Kosov police patrol on the border with Serbia, August 1, 2022 (photo: Reuters/FATOS byTyci) Alexander Hara, expert of the Center for Defense Strategies, told Radio NV as Serbia and its authorities confirm the theory of the need to influence the great states to observe peace in the Balkans. "I would mention the phrase of one of the leaders of the President's party, he said that Serbia would have to" fight against Nazism in the Balkans.

" Here's nothing to remind you? Danocify the Balkans and all that. Actually, they really escalate the situation, by the way, it is possible to draw a parallel with Transnistria, when by 2014 as part of this conflict, Moldova also introduced both numbers and documents were particularly related to economic activity and then there was also a lot of tension.

Of course, this is a step towards unification "" [Kosovsky] Serbs do not want it (and who make a minority there) and "older brothers" help them, but there is a KFOR factor, in fact, peacekeeping forces with 3600 military.

Their task is to maintain peace, they will not fight, but if Serbia decides to "green men" or directly by the aviation or tanks to solve the Kosovo issue, then we will remind Serbs that in Italy there are US Air Force (F-35 planes), which can quickly To give order both in Kosovo and in Serbia itself, ”Hara said.

In addition, according to the analyst, the official Belgrade was not right in the conflict in 1999, since the actions of the Serbian side, and specifically by the CP, Yugoslavia, provoked the operation of NATO "Union Power". “Something can be, but to say that now the Serbs will start such a great war and will be able to do something there, then, honestly, I doubt. It will certainly be a powerful reaction of the EU and NATO, Europeans as a whole, as it is their "sub -head".

But we will look selfish - we do not need it, not only to those people who will suffer innocent as always in the Balkans, but also for us, for Ukraine, to distract attention and the possibility of escalation there with the participation of the Russian Federation, because it will definitely wave [weapons] and to protect your semi -intelligent [comrade].

I apologize that I use such careless vocabulary, but in fact for such genocidal, tyrannical modes that live in the past, not the future, it seems appropriate for me to call it so, ” - added an expert of the Center for Defense Strategies. In addition, Hara notes that the role of great powers in the region is very important, especially they guarantee historically peace in the Balkans.

“Therefore, there is a danger, but not such a large -scale war, especially that other states, the former republics of Yugoslavia, which are there are small, but quite powerful and have something to defend themselves. Plus the role of NATO and the US will be crucial there. " "If you remember the" Great Chess "Brzezinski, where he clearly described the Balkans, that only when the external great power (empires, the great powers) controlled the region, then there was peace.

Because a large number of actors (small states) with great contradictions and long memory. In fact, they remember not only the First World War, but also the things that were before. And of course there is a constant potential for the explosion. And in fact, the priority for the EU and NATO is the absorption of these countries, the establishment of democratic procedures for resolving all conflicts there so that it does not explode.

And, by the way, the same chairman of the European Council said when he met with Serbs? About integrate them into the EU by a simplified procedure, ”he said. The analyst also noted the role of Serbia as a retranslator of Russian propaganda, from the state level to the Serbian Orthodox Church. “Until all these states are absorbed by the European Union, until all of these steam release mechanisms are established - the Balkans will remain dangerous.

Moreover, Russia nourishes these fermentation, these "dangerous demons of the" Pan -Orthodox world ", - summarized the expert. On the evening of July 31 and on the night of August 1, the attention of Europe was again drawn to the Balkans: from the submission of Serbia, partially recognized by the Kosovo state almost became a new focus of "hot" conflict in the region. NV told that it is important to know about these events and their temporary shaky settlement.

In the evening of Sunday, July 31, the tension increased every hour. Kosovo police reported shots from Serbian protesters, as well as their collisions with the Kosov Albanians (from bodily harm to car attacks). Air alarm signals in Kosovo-Mitrovitsa (Kosovo) have been reported. Against this background, Serbia authorities voiced a number of threatening statements.
