Expanding NATO's in the Balkans, would stop panserbism

Serbia's president's victory, Aleksandar Vuciq, is negative and dangerous, primarily for the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also for Montenegro and Kosovo, because he, through his allies in these countries, will present himself and Serbia as veto players in the region, says analyst from Podgorica, Zlatko Vujovic, for Radio Free Europe. And these allies were beside him on the night he proclaimed victory in the election.

Milorad Dodik from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Andrija May Persecuted From Montenegro were on stage on 17 December, when Vuciq said his Serbian Progressive Party has won parliamentary elections in Serbia.

The two, otherwise, are top officials of other countries, Dodik is president of the Republic of Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Ma persecuted is chairman of Montenegro's Parliament.

Right through them, Serbia will try to influence its neighbours' policy, Vujovic says.

The “here is referring to Mandiki's party, Dodik's actions, but also to the Serbian List in Kosovo. Therefore, Serbia will be presented as a veto player, which if it cannot control and manage the European integration process, could block it. It is very dangerous for Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo”, Vujovic says.

Dodik is a pro-Russian leader of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is under sanctions from the United States of America.

Persecuted is the leader of the late-defunct pro-Russian Democratic Front, and for years has called for the withdrawal of Kosovo's recognition from Montenegro. He also opposes Montenegro's NATO membership.

Burim Ramadani, security expert and former director of the Kosovar Intelligence Agency, says that the membership of Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina in NATO would limit Serbia's negative trends in the region, which, as it puts it, continues to promote neutrality [v.j.
