DW: Is there a chance that the meeting between Donald Trump and the Russian President will take place in Belgrade?
After the announcement that future US president Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin might meet after Trump takes office, Belgrade immediately offered to host the meeting. Is there really a chance?
People in Serbia adore Russian President Vladimir Putin, but also future US President Donald Trump - so what could be more logical than for Serbia to be the site of a historic meeting between the two? That's what Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated on Pink TV.
"We are fully prepared to guarantee the security of both presidents," Vučić said, asserting that, unlike other potential hosts of the meeting, Serbia is neither formally nor in essence a member of the US- or Russia-led military blocs.
Thus, "Little Serbia," as Vučić often likes to say, could enter the big game. If official Belgrade were to actually manage to meet the two world powers in Serbia, it would undoubtedly be a move that would also benefit Vučić.
Many people offer services.
Serbia offered itself somewhat reluctantly for the first, again “historic” meeting between Trump and Putin after Trump’s election to the first term. This meeting had been announced for more than a year and finally took place in 2018 in Helsinki. Today, Finland is not considered, because it became a member of NATO almost two years ago, at the height of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Donald Trump will return to the White House on January 20. He recently told reporters at his Florida residence with glee that Putin wanted to meet with him, adding: “We’re getting organized now.”
It almost seemed like a done deal, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov played down the issue, saying that contacts were necessary and that it was good that there was political will for a meeting - but that there were no concrete preparations yet.
In addition to Serbia, Switzerland has also offered to host so far, although not as loudly. According to the local newspaper Temps, Switzerland has signaled to Washington, Moscow and Kiev that it is ready to host them, but that the country will not officially take a diplomatic initiative.
"China is also mentioned, and there will be offers from other countries," journalist Momir Turudić tells DW. "The place should be symbolic and comfortable for both, without tension." "So it's unlikely to be in China, although Trump never knows."
Why Serbia?
Serbia, says Turudić, is almost the only European country – apart from Belarus and the aforementioned Switzerland – where Putin would still be welcome. And in which he would not fear arrest on the orders of the International Court.
“Edhe në fillim të luftës në Ukrainë, ne arsyetuam se Serbia ishte pothuajse i vetmi territor neutral, si Casablanca, ku mund të takoheshin të gjithë. “Jo sepse Serbia nuk është as atje e as këtu, por pikërisht sepse është edhe atje edhe këtu”, shton Turudiç.
Megjithatë, agresioni rus ka tre vjet që filloi dhe shumë gjëra kanë ndryshuar që atëherë. Vuçiç këmbënguli që të mos vendosen sanksione ndaj Rusisë, por Serbia – që është një sekret i hapur – e ka armatosur Ukrainën me pajisje me vlerë rreth një miliard euro.
Vuçiç vazhdimisht ka theksuar se ka kohë që nuk e ka parë apo dëgjuar Putinin, por rregullisht e ka dërguar në “misione” në Moskë skifterin e tij Aleksandar Vulin, zëvendëskryeministër. Fërkimet e fundit po vazhdojnë për shkak të sanksioneve të SHBA kundër Gazprom, pronarit të shumicës së Industrisë Serbe të Naftës (NIS). Siç njoftoi Vuçiq, Serbia ka afat deri në fund të shkurtit për të dalë plotësisht nga pronësia ruse e NIS. Por Vuçiq shpreson se me kthimin e Trumpit, këto sanksione mund të hiqen.
Duke folur për ofertën serbe për pritje, Vuçiç theksoi se Trump nuk ka pasur asnjë mbështetje të tillë askund në botë si në Serbi. Sipas sondazheve, kjo është e vërtetë – në fakt, mbështetja në Serbi ishte më e lartë se ajo që Trump pati në SHBA. Sipas një sondazhi të Gallup nga tetori i vitit të kaluar, deri në 59 për qind e serbëve “mbështetën” Trumpin, ndërsa vetëm 29 për qind mbështetën kandidaten demokrate, Kamala Harris.
Kjo është e vetmja mbështetje mbi 50% për Trump në të gjithë Evropën. Në Zvicër, si mikpritës i mundshëm i takimit, Trump u mbështet nga vetëm një e katërta e qytetarëve, ndërsa Harris u mbështet nga 61 për qind.
Serbia tashmë ka bërë lëvizje duke investuar në marrëdhëniet me Trump. Para së gjithash me marrëdhëniet e mira me të besuarin e tij të ngushtë, Richard Grenell, por edhe me dhënien e hapsirës ku gjendet Shtabi i Përgjithshëm i ushtrisë, i bombarduar gjatë luftës në qendër të Beogradit, për dhëndrin e Trumpit, Jared Kushner, për të ndërtuar hotele dhe apartamente.
“Qeveria serbe sigurisht nuk beson se administrata Trump do të ndryshojë qëndrimin e saj ndaj Kosovës. Por beson se për çështje të tilla si pozita ekonomike e serbëve në veri të Kosovës dhe mbrojtja e monumenteve dhe objekteve fetare në Kosovë, ata mund të marrin arrijnë më shumë nën administratën Trump”, tha së fundi për DW, Vuk Vuksanoviç, një studiues në Qendrën e Beogradit për Politikat e Sigurisë.
Kur flitet për një takim të mundshëm mes presidentëve rus dhe amerikan në Beograd, ia vlen të kujtohet edhe vizita e dështuar e ministrit të Jashtëm rus, Sergei Lavrov në vitin 2022. Ai deshi të vizitonte Boegradin, por anëtarët e NATO-s, Bullgaria, Maqedonia e Veriut dhe Mali i Zi refuzuan të lejonin fluturimin e avionit të Lavrovit, kështu që Lavrov u detyrua të kthehet në Moskë. Megjithatë, nëse Shtëpia e Bardhë dhe Kremlini do të planifikonin një takim në nivelin më të lartë, nuk ka gjasa që ndonjë anëtar i NATO-s të pengojë fluturimin.
In the end, the matter is still in the realm of theory and fantasy of the authorities in Belgrade: "It's hard to say what the chances are for a meeting in Serbia," says journalist Turidić. "It doesn't sound illogical, and yet it seems unbelievable."/DW
