Economic impacts -- namely, rising oil prices -- are estimated to be among the first consequences after the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran. Role in this, according to connoisseurs there are separate Hormuz Straits that make up the key node in the oil trade. Influences in the Western Balkans are not excluded in terms of security and geopoliticality.
The annual oil price hike is estimated to be the first consequence expected to affect the region, including Kosovo, by the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Thus, the professor of international relations and former diplomat Lutfi Bilalli, who cited the eventual similarities to this situation in the 1973 oil crisis.
The task that connects the Hormuz Strait flows the resources that are transported or the trade of oil, I can say world, 40% goes through this strait, and this whole thing has an economic impact on other countries' markets, in this case as well as Kosovo. The second is the aspect of security risk”, Bilali has declared.
In addition to aspects of geopolitical and security, as an impact the professor also cited the eventual loss of US and EU attention to the region, as the likelihood of escalation in the Balkans assessed them small.
The important thing for us in the Balkans is that we don't have involved activities either from war, I can say, "cyber-attack," or cyberspace, which can be used right now by Iran. And it could be some kind of sabotage act that could have a terrorist effect on Iranian opponent's representatives or embassies, in this case”, Bilall said, reports Dukagini, broadcast Periscope.
In assessing the security expert, Drizan Shala, the expanded conflict between Israel and Iran could reflect on the Balkan security aspect, separately taking into account Serbia's position and its influence from Russia.
This expansion of this conflict between Israel and Iran will have direct impact on regional security, on the security of Balkan states, respectively, on collective and individual security of the respective states. Therefore, we will have to be careful, attentive, alert, because in this period in which we are talking, we can have activities of Serbo-rus spying in the context of decomposing, the actions of the sabotage in terms of collective security”, Shala said. /Periscope
