Welcome to our news section!

Unlike the rest of our website, which is available in five languages, we publish our news updates exclusively in English. The reason is simple: our news is often aimed at an international audience and needs to be published as quickly as possible. To ensure timeliness and consistency, we have chosen not to provide translations.

Don’t worry – you’re in the right place. This section wasn’t overlooked; it is intentionally kept in a single language. Thank you for your understanding!
