Germany has announced it will drop a gas storage fee introduced during the energy crisis of 2022, after eastern EU members warned the increased cost of imports from the west was forcing their continued reliance on Russian gas.

According to literary history, the term “čaj” (tea in Czech) appears in the early 18th century, at the same time as “káva” (the Czech word for coffee), when the Czech land...
