Former spokeswoman NATO: Israeli conflict could leave Kosovo out of international attention

He points out that although NATO is not expected to be directly involved, global developments are affecting the alliance's strategic and political priorities in the region.

No, I don't see NATO intervene in the Israeli-Iran War, though some allies can help Israel, as they have done in the past, using their planes and ships to bring down Iranian missiles and fears targeting Israel. The US will use NATO bases in Europe to locate its ships, aircraft and tanks, ready to head towards the Middle East if necessary. Trump will surely use the NATO summit next week to seek Allied support for his policies towards Iran.

Shea says of Kloncosova.tv that NATO will stay out of conflict, but its infrastructure in Europe will play logistics role for the US.

I do not see this situation directly impact Kosovo or the Western Balkans, except that the United States and perhaps several other allies can increase security in their military embassies, companies and bases, as they can expect terrorist attacks sponsored by Iran. The US may also ask for permission to base or fly over certain countries, depending on the development of the military situation. The real problem is that we now have another major international crisis (such as the one in Ukraine), which is drawing attention and political energy away from the current challenges in the Western Balkans, especially the Pristina-Belgrade dialogue.

The international crisis recogniser warns that Kosovo can be indirectly affected through shifting international focus.

I don't see an international coalition formed against Iran. It would be politically difficult for European countries to go to war, as there is no threat or direct provocation from Iran, and Israelis only want US aid for bombings, not Europeans, in order to keep their maximum control.

He values for the clansova.tv, that the division between American and European interests makes a co-ordinated approach against Iran impossible.

Teramp is proud of the role he had in the past in mediating between Kosovo and Serbia, and has mentioned that he would like to return to help again. But geopolitical landscape is now much more confrontational and filled with crisis compared to its first mandate, so it is not certain whether Trump will have the time and focus to advance issues in the Western Balkans.

For this turbulent global phase, he questioned whether Trump would have the opportunity to seriously re-age in the Kosovo-Serbia process. /Periscope/
