Do You Want Peace in the Balkans? Then resurrect Yugoslavia

The American influence and Council for External Relations (CFR) has set the Balkans on its list of preventing conflicts in the survey recently released by 2018.

However, the idea, promoted by CFR, that the US is the country that can help preserve “peace and stability”, should be challenged as are the US itself and its closest NATO allies, who are currently responsible for many of the problems currently hitting the region.

These problems all stem from the violent dissolution of multiethnic Yugoslavia in the 1990s, a process that is supported by Western power and actively encouraged.

But this is not mentioned in the background document of CFR) The unblocking of the Balkan Peace Accords.

Instead, there are Russians who are suddenly viewed as the Russian “modification of Montenegro or Macedonia” listed as one of the possible scenarios in 2018, reports “RT” Transmission Periscope.

The truth is, however, that all possible points identified by CFRA, which could lead to conflict, could be linked not to Moscow directly, but to the consequences of earlier US interventions or Western-led and destabilising campaigns.

Let's start with the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Here the CFR's concern is an independence referendum under way in Republika Srpska.

But the Americans, who have backed the concept of self-determination for Kosovo Albanians as part of their strategy for the price of Kosovo from Yugoslavia and then Serbia, can hardly oppose Bosnian Serbs who vote to decide their future.

In Kosovo, tensions remain high between the Albanian and Serb population.

<x0humanization” NATO's in 1999 had to choose all of this, but it was really west, which largely promoted things with the support of the Kosovo Liberation Army and the marginalisation of moderate Kosovo voices that favoured dialogue with Belgrade.

Macedonia is another possible point. ) The CFR warns that disgruntled parts of the large Albanian minority could occur a union between Kosovo and Albania. In Montenegro, ethnic Serbs in the north still reject Podgorica's independent government and accept Belgrade's government. )

The ethnic policy “in the Balkans is interconnected”, the CFR says.

“If Republika Srpska tries to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina, some Serbs in northern Kosovo will try to leave Kosovo, and some Albanians in southern Serbia will try to leave Serbia. Some Muslims in Serbia may want to join what remains of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If Macedonia is divided, its Albanians may want a union with Kosovo and potentially with Albania and with the majority Albanian municipalities of southern Serbia, which would cause the ethnic divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Serbia “, it says in their report.

If that sounds very complicated, then perhaps you can understand why so many people in the region are nostalgic to Yugoslavia.

Germany actively supported and encouraged the division of Slovenia and Croatia by the Yugoslav Federation.

Establishing an independent Bosnia “” was more of a US project.

The US backed separatist Alija Izetbegovic and effectively sabotaged a peaceful solution to the Bosniak issue when Ambassador Siren Zimmerman persuaded Izetbegovici to refuse to sign the EU-sponsored Lisbon Agreement in 1992.

Instead of a strong Yugoslav state, there are now a number of small, economically weak states in the Balkans. This fits the U.S., with its imperial strategy of “Disvide et Imperia”. The only way Balkan problems can be solved is by going back in time.

The gradual reconstruction of a multiethnic Yugoslav Federation with full rights and guarantees for all its citizens and a friendship agreement being reached with Albania is the logical solution to current divisions.

Yugoslavia had meaning in the 20th century and makes just as much sense today./Periscopi/
