Diarmaido pays Mordusia a visit

Although the Director is a busy man these days, Diarmaido has confirmed that he intends to accept Mordusia's invitation in person. Accompanied by the diplomatic corps, the main aim is to evaluate opportunities for economic cooperation. In government circles, it is speculated that agreements on sulphur supplies, which are still urgently needed, are one of the main topics of discussion. The requests on the Mordusian side are more difficult to assess so far. However, it is conceivable that a general increase in the volume of trade in civilian goods on both sides and possibly also an expansion of FARMAKON-Z into Mordusia's market are being sought.
Deeper relations between the two nations would mean Zardugal's first political and economic point of contact with South Seleya. The course and outcome of the state visit are therefore being followed with great attention by both the Supreme Council and leading business representatives


Police removes last protestors from Kasteleto Forest, clearing works finally commenced

Although the binding decision to clear parts of the Kasteleto Forest in order to expand nearby agriculture had been made long ago, protestors managed to avert damage to the affected area for quite a while. Even though the responsible Commissar Sojknabo initially made offers to find a compromise, the occupants of the woodland did not co-operate and were now completely removed by force this Wednesday. Deforestation works could already be started on Friday.


Economy takes a slight breath

Current statistics confirm that the Executive Board's economic interventions are beginning to have an effect. Even though inflation is still progressing at a much slower pace, the economy has recovered to a temporary level of stagnation. Forecasts based on the current trend predict a return to slight growth while maintaining the Spesmilo's value at LFR 10,0 from the middle or end of the year.
