BRUSSELS – The EU Member states did not give the green light for opening new negotiations chapters with Serbia in June, but agreed to hold an intergovernmental conference, during which a new negotiation methodology and next steps in the process will be presented, media reported. According to...

EU will not be opening a new chapter/cluster with Serbia in accession negotiations, instead they will move to adopting the new methodology. We don't know if there will be anything new with Montenegro.
EU progress reports won't come until October, so other prospective members (Albania and North Macedonia still have time).
There hasn't been any major news regarding NATO summit, but new Israeli Parliamentary Speaker is apparently a Kurdish Jew, so that's cool I guess. The only thing of notice is that Turkey has agreed to assist the Afghan government, replacing rest of NATO, but that happened two days before the Summit, so w/e.
With no invitations of a new member, and EU's refusal towards Biden's desire for a sped up process of integration of Western Balkans into EU, we will likely see a further focus from US on the regime change attempts in Belarus. At least the lack of a new member to NATO means Orban will likely lose power in the next elections, as the
polls suggest. Erdoğan on the hand seems to have gotten renewed protection from US due to the Afghan deal, but Biden remains committed to Syrian Kurds, so this will only negatively impact Iraqi and "Turkish" Kurds.
Also cryptos rised up a bit:
