KOSOVO - SERVIË : WHAT IF ?

The mainstream press has launched an attack on Alexander Vucic, President of Serbia. https://businessam.be/spanningen-tussen-servie-en-kosovo-lopen-hoog-op-denazificatie-van-de-balkans/

Hachim Thaci, President of Kosovo, who in the recent past was accused of war crimes and clandestine organ trafficking of Serbs and incidentally indicted for this at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2020/06/24/president-kosovo-beschuldigd-van-oorlogsmisdaden/ is suddenly a hero who can do no wrong.

Vucic, on the other hand, is head of the woods. The press makes the comparison with Putin and claims that a spokesman for the man allegedly stated that Vucic, following Russia's lead, wants to denazify the Balkans which is a false debate. In fact, that is not the issue at all.

Serbia never accepted Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence in 2008 and still considers the region to be part of Serbia, which immediately led to Serbia's President of Kosovo and the laws issued by the self-proclaimed independent country not being lawful and thus not enforceable vis-à-vis the Serbian population, which is being targeted and subjected to all sorts of irregular rules.

It is very peculiar that a number of EU member states ( including Belgium ) recognise the independence of Kosovo ( and Taiwan ) but not that of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic, which have split from Ukraine. Two measures, two weights. Why? Because different interests are at play in Ukraine.

Now, it is common knowledge that the US and NATO ( with the EU in its wake ) are very strong in provoking riots and conflicts in countries that get in the way, pose a threat and/or do not follow their rules and they do not hesitate to use certain countries for this purpose - in return for very large sums of money. The US has a long history of political interference in many countries. Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq ... just to name a few.

Vucic is getting in the way, that much is clear.

  • Vucic considered a threat to Europe https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/05/serbia-vucic-mladic-mural-lithium-china-russia-threat-europe/

  • Serbia has not joined any of the 23 EU declarations against Russia and still maintains good contacts with Putin https://rs.n1info.com/english/news/vucic-serbia-has-not-joined-any-of-23-eu-declarations-against-russia/

  • Serbia has been an EU candidate country since 01.03.2012 but does not comply with the rules imposed by the EU. Serbia refuses to stop trading with Russia and recently signed a 3-year deal with Russia's Gazprom to supply oil that it resells to other EU countries. Vucic and Putin also have plans to strengthen their energy cooperation https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/serbias-vucic-says-agreed-3-year-gas-supply-contract-with-putin-2022-05-29/ https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-serbias-vucic-discuss-expanding-energy-cooperation-kremlin-2022-04-06/

  • Serbia has the largest lithium reserves in Europe and 10% of the total world supply. Now that the West has blown all trade relations with Russia, Serbian lithium is desperately needed for manufacturing electric vehicles and batteries but Vucic is obstructive and blew a 2.4 billion lithium deal in January 2022 because the population did not want reclamation of the agricultural land where the mines were to be built

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/21/business/rio-tinto-serbia-lithium/index.html

  • Serbia's soil is also rich in numerous other minerals and raw materials such as copper,zinc,steel, silver, gold, lead, industrial sand, cement, gravel, coal, gas, salt, magnesium, selenium which in total are worth more than $200 billion. The West would love to get its hands on these Vucic is not going along with this https://www.indexmundi.com/minerals/?country=rs https://www.ekapija.com/en/news/3145079/mineral-resources-in-serbia-worth-around-usd-200-billion

Vucic is not a puppet of the West. Instead, Thaci needs the West's support to 1) keep Kosovo's independence affirmed, 2) avoid a conviction in the international court ( which would cost him his head ) 3) secure an accession to NATO https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/kosovo-parliament-urges-government-start-nato-membership-bid-2022-03-03/ and 4) of course, also trade with the West aka make deals that benefit not the country but himself.

Nothing is what it seems. The information war continues overmined.

WHAT IF the clashes between Kossovo and Serbia were provoked with the sole intention of deposing Vucic, bringing down the Serbian government and appointing in the country yet another puppet government that does dance to the tune of the West ?

This is not new and has happened many times in various countries perceived to be disruptive.

The fact that NATO is interfering in the conflict and will send troops to Kosovo while the country is not a NATO member does not bode well.

However, the West is forgetting one important factor : Putin

Russia ( and possibly China which is now also in conflict with the West and especially the US ) will step in and help Serbia. Indeed, Putin wants to establish a new Balkan union of which Serbia and Russia will be part.https://www.russia.gripe/balkan-union-make-the-balkans-great-again/
