AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEU Sanctions & Travel Impact: The EU has agreed to remove Russian-linked billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from its sanctions list, while extending restrictions on roughly 3,000 other individuals and entities for three years—avoiding an expiry deadline. Local Angle for Luxembourg: Luxembourg had pushed to delist Fridman (who has a major claim over frozen assets), and the deal was reached only after intense last-minute talks and Latvia’s earlier opposition. EU Council Decision: The Council extended Ukraine-related territorial-integrity sanctions until 22 Sept 2029, with travel bans and asset freezes continuing for the wider group. Culture in Luxembourg: CinEast 2026 (Central and Eastern European Film Festival) announces its programme reveal for 24 Sept at Cercle Cité, with the opening ceremony on 14 Oct at Kinepolis Kirchberg. Transport & Mobility: Infrabel apologised for rail disruptions during Brussels’ Car-Free Sunday due to maintenance works. Sports & Leisure: Mondorf-les-Bains’ velodrome project is set to expand into a full sports complex by 2029, including a swimming pool and school facilities.
