Israel-Iran: How is the Balkans feeling the conflict that (s) sparked oil prices?

It has already entered 9th day of air war between Israel and Iran.

Experts from the security field tell Clankosova.tv that the Balkans are not directly on the front line of this conflict, but Kosovo, due to its ties to the US and Israel, has higher profile to be potentially symbolic objective.

As for the economic aspect, it is warned that the Israeli-Iran conflict will have negative consequences and as long as it lasts, the economic transition will be greater.

Meanwhile, regarding the oil price movement, Kosovo Oil Association Chairman Fadil Berjani argued that Kosovo will also be influenced by political developments in the Middle East.

What is the role of NATO in ensuring Balkan stability in the event of escalation of the Middle East conflict?

“In case of escalation, NATO has protocols ready for increased military and intelligent capacities in the region, as well as for co-operation with the EU in managing humanitarian crisis or possible immigration”, says security affairs connoisseur Drizan Shala.

According to Shala, the Balkans are not directly on the first line of the Iran-Israel conflict, but its vulnerability to secondary effects is real.

Kosovo, due to its clear ties to the US and Israel, has a higher profile as potentially symbolic objective. However, NATO's presence and the sustainability of Western security structures provide a considerable level of defence”, Shala said.

He adds that politically and economically, the region needs better inter-institute co-ordination, investment in cyber security and social security, and strengthening anti-traditional nationalists to minimize risks in a tense global period.

Recent developments between Israel and Iran with attacks and counterattacks are presenting a tense situation, but SIs there potential to influence the Balkans economically, especially in Kosovo?

That question about I did. tv, has responded to economic information, Safet Gerjaliu, who said this conflict will have negative consequences and as long as it lasts, the economic transition will be greater.

Gerxhaliu said Iran is the fourth power in the world in terms of gas and oil exports, and for many basic products the first item is based on oil, therefore, this imbalance between supply and demand will affect price hikes.

Until he made known three challenges that he said characterise this moment in Kosovo.

“In Kosovo are three challenges that characterize this moment, the first is the lack of state reserves for strategic products, the second is taking place at a time when we have a rise in the price of electricity, and this rise in the price of electricity and oil will certainly harm the private sector and the producer in Kosovo, and the fact that we are in a lack of political stability, where major decisions are expected to be made in parliament, and parliament has not been conditioned, I believe that it is the best reason it has caught Kosovo and the risk that it is faced by <1x>

So we need market monitoring, we need to have an orientation to create strategic reserves, but not in a corrupt but transparent way. And in the end, the possibility of increasing speculative trade should be cut off so that in the name of the crisis, prices” will be blown, Gerjaliu said.

Will the conflict affect oil prices in Kosovo?

Kosovo Oil Association Chairman Fadil Berjan for Clankosova.tv said Kosovo will also be influenced by political developments in the Middle East.

Kosovo's “oil price is certainly affected also by these geopolitical developments because Kosovo imports most of the oil”, Berjan said.

But, it calls for citizens not to panic because they are being served with the cheaper prices in the region, except for North Macedonia, which has a excise lower than us for 20 cents.

The divided world: Global Attitudes in the Iranian conflict

In the conflict between Iran and Israel, the world is divided into different attitudes. Countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and much of the EU countries have expressed clear support for Israel.

On the other side are countries that directly support Iran or that have opened anti-Israel, such as Russia, China, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen, which have supported or justified Iranian access by presenting it in response to Israel's aggressive policies, especially the Palestinians.

Some states like Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan have taken a harsh stand against Israel, condemning the Gaza bombings and blaming it for escalation of the situation.

Meanwhile, a group of countries has stood in a neutral position, calling for calm and dialogue without clearly positioning on one side. /Periscopi
