Wehrmacht put into heightened alert
Amidst an invasion of a sovereign nation directly next to the border, the Wehrmacht was thrown into Heightened Alert, in preparation to combat any violation of Ostlandic Air Space and or Territory. Furthermore, amid the issue of heightened alert, the Ostlandic Air Force in cooperation with the Army began Operation Hita, which aimed to secure a zone of demilitarization, to effectively secure the border and open a safe corridor for refugees. Although receiving extensive resistance from the Socialist Coalition and Liberals, the Conservative Majority overruled any attempt to cease the operation, which is one of the first military operations since the Pan-Septentrion War. Despite political opposition to the military operation, the General Staff of the Wehrmacht has been the exact opposite, ecstatic that the Heer and Luftwaffe can gain vital experience in an actual military operation, and with the beginning of the operation, morale has been at its highest. Despite high confidence in the Wehrmacht as a whole, enlistment rates have only increased by a mere 1%, although a significant rate of growth compared to that of the years of 2015 or 2014.
Plans to build second vessel of the Krossa-class delayed
Although the Navy has seen rapid expansion, of which has been approved by the Conservative Government and even the Liberal Government prior, the Navy announced later last week that it would be delaying the expected construction of the ONS Elterbeuren. With Navy Spokesperson Gunther Halberstam stating ''That the Navy saw no need in expanding its carrier force, due to extensive support by Grand Alliance Member States in the Strachan and Abroad, we have full confidence that one Light Carrier will fulfill our doctrine to the fullest, effectively and efficiently''. Despite the announcement of the delay of the construction of the vessel, most Conservatives were not surprised, as the construction of a second carrier would not only be a waste of valuable material, but put strain to a budget that has been at its highest since the Pan-Septentrion War.
With a large portion of the Navy's budget now not being devoted to the construction of a second Krossa-class Light Carrier, the Navy has announced a new naval procurement plan, which aims to procure an additional 3 A26 Littoral Combat Submarines, which will improve the Navy's response to continuous advances in submarine technology. Furthermore, the Navy has announced a ''lull'' in ship construction, to reduce strain on the budget, which respectively has seen extensive budgetary strain due to lightning growth in the past decade, with the budget now seeing general relief, the Navy plans to begin a series of live fire exercises. The live fire exercises expected to improve combat readiness and cohesion, in preparation for any possible conflict which may reach Ostlandic coastal waters.
Krossa International Airport to undergo expansion
Krossa, an already major junction in the transportation of goods to multiple nations in Eastern Casaterra, has seen major growth in aerial traffic, with this in mind, plans have been announced by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure to expand Krossa International Airport, which will include the construction of two additional terminals and several new concourses. The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure expects the project in question to cost a total of 3,762,000,000 Ostmarks, construction is estimated to last a total of 5 years. The project has received wide spread support, especially by multiple businesses due to a need for a larger volume of aircraft to arrive to KIA daily to improve the transportation of daily goods.

Thousands of Demonstrators: Restore our Democracy!
Thousands of protesters arrive in Pancevo, calling the October 14th election "Blatantly Rigged"Pancevo, YUGOSLOVENSKI - Thousands of protesters arrived in Pancevo, as well as almost every major city in Sebrenska, after a shocking victory of the Democratic Party, despite 17% approval rating on the 13th of October. The Democratic Party won 58% of the vote in an election with a shocking 104.67% turnout, indicating ballot stuffing of some kind in the election. Prime Minister Anton Milic declined to comment and had to be whisked away by security as protesters stormed the platform in which he announced his victory.
Local police forces declined to respond to protests, leaving federal troops on their own as protesters, as of the most recent estimate, outnumbered nearly 75,000 to 1,340. Sebrenskan police forces also declined to respond to protests in Pancevo, but did respond to an incident which led to the death of two people after a car swerved to avoid protesters.
- Allies of the Country Speak Out -
Maldania decried the election as "a joke to democracy", and stated that Anton Milic's government was "illegitimate". This is the toughest language used by Maldania on Yugoslovenski in years, with no such language used on the state since the 2014 Maldanian Crisis.
Vihoslavia had "deep disappointment" in the election, but has not stated anything further. Vihoslavia is widely viewed as the bastion of democracy in the Commonwealth of Northern Casaterran States.
The Federation of Soviet Republics has not responded in any manner, but it has hosted a meeting between President Naum Valentinov and Premier Vetrov Zhukov on Tuesday.
- Democracy? -
Yugoslovenski has been operating a Federal Parliamentary Republic since 1998, when it refounded its government. For the most part, democratic elections have been ruled "free and fair" by an accounting board, who usually responds the day after. This year, with a turnout that is literally impossible and an election result that is far from likely, the accounting board is silent.
Yugoslovenski's democracy may have just died overnight.

Maldania, Nearly One MIllion Protestors: Anton Millic, Step Down NOW!
Hundreds of thousands of protesters, not deterred by increasing Federal Police presence, march in PancevoYUGOSLOVENSKI - Allegations against Anton Milic over ballot stuffing have officially fallen from the mouths of Maldanian leaders, who demanded that Anton Milic "listen to the will of the people" and "step down immediately", in a speech from Komarom on Saturday. Maldanian officials also readied security forces, though it was presently unknown what they would be used for, or if a message is being sent by that activation. President Paskal Boyadjiev of Maldania spoke today from his personal residence in the southern portion of the country, decrying "a malicious attempt to harm the institutions of democracy and the stability of our sister state," and went on further to state that "Maldanians, Letnevians, Vihoslavians, and the rest of the Commonwealth of Northern Casaterran States need to unite against this clearly intentional attack of our values." Boyadjiev refused to answer further questions, leaving shortly after his speech. President Valentinov of Yugoslovenski, who has been silent on the events, is expected to meet with Boyadjiev on Wednesday, after meeting in Vihoslavia on Sunday. It is unclear why Valentinov is visiting these countries while Yugoslovenski is in crisis.
Maldanian officials called the elections "illegitimate" on October 14th, stating the elections were "blatantly rigged" by re-elected Prime Minister Anton Milic. Protesters echoed those words, marching into the streets on Monday and declaring that "Anton Milic is less legitimate than Beauregard!" Protests came to a head in Pancevo on Friday when police fired tear gas before being forced to retreat. Protesters were reported to have charged them. At least 46 arrests have been made, though more were attempted and were met with fierce resistance from protestors, as of Saturday. Protests in Northern Saintonge and Maldania have also erupted, all demanding that Milic step down "in the name of God".
Federal Police have found themselves isolated in dealing with Protests, as police from all five republics have declined to intervene in any of the protests. Zepce Municipal Police even stood with protesters on Tuesday, to prevent Federal Police from harming the protesters. Military personnel have remained on lockdown, and refused to respond to protests at all. Even portions of Federal Police have refused to respond to protests, leading to 100 Federal Officers being fired on Thursday. Those 100 officers claim that the firing was done by an illegitimate government, so therefore their firing was also illegitimate.
Anton Milic and the Democratic Party won 58% of a controversial 104.67% turnout to win the National Parliament. The Elections Accounting Board issued a request for a recount on Wednesday, then denied making the request on Thursday, in a bizarre turn of events as the allegations of cheating become more and more apparent. Milic claimed the elections were "totally legitimate", and that media outlets were "lying about turnout". Official numbers were taken off of the government website, and since then the Elections Accounting Board website has been deactivated. Despite mass protests and worldwide condemnation, Anton Milic at present does not seem willing to step down, going as far as ordering Federal Police to shoot any protester who enters the National Parliament Building.

BREAKING: PRIME MINISTER ANTON MILIC ARRESTED; PRESIDENT VALENTINOV SEIZES CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT; APPARENT COUP UNDERWAY
Sebrenskan Police unmarked car joins military and police at the Parliament buildingPancevo, YUGOSLOVENSKI - An apparent coup is underway in Yugoslovenski. Military helicopters were seen flying over Pancevo Saturday afternoon, and Military Helicopters were seen at Anton Milic personal residence just short of the border with the Federation of Soviet Republics. Sebrenskan Police also responded to the parliament, keeping it under a temporary lockdown that was lifted at 9:30PM Pancevo Standard Time. At least 8 Federal Officers have been arrested by Sebrenskan Police since the beginning of the apparent coup.
11:25 PM - The Yugoslovenski Supreme Court has voted unanimously to allow the arrest of Milic, despite its unconstitutionality. In the ruling, the Chief Justice Dragomir Marić writes: "While the actions taken are not presently allowed via the Constitution of the Federal Soviet Republic, the extreme necessity for a similar action to be performed was apparent. Anton Milic illegitimately got himself re-elected for a third term - a clear violation of the constitution in regards to voting procedures. The continuation of forming a new Parliament via Emergency Election on January 1st, 2019, is a fair, just way to approach the situation, giving enough time for the parties to campaign for the election, as well as election offices to set up. It also is in a short enough period to not necessitate emergency powers except via a true national catastrophe. The proposed amendment, which would modify the constitution to make actions such as these legal in dire circumstances, will also be allowed to proceed in the manner elected, with the voice of such a decision needed to be done by the People, and not her Representatives. The action of arrest of Anton Milic, and the subsequent two elections to follow afterwards, are not overruled."
9:45 PM - President Valentinov has returned to Pancevo. Upon his return, he ordered a "General Readiness" of the Armed Forces, noting the weakened state of the nation with no legislative power. He will be going to the Supreme Court to justify a coup which is not technically legal under the constitution. The Supreme Court has not indicated whether or not it will block the coup.

9:30 PM - Military and Police occupation of the Parliament has officially ended. Members of the parliament have been ordered to go home and prepare to campaign for the election on January 1st, 2019. President Valentinov has proposed Constitutional Amendment 16, giving the President the power to enforce the laws, and the ability to make laws to facilitate enforcement, as well as making it the primary job of the Executive Branch to maintain foreign relations. The Prime Minister will retain the power of the tie-breaker vote for the upper house. The vote on the amendment will pass if it receives 67% of a popular vote, to which a vote will be held on November 6th, 2018.
8:30 PM - President Naum Valentinov speaks from the Maldanian Capital:
"Yugoslovenski has faced a short length of suffering in recent times, with the traitorous snake Milic destroying the very definition of our democracy by illegal measures to assure his victory. This will not be tolerated. It has become clear that our forefathers to our democracy have made a grave mistake in giving the Legislature so much power, and this has become apparent with Anton Milic's Actions. To all of our people, from Novi Pazar to Miravci, let it be known that the long nightmare is over, but the bad dreams are still here.
I have issued arrest warrants for Anton Milic, for treason, conspiracy to defraud the Federal Soviet Republic of Yugoslovenski, ballot stuffing, violation of campaign and election procedure, and direct violation of the constitution. Let it be known, these actions are not taken lightly, and are backed by the Federation of Soviet Republics, Vihoslavia, and Maldania.
I do not seek absolute power. I will strengthen the Executive Branch, and introduce free and fair elections on the first day of the new year to provide a legislature to our government that is not introduced using corruption and nefarious ideals. To anyone else who believes they will damage our great nation, let it be known that Valentinov will not stand idly by as the country dies. I will fight back, for the sake of the country, the sake of her people, and the sake of the entire region."
7:15 PM - Yugoslovenski Military Forces leave the Parliament Building under the control of Sebrenskan and Pancevo Police. Federal Police have surrendered to Yugoslovenski Military Forces - President Valentinov indicates a speech will occur at 8:30 PM tonight from Kyustendil, Maldania. The reason for this speech is unknown, though many believe that he is behind the actions happening in Pancevo and Anton Milic's personal residence.
7:00 PM - The Yugoslovenski Army confirms that Anton Milic has been arrested by the Army. There have been no further details at this time.
6:15 PM - Yugoslovenski Army vehicles, Sebrenskan Police, and Pancevo Police have surrounded the Parliament building. Several Federal Police officers have been arrested. Yugoslovenski Soldiers are shutting down the roads surrounding the Parliament
5:45 PM - Military Helicopters have been spotted at Anton MIlic's personal residence, which is located 15 miles south of the FSR border. No explanation has been given for the presence of military personnel at the compound. The Deparment of Defence has declined to respond. The actions have prompted concerns about a coup, after Anton Milic's illegitimate election two weeks ago.

Vinyan War Officially Ended
STRANA MECHTY - A conflict that has ranged on for 55 years has officially been brought to an end this weekend. If you’re confused, don’t be; it’s not common knowledge that by legal definition Viynan War never officially ended. While official fighting ceased on November 6th, 1963, the armistice that stopped hostilities never contained an official language pertaining to a peace treaty. Therefore in legal terms the Vinyan War never ended.
Of course, for all intents and purposes it did 55 years ago. And while it was mostly a symbolic gesture, it was a meaningful one for the leaders of Jedoria, Andor, and Tír Glas to gather in the Jedorian capital to sign an official end of the war. The Vinyan War had it’s origins in a border despite that harkened back to the days of the Tyrannian Empire, but it wasn’t until the rise of communism in Jedoria in 1954 that the dispute finally boiled over into real action. The Socialist Republic of Jedoria invaded what was then legally Andoran soil, specifically the lands of Zavijava and Nesedana inhabited by ethnic Jedorians. What became known as the Vinyan War erupted as Galenic and Tyrannian military forces intervened to prevent a total Jedorian takeover of Andor. Involving well over half a million men and some of the largest powers in Septentrion, the fighting bogged down into a war of attrition which was eventually ended by an armistice which granted Jedoria the claim to Zavijava and Nesedana, territory which it still controls to this day. Occasional clashes and skirmishes broke out between Andor and Jedoria over the following decades were common but never escalated beyond that.
Andor survived and eventually grew into a stable and prosperous democracy, while the Socialist Republic went on to wage even more destructive wars before it in turn collapsed into civil war. While not officially stated, it is widely believed that the Galenic states supplied and trained the Combine Rebels in their efforts to overthrow the Socialist Republic. Relations between the recently established Federated Combine and the rest of the Galenosphere were complicated however by Jedorian ties to the Able Vigil Accords, which Tír Glas has long has a tumultuous relationship with. It was not enough however to prevent the summit which has officially ended the Vinyan War, nor diminished rumors that Jedoria may soon find itself a member of the Vinyan Defense Community lead by Tír Glas.
Present to sign the official treaty was Archon Jaan Kask of Jedoria, Prime Minister Kevin Murphy of Andor, and Queen Jane I of Tír Glas. The trio shook hands, shared smiles and embraces before sitting down and signing the official treaty, the original which will be kept in the Federal Archives in Strana Mechty while duplicates will be sent to Andor and Tír Glas. Speaking to reporters in a press conference following the ceremony, the Archon spoke of peace and hope for a brighter future.
“It has been a great honor and privilege to stand where I am today, resolving the problems of the past and looking to the future, which is full of hope and peace. A decade removed from internal strife of great magnitude and the Federated Combine has taken a further step in ensuring peace and prosperity not just for our people, but all people of Vinya. I am honored to stand her with Her Majesty and the Right and Honorable Prime Minister and share this historic occasion, just as I am proud of my people and how far they have come. We have the potential to do many and great things for the betterment of us all, and I consider myself blessed to have the opportunity to take part in these efforts.”
The official treaty is one of several recent endeavors by the Kask Administration to ease Jedoria out of it’s historic role as an expansionist power in Vinya. Earlier this year the Jedorian Federal Forces dismantled the last of it’s border fortifications among the Kolodiyan border, and in 2017 tore down several monuments constructed by the Socialist Republic meant to venerate the Communist state. However, there remains concern regarding the future stability of Vinya given the continued tensions with Vyzhva, Artsakh, and Ehustanni.
