(3 years ago)American professor and the connoisseur of political and security circumstances in the Balkan region, Daniel Serwer, has commented on the New York Times' writing on Serbia's president's ties to the crime world, has criticised the West, as he said he is wishing that peace would be established in the region through the exploitation of nationalists. Serwer has said [...]
Serwer has said the administration of Joe Biden tilts with positionive attitudes towards Belgrade no matter what happens. According to him, Westerners are deceiving themselves and adds that they are doing so on purpose.
Western officials are deceiving themselves and doing so for a purpose. They have given up liberal democracy in Serbia, in Kosovo, in Bosnia, in general in the Balkans. And what they're doing is trying to use nationalists to preserve peace, basically, to stabilise the region. This is an idea that has always existed in the West, but it has become very prominent in President Biden's administration and it tends very much towards being positive for Belgrade, regardless of what happens”, said about Voice of America, John Hopkins University professor Daniel Serer.
Until American journalist Robert F. Worth says there are Serbs who think the situation in general is even worse than in Slobodan Milosevic's time.
Some Serbs have told me that in some ways the situation is worse than it was in Milosevic's time. Justice is more politicised than it was at the time. There is no bloody civil war anymore and this is a good thing, but Serbia is now a country where police, at certain levels and at different times, have been involved in criminal activities”, says journalist Worth. / VOA
