SMEDEREVO, Serbia (Reuters) - Serbia could play a significant role in Beijing's ambitious plan for a new "Silk Road" to boost trade with Europe, Asia and Africa, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sunday.
Florida Assistant State Attorney Kenneth Lewis was suspended on Friday after insulting the city of Orlando on his Facebook page, WESH-TV reported.
Lewis first posted the disparaging remarks on Sunday, hours after the mass shooting attack at the Pulse nightclub that left 49 people dead and 53 others injured.
“The entire city should be leveled. It is void of a single redeeming quality. It is a melting pot of 3rd world miscreants and ghetto thugs,” he wrote. “It is void of culture. If you live down there you do it at your own risk and at your own peril. If you go down there after dark there is seriously something wrong with you.”
Officials with the state attorney’s office said that Lewis’ post violated its policy regarding social media, and could be grounds for termination.
Lewis also attracted criticism in 2014, when he sent a Facebook message stating the following:
Happy Mother’s Day to all the crack hoes out there. It’ never too late to turn it around, tie your tubes, clean up your life and make difference to someone out there that deserves a better mother.
He later called it “an inspirational message.” He was subsequently forced to undergo sensitivity training and was temporarily reassigned.
In another post, Lewis suggested that Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor would be working for McDonald’s had she not benefited from affirmative action policies.
“Reason enough why no country should ever engage in the practice of Affirmative Action again,” he wrote. “Where would she be if she didn’t hit the quota lottery? Here’s a hint: ‘Would you like to supersize that sir?'”

Pakistan Reopens Main Border Crossing With Afghanistan After Fighting Subsided by webdesk@voanews.com (Ayaz Gul)
Pakistan reopened the busy Torkham border crossing with Afghanistan for traffic Saturday, a week after deadly clashes between the two countries prompted the closure, stranding thousands of travelers and trade convoys on both sides. Pakistani officials say Afghans with valid travel documents are being allowed to cross while trucks carrying trading goods have also resumed their cross-border journey. The border skirmishes erupted over Pakistan’s construction of a gate to prevent terrorist and other illegal movement. Afghan authorities insisted the construction was taking place in a disputed territory and violated mutual understandings. Islamabad rejected the allegations, saying the facility was being built 37 meters inside Pakistan. Officials say the gunfire left at least four soldiers dead and more than 40 people wounded, including civilians, on both sides. Afghanistan and Pakistan blamed each other for initiating the conflict. The firing subsided after Islamabad and Kabul agreed to seek a settlement through diplomatic means. The Afghan government announced Friday the deputy foreign minister, Hekmat Khalil Karzai will travel to Pakistan “very soon” to discuss the Torkham crossing issue. A Pakistan Foreign Ministry statement said Saturday the Afghan delegation will visit Islamabad Monday. “Pakistan welcomes the visit and looks forward to meaningful deliberations through a constructive engagement between the two sides with a view to promoting bilateral relations as well as peace and stability of our two countries, and the region,” it said. Businessmen in landlocked Afghanistan say they have suffered losses amounting to $10 million due to the weeklong suspension of the traffic at the Torkham crossing. Nearly 60 percent of imported goods enter Afghanistan through the border crossing, say traders. Some 2,000 trucks carrying commodities and other goods cross the Torkham point every day.

Pro-Moscow Group with Ties to Putin Administration Appears Behind Bulgaria’s Switch on NATO and Russiaby paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)
Paul Goble
Staunton, June 18 – Ten days ago, Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev gave a tough pro-NATO and anti-Russian speech in the European Parliament; two days ago, his prime minister Boiko Borisov said Sofia would not take part in a proposed NATO force intended to counter Russian forces on the Black Sea.
In between those two events was a meeting of Bulgaria’s “Russophile” organization, a 34,000-member group with close ties to Moscow and the upper reaches of Russian security services and one totally opposed to Bulgarian cooperation with NATO and Western sanctions on Russia.
That meeting, as US-based Russian commentator Kseniya Kirillova points out, was reported only sparingly in Russia and Bulgaria but a report about it was featured on the homepage of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISI) that was set up by the SVR and is now attached to Putin’s Administration (nr2.com.ua/blogs/Ksenija_Kirillova/Rusofily-otkalyvayut-Bolgariyu-ot-NATO-120937.htmland riss.ru/events/31606/).
The RISI report specified that the Russian delegation to the “Russophile” meeting included Aleksandr Vasilenko, a United Russia Duma deputy, Aleksandr Fomenko of the Russian Writers Union, Russian diplomats, education officials, and a senior advisor to the RISI director.
Under normal circumstances, perhaps, one might see such a delegation and such a meeting as nothing more than things designed to promote cultural cooperation between two historically close peoples. But the meeting as reported by RISI clearly had more immediate political goals involving NATO and sanctions.
The 600 delegates to the session, RISI noted, adopted “a sharp declaration” categorically condemning “aggression toward Russia” and the June 8 speech of President Plevneliev. Nikolai Malinov, the president of the Russophiles group, told the meeting that polls show that “82 percent of the Bulgarians are Russophiles” and demanded that Sofia reflect on that.
Indeed, Malinov insisted, “to be a patriot in Bulgaria means to be a Russophile.”
This meeting and RISI’s involvement with it are among the most blatant of Moscow’s current “soft power” moves in Europe to try to undercut NATO and divide Europe. They are a reminder of the means the Russian government is prepared to use and how effective such “below the radar” actions can be in particular countries.
