Former footballer Lukas Podolski expanded his “Mangal Döner” chain, opening a new outlet in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. The football icon, in collaboration with partner Metin Dağ, already manages 20+ doner shops across Germany. Podolski, confident in the quality of their offerings, dismissed concerns about pricing and emphasized the fair value. He expressed optimism about Galatasaray’s championship prospects in Türkiye. At the opening, Podolski personally prepared doner kebabs for fans, drawing attention from both the media and fellow player Max Kruse.
Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.
The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.
Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.
Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
