-poland-as-tusk-delivers-on-key-promise/
Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
- With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.
- Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.
- To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.
- However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.
