Summary: <p>In the final episode before our summer break, we dive into a cheese-based conflict between Greece and Denmark and a homophobic Hungarian law that is finally being challenged by the EU in court. Plus, we ring up Una Hajdari, roaming reporter in the Western Balkans, to try to untangle why North Macedonia has had such a rough ride on its path to EU membership. And in a special pre-holiday edition of Isolation Inspiration, we've got a bumper crop of European summer reads and a chat with Gregory Warner from NPR's Rough Translation about work culture around the world.</p> <p>You can follow Una on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/UnaHajdari" target="_blank">here</a> and Szabolcs Panyi, the Hungarian journalist Dominic mentioned, <a href="https://twitter.com/panyiszabolcs" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>The Europeans' Summer 2022 Reading List is <a href="https://europeanspodcast.com/europe-summer-2022-reading-list" target="_blank">here</a> and you can check out Rough Translation's new season, 'Work', at <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510324/rough-translation">https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510324/rough-translation</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for listening!
