“Russia has systematically cultivated political allies in the Balkans through a combination of financial incentives, political support, and covert operations. This influence is most evident in Serbia and Republika Srpska, the Serb-majority entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Moscow has built strong ties with nationalist leaders who support anti-Western rhetoric and policies.”
Yes.
If the EU’s reaction to Russia’s “malignant influence” will be the good old empty promises that will take two decades (if not more) to translate into some symbolic action, I think EU will lose the credibility in the region (and elsewhere).
I wonder how long it will take before the educated Serbian youth kicks Vucic to the curb. Jesus Christ, for how long will these old farts in Balkans hold onto power. It’s ridiculous.
They think, big means strong. The think, strong means stable. They think, stable is good. They will know what the big does: it eats. To be strong and stable. And what he eats are the smaller ones.
If Europe showed that it is strong in Ukraine, then the Balkans will follow along gladly.
There’s still doubts that the EU has the resolve to lead geopolitics rather than be a slave to outside influence and powers, and that is holding back its grip on the Balkans. The Balkan region given its history is extremely attentive to watching the actions of the great powers, and right now you can say that EU has maybe not a failing grade, but not exactly exuding confidence.
The EU could start with confronting its own malignant influence of pursuing the lithium mine in Serbia so that we pro EU ppl could at least stop feeling like shit for being pro EU.
