A spark and war erupt, what is happening between Kosovo and Serbia?

The Serbia-Kosovo issue has returned to the spotlight of great powers. After many years in trouble, a troubled peace that was wrongly perceived as normal, the old and new Balkan guard has resurfaced on the Plains of Kosovo, “the heart beat” of two anti-tetic micro-cosms, Serbosphere and albanosphere, separated from them within the two empires bound by an ancient love-environment relationship: Russia and Turkey.

Today, within the framework of the atmosphere of World War III and the suburbs that are fraught with tension due to competitive giants between Serbia and its former province that has become a state, Kosovo, is again feeling the smell of gunpowder.

Because since competition between great powers has entered an intensive stage from the suburbs
Centered, protagonists have started moving their dolls with greater zeal. Because of tensions that are shaking the foundations of the international system, these ghosts are wandering around the Balkans.

They are able to create conflicts with unpredictable and contagious consequences, just as they were in the 1990s. Not Belgrade, the capital of a weakened and declining Serb sphere, but Pristina is already the “opener” of the former Yugoslavia and, in large measure, of the entire Balkan peninsula.

Pristina, the capital of Kosovo and the geostrategic sculpture on which the West founded during post-Yugoslav break-up a new micro-hegemonist order, an anti-Serb barrier (and therefore anti-rus):albanosphere.

Since the Kosovo Constitution and Montenegro's independence, a coup against the Serbian sphere and the dream of creating a Murmansk-Minsk-Belgrade-Bar corridor, there is no turning back. The two giants competing for Europe, the United States and Russia are aware of the irreversibility of phenomena that have reaffirmed the identity and geopolitical position of the Balkans in post-Yugoslav space.

But irreversible is not the same as invulnerable. Therefore, Russia has started in recent years to conduct divisive operations between Banja Luka, Podgorica, Pristina and Skopje. Target: to increase Washington's spending on preserving its latest achievements.

In Russia's (residence) vision, the boycott of the Balkan agenda of the United States inevitably stems from sowing the seed of conflict at the hot spots of the Serbian sphere of Bosnia and the Serbian entity of Albanosphere, currently divided Macedonia and vulnerable Kosovo.

And right at this one, while in the center of the spotlight is Banja Luka's desire for secession from the Bosniak federation, Washington and Moscow are dismissing part-time tensions accumulated in recent years.

Let's take turns. In September 2021, the license crisis erupted. Russian advisers were photographed under the company of Serbian soldiers. Serbian Army Set Up
on high alert, while in northern Kosovo regions, there were attacks on institutions on the part of ethnic Serb residents.

In April of this year, the long war wave in Ukraine reached the coast of Albanosphere: new incidents in the majority Serbian provinces in Kosovo, as Albin Kurti's government reacted through the hypothesis of an accelerated NATO entry.

This month, the White House sent the Kremlin a symbolic but very significant warning: NATO members surrounding Serbia placed a <x0ndrembargo” on the plane that would take Sergey Lavrov to Belgrade, forcing him to cancel the visit.

Moscow's side had a lot of anger. But the Kremlin cannot do anything: the heavens and lands surrounding Serbia are owned by the Atlantic Alliance. Any attempt to bypass that invisible wall is impossible. Writing and talking about what happened on June 6 is essential.

For much is written on this matter, but few things are explained. It was not just a strong diplomatic act that adapted to the context of the war in Ukraine. It was a meaningful message towards the Kremlin, not Lavrov. That day, after months of observation without visible participation, the United States reacted to divisive Serb-Russian operations in Albanosphere.

And they did it with foresight, avoiding putting gasoline into the fire at a very tense moment, and ordering allies to send Russia a symbolic but very strong signal on the rebirth of the Atlantic Alliance.

By June 6th, and over the last 2 years, except for the Special Normalisation of Serbia-Kosovo reports during the era, the United States had not intervened in jobs and events at the southern edge of the Iron God, which has been entrusted to Turks, Israelis and Germans.

But the escalation of competition among the great powers, symbolized by the outbreak of war in Ukraine, has changed things and forced the White House to display its presence where it is wanted.

So making Serbia unattainable for a whole day, the United States wanted to remind Russia that Kosovo is and remains NATO's red line, a major strategy point for the Balkans, and that if it is intended to trigger a conflict, like a war or a rebellion of Serb majority provinces, Moscow will have no opportunity to send (directly) weapons and mercenaries to Serbia.

So it was a technical test for future conflicts.
