There is a dramatic conviction in the Pristina, Tirana and Belgrade triangle that escalation of the conflict in Kosovo is only a step ahead of the adventure point. Fortunately this is just a perception. It's the form that screams and not the content that exists, it's the atomic nightmare, but it's not the real possibility. The situation in northern Kosovo is like a glass that, no matter how full, will always lack the last point that will spill and break the glass.

There is no other reason more important than international guarantees, so that conflict will not occur under any circumstances, even though all are playing war and see war as a game. Strange as it may seem, neither side wants to go to extremes. Serbs even more. No matter how provoked they are, they will never go to war, no matter how strong their weapons are and draw forces to the border. Serbs fought in 99 and lost it. And they would lose any adventure that would be planned at this extreme NATO border.

The Republic of Kosovo, home to a proud people who have never started an aggression first, has no interest in escalating the situation. The asymmetric forces that seem to be facing the border are essentially directed towards local problems, whether in Pristina or Belgrade. Both sides know well, Serbs better, that they are not sovereign enough to give way to foolishness and to leave themselves in the power of foolishness. In Pristina and Belgrade, they are convinced that there is nothing that would cause more nightmare and headache in Washington and Brussels than a possible conflict in the north of Kosovo, as long as there is a two-world war on Europe's most eastern border in Ukraine.

The reality that views the Republic of Kosovo as an irreversible reality. The Albanian political factor in this story is likely to delay the process, perhaps even distort it, but it itself is completely powerless to prevent it forever. This is the classic opportunity to accept as true axioma that in this world, evil does not come only to do harm. And that even greater confusion and confusion bring greater clarity. Where there's the strongest shadow, that's where the strongest light should be sought.

A strong man in politics, as a rule, is worth the amount of his opponents. Albin Kurti, prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo, is the unfortunate exception of this rule. His opponents still weak in Pristina and others chained to The Hague have exchanged them for an impressive list of personal critics from Paris to Berlin and from Washington to Brussels. Prime Minister Kurti has entered a spiral of discontent with two co-ponsors of the Franco-German plan, Scholz's Macron, American emissaries for the region and all that part of the West are following his actions with surprise and controversy, convinced that he doesn't place a whole house for a nosescarf. With astonishment because they find no cause in his doings, and if they refuse to receive them. In the West, they may wink and close their eyes, even though they take notes of everything, but in the West they do not forgive unpredictable and uncontrolled politicians. Especially when they rise against the priorities and hierarchy of problems they have to solve.

Edi Rama is no exception to the long list of politicians Kurti dislikes. He challenged Rama with the euphoric core of his supporters in the winter protests of 2018, faced him politically, even in the 2021 elections, and tried to do the same in the process, wanting to have “pressat” of the Balkans' most important Albanian. Part of the heroic folklore of the past, he deems that his heroic loneliness where he's locked himself makes him appear a hero even when he's a victim of himself. The relations of the Republic of Kosovo and the Euro-Atlantic community are in crisis, and Albania has neither full sovereignty to be with the West nor the cynical luxury to be equaled by the parties.

Funny attempts to find links between Rama and Vucic, theories of heroes and traitors, including Kurti himself, are the product of a kitchen that cooks the only menu Tirana knows: foolishness in domestic political warfare. Can't wait any longer. It's not the butcher's fault to advise the vegetarian menu, it's the customers who keep listening! Fortunately, at this rapidly changing time, even the Balkans themselves no longer have the chance to act as meat shop owners, and at this point, it is no offense, but the credit of Rama, when they compare his attitudes to those of, the word comes, the Dutch prime minister. As it should be, behave and act!

The crisis of more than the personal relations of Rama and Kurt is apparent and they are nearly at the point of no return. They cannot be repaired with personal shares because Rama has no way back, forced by the country's status leading, and Kurti because it's the kind of politician who can't go back.

The third climax of this local triangle, Mr. Vucic, in the eternal game inherited from the former Yugoslavia that behaved like the wife of the East and lover of the West, is doing the same today in changing geopolitical circumstances. Directly and indirectly, Vucic is using a double orientation towards Russia, identified as an enemy of the West and its interests in the region. Although his country is the only one in Europe who has not joined international sanctions against Mr. Putin, he has taken a role, however modest, in the fight against Russia in Ukraine. Soviet-era arms and ammunition used in Russian flesh are being launched from Serbia to Ukraine, and this, of course, happens at the request and permission of the West.
