Diplomatic relations with Kadikistani Union broken


Chagny

After a declaration by Kadikistan that it no longer recognizes the grand duchy as the legitimate government of Bourgogne, its personnel in Chagny have been recalled and the grand duchy's diplomatic personnel have been ordered to leave Ivar. The foreign ministry is making arrangements for their withdrawal. The foreign ministry refused to comment on the diplomatic situation at this time.

Police remain on guard outside the Kadikistani embassy in Chagny to facilitate and assist its evacuation as necessary.

ARMY ANNOUNCES PREP FOR TRANSITION TO EMPIRE
Current reserve forces remain Elbener, active units imperial

In a scheme announced today by a public affairs officer of the general staff, active units will be placed under the authority of the imperial chain of command with officers seconded to the imperial armed forces. Reserve forces, constituting the bulk of Elben's army, will remain under Elben's direct control unless directly "imperialized" by the imperium for emergency operations. This scheme has been developed to account for Elben's conscription, with exceptions, of all adult men, who after active service continue on as a part of the kingdom's defense in depth strategies.

IMPERIAL OFFICIALS CHOSEN AHEAD OF FORMAL ELECTION
Top men chosen for offices with authority over all imperial affairs

Philippe Demai has been appointed captain-general of the new gendarmerie and Anthony Gunn MacPherson the minister of foreign affairs. MacPherson is representing the Imperium at the Pax Germania conference in Kadikistan at present. With these appointments are now added the chief of the great general staff, Reichsmarshall Igor Povorosky and the president-judge of the imperial chamber, Herr Doktor Roland zu Luge. The great general staff has authority to direct the operations of all forces under imperial control under the emperor. The imperial chamber serves as court of final resort, though certain traditional laws of the component realms of the Imperium are beyond its jurisdiction.

Great General Staff chief arrives in Bourgogne


Chagny

New Marshal of the Empire Igor Povorosky has arrived in Chagny and begun work in organizing the command elements of the new imperial high command. The marshal, who holds his rank by virtue of his appointment as chief of the great general staff, formerly served as one of Elben's top army officers, rising to the rank of colonel general. In a statement released to the press upon his arrival, the marshal is quoted as saying, "It is a great privilege to have been selected for the task of organizing the combined forces of the new empire. The martial traditions of the two kingdoms and the grand duchy will be entwined to create a new esprit de corps."

KRASNISLAVIANS SEEK GREATER AUTONOMY
Constitutional experts baffled by demands

In recent weeks, backbenchers of the legislative sejm body of Elbenese Krasnislavia have been agitating for greater autonomy for their homeland within the kingdom of Elben. Observers have noted their rhetoric has lacked substance and constitutional experts agree that the decrees and grants that bind Krasnislavia to the Elbener crown afford it the greatest autonomy in its internal affairs.

Presidential Chair of the Krasnislavia United Socialist Republic
In Cooperation with the People's Commissariat for External Affairs
Industrial Palace, 6832, Liberation Square, Kretyn

The People's Federal Socialist Republic of Kadikistan and its Workers' Government have no place in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Elben nor the framework of the Northern Tiburian Empire. Nonetheless as President of the recently emancipated Krasnislavia United Socialist Republic we can only express our support for the demand for greater autonomy of the historically Krasnislavian territories and its inhabitants. While it has been agreed during the historical Pax Germanica Conference that the Kadikistani Union will effectively drop the One-Krasnislavia Policy, this does not erase the deep historical and cultural ties between East and West Krasnislavian brothers and sisters. The demand for greater autonomy has our moral support and sympathy.

Signed,

The foreign ministry continues its travel warning to those who would journey to Justosia and Sylvania. A spokesman noted, "It is not a travel ban. We just want to ensure that those going to Justosia or Sylvania remain aware of the situation. They should register with His Imperial Majesty's embassy and avoid large demonstrations and other public gatherings. We continue to monitor the situation for further upgrades in our alert levels."

We understand your nation hasn't been too invested in the goings on of Europe lately, or remotely recently. However we wish to dispel this misinformation. Imperial national security remains pristine. Elbener citizens are welcome. God bless you. Viva Justosia.

The foreign ministry has issued a travel warning for Crotobaltislavonia. Those traveling to CBS are advised to avoid large gatherings and other large groups of people that are soft targets of narco terrorism. They should register with the embassy in Banja Luka. They should be aware of their surroundings at all times.

In addition, the interior ministry has raised alert levels along the border with CBS. Border police are reinforcing checkpoints and stepping up sweeps of rural segments of the border.

The interior ministry reports that border police repelled an incursion by narco traffickers last week at an isolated point along the border with Crotobaltislavonia. According to the ministry report, the traffickers were wearing uniforms consistent with CBS military units and operating CBS vehicles. The traffickers quickly withdrew to avoid capture. The foreign ministry is making inquiries.

"The grand duchy of Bourgogne as it exists today is what is recognized as a constituent component of the empire. Portions that have broken away and have been recognized as independent under international norms are recognized by the empire as well, though we continue to hope that differences may be cleared up and that greater Bourgogne may be reunited."

Today sees the beginning of the Imperial Post Bureau. Its primary function is to ensure universal service so that all may have access to mail services at a single, inexpensive rate. The individual postal services of the three realms shall remain independent and their functions undisturbed.

His Imperial Majesty and his foreign affairs ministers continue to monitor the situation in the Implarian Ocean. His naval assets have been put on alert and the undersea warning nets continue to monitor to ensure that the integrity of the Augustine Islands defense sectors is not breached.

At the request of His Imperial Majesty, the cardinal-archbishops of Chagny, Wyndhaven, and Eschenbach will say Mass with the intention of the success of the Jugol conference.

Bourgogne workers march, demand autonomy!
Workers in the manufacturing suburb of Saint-Imre marched through the streets, chanting slogans demanding greater autonomy for Bourgogne. The leaders claim that the grand duchy under the empire has become just another province of Elben. They demand a fully independent viceroy be created and that the emperor create a process for the eventual passing of the grand duchy to a collateral branch of his family. "Gallia is not Germania! Go home, Elbeners!"
