(8 years ago)Former Chief I CIA for the Balkans, Steven Mayer, in an authorial writing in eeekly writes about policy pathology in the Balkans. In this writing, he says Balkan politicians suffer from the idea that they are powerless in the face of the West, Periscopi broadcast. According to him, Kosovo President Hashim Thaci best shows this and [...]
For more than a year, tensions in the Balkans have increased. There have also been many individual cases stemming from a pathology that allows them. As a result, a large part of the Balkan countries is moving to a path of economic impasse, which leaves no space to solve political problems, and this has resulted in weakening security and creating many other managers, he writes, broadcast Periscopi.
Patology is what defines the Balkans, political forces, pressure and circumstances in which the political reality in the Balkans is realized.
The “Actions of Russia and the United States of America, under the circumstances of the lost chance of early 1990s, lead to a kind of Cold War. Now, the Cold War is taking place in the Balkans, in particular in Serbia. Moscow has established a humanitarian centre in Nis, which would have to enable a natural opening to Russia and the US in terms of the diplomatic front. America and Russia are waging an intelligent struggle among themselves in the Balkans, and this is also used by the media in the Balkans to hit each other”, he writes, broadcast Periscope.
According to Mayer, in fact, the West has never understood the problematic nature of ethnic issues in the Balkans. He says the Western powers' decisions led many states to declare independence, referring here to Montenegro and Kosovo.
The “Liders in the Balkans have a strange desire to satisfy Western powers, saying they themselves are very weak and too small to take care of themselves. In this way they have installed a weak psychology in their countries. So Balkan leaders have no concerns about the consequences of their decisions”, writes Mayer.
The Balkan “Liders hide behind their psychological or institutional weakness, they fear mistakes and create constant panic”, he writes.
This is why they promise a lot and make little, they are forced to stop decisions and they can never make it. They never take risks, they negotiate outside the public. For this, perhaps the worst example is the failure of the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo to get the fate in their hands, in this way Thaci and Vuciq already clearly hope in a solution supported by Trump and Putin”, Mayer writes. /Periscopi/
