Crimean scenario in Kosovo. As Putin ignites the war in the center of Europe

In Kosovo there is a conflict capable of developing into a real war. The situation is heated by Putin, who is a very profitable fire in the center of Europe - it will divert attention from what is happening in Ukraine, writes journalist Orest Sohar. Putin is torn in peacekeepers. To do this, a new war chief of US military intelligence and a well -known scientist wrote an important article about another unbalanced startup Fuhrer - the second hot spot on the European Continent in Europe.

And remembering Israel, then the third. "The Big Bang is rising in the center of Europe," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, hinting at Serbia and Kosovo. In order to blazes, the Kremlin heats up ethnic and religious conflicts between the two countries, supplies weapons to the Serbian regime and at the same time put it on a needle of cheap gas and oil. At the end of September, Serbia launched troops and heavy equipment at the border with Kosovo.

The "temperature" of the current conflict goes beyond the traditional tension of past years. The leader of the Kremlin policy is Serbia President Alexandar Vuchich, a hard -working Serbian nationalist. During the Balkan wars of the collapse of Yugoslavia, he was a minister of information in the team of Slobodan Miloshevich. "Slobo" died in prison in the International Criminal Court before the sentence was issued, while Vuchich was able to integrate into modern Serbian policy.

The current leader of Serbia is about to implement in Kosovo "Crimean scenario": avoiding a large -scale invasion, Vuchich (according to the Kosovo government) can use "green men" to capture control of Northern Kosovo, as Putin did in Crimea. The purpose is to destabilize the country and humiliate NATO.

Performing the "homework" of the Kremlin, Vuchich also receives his own political benefit from chaos in the Balkans - distracts from his own internal political problems, suppresses anti -government protests and deal with "colored revolutions" in the embryo. It is also traded with the Western countries, promising to weaken tensions if the event gives money again.

Muscovy views the Balkans as a vulnerable subcortical of Europe, and the Bunker Supreme Commander claims the role of a participant in the conflict in the Balkans. The calculation is to get levers of influence on the Western powers. In the end, if the peace in the Balkans depend on NATO, NATO officials may have to make concessions to Moscow if they want to avoid war. Pushing the Balkans to the border, he also hopes to show that NATO is a paper tiger and will not act when there is such a need.

Even if NATO repels Serbia, Putin can still win: by opening another front, the event will have less opportunity to help Ukraine - Foreing Affairs. The Kremlin has other reasons to maintain chaos in the Balkans: he uses the so -called Kosovo precedent to protect his illegal invasion of Ukraine. Like, the annexation of the Ukrainian territories is justified by Kosovo's independence. The irony is that Muscovy does not recognize the independence of Paste.

Vicich is converted to Putin into imperialist faith. Both are the leaders of "traditional cultural values", stand for conservative Christianity and against the liberal West. In Serbia, the creation of the "Serbian World" - the Balkan equivalent of Putin's "Ruskave Mira" - is called to unite all Serbs, including in Kosovo, in a common Serbian cultural structure. Both states even have fundamental myths rooted in the territories they would like to capture.

The emergence of another Great War Playground would be a great gift for Putin, who wants the West to distract from Kiev. In order to protect Europe and stop the Kremlin, it is important that NATO strengthens its Balkan flank right now as long as it is still low. Otherwise, Vuchich will continue to "test" the Alliance, trying to prove his toothlessness. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
