New York Times: Is the Kremlin using Serbia to foment war in the Balkans?

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has been called "little Putin" many times and this epithet has tired him, writes the New York Times, while emphasizing the questions that have been raised that the Kremlin can cause unrest in the Balkans through Belgrade.

The New York Times questions whether Russia, mired in a brutal war in Ukraine, is using Serbia to foment discord in Europe and spark a renewed conflict in the former Yugoslavia to distract NATO from the battle raging in east.

This fear started after Kosovo's decision to implement the reciprocity agreement.

"Unrest in Kosovo and tensions in Bosnia and Herzegovina caused by Milorad Dodik, the Moscow-backed leader, and hard-line Croatian nationalists have sent a warning that Russia is quietly trying to stoke the tensions of the wars of the 1990s . " it says in writing.

It further highlights how Putin has repeatedly cited NATO's military intervention in support of Serbia's 1999 halt to killings in Kosovo as a justification for Russia's aggression against Ukraine, which he claims is to protect ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk.

Most Western countries recognize Kosovo as an independent state, unlike Serbia, Russia, China and five European countries.
