This month is the anniversary of the Battle of Monte Cassino, which is the commemoration of polish soldiers fighting for Italy’s liberation in the WWII. The presidents of Poland and Italy both attended the ceremony, which marked as a remembrance of 100-year Poland-Italy relations. Poland-Italy relations have long been established on the similarities of Roman Catholic, historical traits and remained peaceful; however, the issues of Russia and migration have seemed to flag the different opinions from both countries.

Sanctions against Russia

Both countries have been generating different opinions on the topic of Russia regarding whether the sanctions should remain. Poland seems to voice the support of sanctions against Russia despite it being the EU/NATO member that has past ties with Russian Eastern bloc. Whereas, Italy is in the opinion of removing the sanctions against Russia.

Italy has been one of the EU members in favour of removing sanctions against Russia for the reason that Italy has been losing billions of goods export to the sanction on Russia. Furthermore, Italy asserts that removing the sanction will not damage the EU economy but will instead help the EU’s economic growth.

Poland’s relation with Russia has been in escalated stalemate after the death of Lech Kaczynski and the Crimea crisis. History taught Poland that international treaties could not protect itself and hence Poland built up military in response to the Crimea crisis. In terms of gas import from Russia, Poland is more in favour of importing from the Northern European countries.

 

Migration Issues

Different from the issue of Russia sanctions, both countries’ opinions on migration issues marked a slight difference. Italy considers migration issue the main threat the same as economic growth and Islamic radicals; whereas, Poland deems Islamic radicalism and Russia sanction to be more important than economic growth and migration issues; plus, Poland does not agree with Italy’s view of redistributing migrants throughout Europe.

In terms of economic issue, Poland, as a member of Visegrad group, has been seeing its economic growth with GDP increasing 4.2%. Italy, which has long been in economic stagnation, struggled to find a way to pull up the GDP rate. Therefore, to Poland, the concerns depend more on the issue of Russia sanctions and less on economy and migration.

However, both countries have the similar problem on emigration. It is apparent that young people from Poland and Italy moving to work in Germany, the UK and elsewhere. Suffering from the loss of young workers, both countries have different interpretations. Poland is worried that it is difficult to eradicate the longstanding roots of communist past. Italy thinks that it is critical to adjust the economic policy so to keep the young people.

 

Division or Coalition?

Despite different opinions on issues of Russia sanctions and migration, both countries have remained stable political alliance especially like-minded stance on the EU parliament elections. However, the EU election has rather salient impacts on both countries’ domestic politics.

The ruling party of Poland – Law and Justice (PiS) has a 46.01% over the opposition – European Coalition 37.87%. In Italy, the far-right League party declared a victory which implies possibility of a general election ahead of cabinet reshuffle.

 

Our View

The multilateral relations of EU and relations among EU member countries strongly rely on the member countries’ domestic politics. However, the EU member relations can also backfire the member countries’ domestic politics. Whether it is division or coalition does not only matter to the European Union but also to the member countries themselves.

ICRD holds for peace in EU and believes that constant talks among different countries will establish stable communication and bring forward stable relations.

  4. 88iat.net… Hmm, I don’t immediately recognize that one. Looks like a pretty standard interface. Might be a diamond in the rough. If you are keen to find a place to play, give it a try: 88iat

  7. Die Lobby ist angenehm gestaltet, da wichtige Kategorien zu finden sind.

    Wer kein VIP ist, erhält lediglich 5 Freispiele mit einer
    20-fachen Umsatzanforderung. Spieler ohne VIP-Status erhalten nur 40%.
    Möchtest du einen Bonus nutzen, achte nur auf die nötige
    Mindesteinzahlung. Den Willkommensbonus gibt es übrigens ganz einfach.

    Die Freispiele sind alle für das Spiel Big Bass Bonanza gedacht.

    Ich werde Ihre Beschwerde nun an meinen Kollegen Peter weiterleiten ( [email protected] ), die

  8. Es fühlt sich an wie eine Site, die von Leuten erstellt wurde, die tatsächlich spielen, und das macht einen großen Unterschied.
    Wenn Sie hier sind, um Spielautomaten zu spielen oder auf Ihr Lieblingsteam zu wetten, sind Sie mit
    nur ein oder zwei Klicks dort. Wenn Sie bei Rolletto spielen, müssen Sie sich keine Sorgen um Ihre Sicherheit machen.
    Egal, ob Sie Spielautomaten, Live-Casinospiele erkunden oder
    auf Sport wetten möchten, alles ist einfach super einfach zu finden und
    loszulegen. Auf der Rolletto-Site Deutsch können Sie ganz einfach einsteigen und spielen.
    Die hohen Einsatzanforderungen und der begrenzte Maximalgewinn pro Wette oder Drehung, werden jedoch als
    nicht spielerfreundlich angesehen. Das Casino
    ist ein Instant-Play-Browser-Casino, und Sie können darauf
    zugreifen und Spiele nur mit Ihrem Internet-Browser auf iOS, Android und Windows-Geräten spielen. Wenn Sie auch
    gerne Ihr Spieltempo bestimmen und lieber gegen Computer in rundenbasierten Szenarien als gegen Live-Dealer in Echtzeit spielen, besuchen Sie Rolletto
    Casino und testen Sie Ihr Glück in einem der vielen hochwertigen Spiele.
    Slot-Liebhaber können ihre Casino-Boni einsetzen, indem sie viele erstklassige Spiele spielen, die von einigen der
    besten Software-Anbieter der Welt entwickelt
    wurden.
    Man muss viel setzen, um den Bonus freizuspielen, besonders bei den ersten beiden Einzahlungen. Zusätzlich gibt
    es einen separaten ersten Einzahlungsbonus, der einen 150%
    Bonus bis zu 500 €/$ plus 50 Freespins bietet.
    Mit Willkommensboni bis zu 6.500 € für Casinospiele,
    einem speziellen 150% Bonus für Sportwetten und einem 100% Bonus bis zu 500 € für
    eSports, gibt es Angebote für jeden Geschmack.

    6.000 fantastische Casino-Spiele. Das Bonusangebot eines Online Casinos beinhaltet natürlich nicht nur den Willkommensbonus, den neue
    Spieler in Anspruch nehmen können, sondern auch viele
    andere Bonusoptionen danach.

  9. Die Einsatzlimits der Spiele werden von den Providern festgelegt.
    Die Auszahlungslimits wirken sich nicht auf Gewinne bei progressiven Jackpots aus.
    Die Auszahlungslimits in den Online Spielhallen sind meist ähnlich.
    Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Spielautomaten, Tisch- und Kartenspielen, Video-Poker-Automaten, Crash- (Arcade-)-Spielen und aufregenden Live-Casinospielen.
    Online-Casinos ohne Einsatzlimit oder mit einem 1€-Einsatzlimit bieten Ihnen eine große Auswahl an Spielen. Online Casinos ohne Limit haben jedoch den entscheidenden Vorteil, dass
    sie nicht den strengen Vorgaben des deutschen GlüStv unterliegen.
    Der Grund dafür ist die Lizenz, die in diesen Fällen außerhalb Deutschlands ausgestellt wurde und keine so
    strengen Richtlinien vorsieht, wie die deutsche Lizenz.

    3fach Bonus bis 1000 € + 350 FreispieleCleobetraFastplay und Autoplay verfügbar 100% Bonus bis 500 € + 200 FreispieleMafia CasinoSchnelle Zahlungen 100% Bonus bis 500 € + 100 FreispieleSpinplatinumkrypto-freundlicher Anbieiter 250% Bonus bis
    2000 € + 250 Freispiele + 1 Bonus CrabSpins of GloryKeine Verifizierung notwendig Wir zeigen Ihnen,
    welche die besten Online Casinos ohne Einzahlungslimit und Einsatzlimit auskommen.
    Aber heißt das, dass auch Jugendliche im Casino spielen können? Nicht
    so bei Online Casinos ohne Limit, denn dort kann man nach der Registrierung ohne
    Verifizierung sofort spielen. Nutzen Sie ruhig die Gelegenheit,
    im Online Casino Slots mit Spielgeld spielen zu
    können.

  12. YouTube has an estimated 14.8 billion videos with about 4% of those never having a view.
    The company stated the decision was in response to experiments which confirmed that smaller YouTube creators were more likely
    to be targeted in dislike brigading and harassment.
    On April 9, 2025, YouTube expressed support for the NO FAKES Act of 2025, introduced by Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and announced an expansion of
    its pilot program that is designed to identify content generated by AI.

    On July 30, 2025, amid the implementation of the Online Safety Act 2023 in the United Kingdom, Google announced that it would begin to enforce “age assurance” policies
    for selected users in the United States as a trial.
    In April 2024, YouTube announced it would be “strengthening our enforcement on third-party apps that violate YouTube’s Terms of Service, specifically ad-blocking apps”.

    Users of ad blockers may be given a pop-up warning saying “Video player will be blocked after 3 videos”.

    Karim said the inspiration for YouTube came from the
    Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy when Janet Jackson’s breast was briefly exposed by Justin Timberlake during the halftime show.

    The three were early employees at PayPal and had become wealthy after
    eBay’s acquisition of the company. It also offers YouTube Premium, a paid subscription option for watching
    content without ads.
