Clark: Serbia wants Kosovo's north and divide Bosnia to create “Greater Serbia”

Retired American General Wesley Clark accused Serbia of serving Russia's interests, a state that has begun the large-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine over two years ago.

Clark ) who has led NATO's air campaign against Serbian military targets in 1999, which led to Kosovo's liberation, said Serbia wants to take over the northern part of Kosovo and split Bosnia and Herzegovina, to create “Greater Serbia”.

Russia's <x0... hands are felt in the Balkans. Serbia is Russia's wing in the Balkans. Serbia serves Russia's interests. President [Serbian, Aleksandar] Vuchy's smart. He's trying to look like he's playing with two doors, but when the time comes, he'll do what Putin wants him to do. And what he wants from Putin, of course, is the authority to use his troops in Kosovo, at least take half of the northern part of Kosovo and perhaps more. At the same time, they want to divide Bosnia, take Republika Srpska and do Great Serbia. All this has to do with ethnic cleansing in the Balkans”, Clark said on CNN.

Speaking of NATO's intervention in Kosovo, he said it was crucial, criticising the alliance that it is not doing enough to help Ukraine, which is facing Russia's invasion.

“NATO must do more. See Kosovo's example today, 25 years of democracy, free state. So should Ukraine, we can save Ukraine if we get up and do it. This is our task”, Clark said.

He added that if NATO “calon” in Ukraine, then problems from there would be carried to the Western Balkans.

Even earlier, officials in Kosovo have accused Serbia of helping Russia open a new front against the West.

Serbia, which keeps good reports with Russia, has so far refused to impose Moscow sanctions due to the war in Ukraine. But Belgrade has voted for several resolutions in the United Nations that have condemned Russian aggression against Ukraine.
