New York Times: Demarkation between Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia, starting a new Balkan society

This prestigious gas station published an article on border disputes that exist among the former Yugoslav republics, including Serbia and Kosovo.

The year, at the end, must have been years in which Slovenia and Croatia, EU and NATO member, triumphantly finished 26 year-old border dispute in Piran Bay following an international court's June decision, but, as recalls, “News York Times”, that's what happened.

The collapse of the deal has left the EU at “the difficult situation” and “more than a anxiety” given that the agreement is supposed to be an example of a friendly solution to the conflict for all other Western Balkan countries that want to join the Union.

Brussels expects it an even harder year than that of 2017, where it has negotiated about leaving Great Britain from the EU, says “New York Times”, citing examples of long border foot disputes in southeast Europe.

There are border disputes between Croatia and Serbia on the Danube River, near the village of Batina, then with Bosnia and Herzegovina with Serbia and Croatia, as well as the open dispute between Serbia and Kosovo, Kosovo and Montenegro, and the name dispute between Macedonia and Greece, it is said further.

“The York Times” stressed that Slovenia, which became an EU member in 2004, for years blocked Croatia's accession route due to a dispute over several square metres in Piran Bay.

Analysts believe the EU has tightened the burden of cargo bearing border disputes in the region.

The dispute between Croatia and Slovenia is a sign that countries in the region may not be able to escape some wild customs such as war, according to “New York Times” /Indesksonline/
