I keep forgetting that you're a serb, but agree with you, even had a small spar with other serb, about your president, that he is corrupt, weak and many other things, my position was, look at a map, a see how serbia is surrounded by NATO, your president had keep your country alive, united, and out of harm way, that by himself is a huge achievement. other thing is how Vucic is all the time explaining things or at least I see it like that, no other leader in the "west" take the time to explain thing.
How will Russia get as far as the land bridge to Hungary? That’s across the entire country including over the Carpathians to Berehove and Tiszabecsi Határátkelőhely border with Hungary.
A fine line between survival and national interests, walked by President Vucic.
On the arrest warrant: this may be a way to prevent any peace negotiations with Putin. Much like the peace process was derailed after the charges & warrants for Slobodan Milošević were created. Putin should wear the warrant with pride.
As a Serb, I absolutely agree with your analysis. Whatever you say about Vučić, he is leading this game fantastically so far. Much better than expected. With his initiative, he has already bought enough time for Serbia to avoid the worst scenario without upsetting Russian interests. Even if he starts to give in to the pressure, it will take too much time for the west. Simply for Serbia to start introducing sanctions, it would take more than a year for their implementation. Likewise for Kosovo. Until then, many things will be different.
I read somewhere that the Serbian people, maybe primarily the young ones, have become Western oriented. That Western restaurants and lifestyle have replaced Russian ones. I hope this is not correct. Please let me know the truth. Thank you for all your excellent articles. I have each and every one you have written.
I've seen many analysis about the destruction of Ukraine's collected armies, realistically they are true, they are on their 4th or 5th one now, but that doesn't change the reality that the West keeps funding more troops (and their own western 'volunteers', how many Polish troops are in Ukraine now? 50k? 100K?) and they keep mounting offensive and defensive operations. Its like fighting a Hydra now, chop off one head, another takes its place. Perhaps Russia has once again misjudged in its mobilization efforts, they should have called up a much larger force I think.
if I may add, Serbia is trying to strengthen the army. Vučić does it very well. Of course it will take time. what I want to say is that we are working on equipping the army and purchasing equipment. We need training time.б
Btw - i think Vucic is a traitor who agreed secretly to sign over kosovo years ago. The big problem is Serbia is the people are brave but not 1 leader is a patriot
I completely concur with your argument about Serbian national interest (although I am less optimistic about Vucic as a person), that's why I cannot wait for your article about defining national interest!
P.s. may I ask to transcribe/subtitle your interviews?
