- Update the residence-permit "sufficient means" figure to 507,43 EUR/month
(Slovenian basic minimum income from 1 April 2026, source gov.si) across the
guide, FAQ, budget note, sample parent statement and my-route tip; replaces
the old 484,88 everywhere.
- New standalone news announcement page /<lang>/news/proof-of-means-updated-2026/
(trilingual), published 1 August 2026, with a clickable gov.si source box and a
hero image (Pixabay, credited). news.js now supports announcement items
(slug + body) and shows them newest-first on the homepage and News hub; the
image doubles as the card thumbnail. Optimised 6.98MB to 255KB.
- Switch English EUR amounts to European format (comma decimal, dot thousands):
507,43 / 9.600 / 1.000 etc. Only euro-prefixed amounts are touched, so SI/MK
(which use a euro suffix) are unaffected. New generator eurofmt.js.

Add the auto-scrolling partners marquee to all three home pages (en/si/mk) with the six official partner logos (Embassy of Slovenia in Skopje, NLB, CTK, DSMP, Kampus, Povezani), trimmed to their artwork so they size consistently.

Flags: replace flag-icons CDN with local SVGs (images/flags/{gb,si,mk}.svg) referenced as CSS backgrounds, so no external dependency and no per-page path issues. Partners: replace the static home-page logo row with a seamless auto-scrolling, hover-pausing marquee (CSS-only, reduced-motion aware, edge fade).

Complete the three remaining Macedonia stories with sourced photos, so
both country sections are now fully illustrated.
Articles (EN/SI/MK each), placeholders replaced with real images:
- A Table Full of Macedonia (shared table, tavče gravče, ajvar,
pastrmajlija).
- Music, Dance and the Moments That Bring Us Together (oro celebration,
tapan and zurla, kopachkata, an MSOS event).
- History You Can Still Walk Through (Stobi, Heraclea Lyncestis, Kokino,
Makedonium).
Each image is center-cropped to a uniform 3:2, downscaled, and given an
attribution caption with place, photographer where known, and source
link.
Captions:
- Replace bare one-word labels with a short descriptive phrase in all
three languages, so a caption reads "Kokino, a prehistoric megalithic
observatory" rather than just "Kokino". Applies across the food,
culture, and heritage stories.
- Support an author-only credit with no external link, used for the
photo from the MSOS archive.

Complete the two country sections with the place, food, culture, and
heritage stories, so every hub card now leads to a full article instead
of a pending page.
Articles (EN/SI/MK each):
- Slovenia: Lake Bled Beyond the Famous View, A First Taste of Slovenian
Food, Slovenian Habits That May Surprise You, and Slovenia's Stories in
Stone and Tradition.
- Macedonia: Ohrid, More Than a Postcard, plus the earlier Skopje and
Ljubljana stories that were still untracked.
- Table, Music and Dance, and History articles for Macedonia are in place
and still use image placeholders until their photos are sourced.
Images:
- Real, sourced photos wired into every finished article, each with an
attribution caption (place, photographer where known, source link).
Images are center-cropped to a uniform 3:2 and downscaled; webp and
jfif sources converted to jpg.
- Each article's hero image is reused on its hub card.
- Welcome to Macedonia now opens with Macedonia Square in Skopje; the
Church of St. John at Kaneo photo moves to the Ohrid story.

Launch the two country sections as a cultural bridge, following the
approved Phase A spec and reusing the Events & Projects structure.
Hubs (6 pages, EN/SI/MK each):
- get-to-know-slovenia and get-to-know-macedonia
- Section header + newsletter form, 6-category filter (Places & Nature,
Culture & Traditions, Food & Flavours, History & Heritage,
People & Identity), 6 launch cards, empty state, client-side pagination.
- Five cards per hub link to articles that arrive in later batches.
Articles (6 pages, EN/SI/MK each):
- Welcome to Slovenia and Welcome to Macedonia, full text with the
auto-generated table of contents and sticky mobile header.
- Real, sourced images with attribution captions (place, photographer,
source link). Wikimedia photos also link the CC BY-SA licence and note
that the image was cropped. Images center-cropped to a uniform 3:2 and
downscaled. Each article's hero image is reused on its hub card.
Site-wide:
- Wire the For Students menu links (desktop and mobile) to the new hubs on
every page and in the header templates; rename the menu label from
North Macedonia to Macedonia (formal name kept in body content).
- Placeholder styles for images and cards still awaiting a sourced photo.
- Add caption styling for the hero image and give the article table of
contents clear separation from the footer.
