At present, the war between Russia and Ukraine has not completely subsided, and another military crisis in the European direction may break out at any time. This geostrategic game that has attracted the attention of all parties is the Kosovo issue that has never been truly resolved.
From Serbia ht Judging from the series of performances of ml2 President Vucic, this time Serbia has sufficient psychological expectations for the dangers from the United States and the West. If NATO continues to rip off Serbia as it did before, and once a breaking danger occurs, then what awaits NATO will be a swift and strong counterattack by the Serbian army.
Regarding this new round of Kosovo crisis , there are at least three major signals worthy of attention.
Trend 1: Who did it? NATO troops were unexpectedly attacked. According to foreign media reports, on December 25, a NATO patrol force deployed in Kosovo was suddenly shot by unknown forces. Fortunately, there were no serious consequences. According to conventional thinking, the Serbian army is undoubtedly the most suspect.
Because of this, this actually triggered associations from the outside world. Judging from the comparison of military strength, Serbia, as the weaker party, does not need to take the risk of triggering a new round of Kosovo War and take the initiative to attack NATO troops. The consequences of hitting an egg against a stone can only be self-destruction.
Serbian media reported that the Kosovo police actively participated in the shooting. Their purpose in doing so was to place the blame on others and pin the "war criminal" label of provoking the military conflict on the Serbian authorities.
Earlier, Serbian Chief of General Staff Mojsilovic personally appeared at the border of Kosovo and sent an extremely strong signal to the outside world that "the Serbian army may carry out military operations at any time." As a result, war is reigniting in the Balkans. Even if it is known that it is a farce directed and staged by NATO, the US military will fully intervene and once again intervene in European affairs.
Trend 2: The major powers of the United States and Europe jointly issued an ultimatum to Serbia. Immediately after the attack on the NATO patrol, Western powers such as the United States, Britain, Germany, France, and Italy unanimously issued a final warning that the Vucic government must clear roadblocks in northern Kosovo, otherwise NATO will take direct military action.
The tougher NATO's attitude becomes, the more Vucic, as the President of Serbia, must uphold a firm stance and cannot give in even half a step on core issues involving national sovereignty and territory. Otherwise, he will be pushed out of office by the Serbian people before the war officially starts.
Trend 3: Vucic refused to give in, and Serbia began to prepare for full war. On December 26, facing the rapidly escalating situation in Kosovo, Vucic personally ordered the Serbian army and police to enter a state of full war preparedness. Milos Vucevic, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of Serbia, told Urgent that the purpose of the total mobilization of the Serbian army is to "protect all citizens of Serbia and prevent massacres and terrorist attacks in areas where Serbs live."
The Kosovo issue has a long history and is the result of many factors such as complex history, ethnicity, religion, and the international geopolitical situation. In the late 1990s, when the Kosovo crisis broke out, the NATO group put forward the famous theory of "human rights above sovereignty", portrayed itself as a "human rights defender", and carried out large-scale bombings against Yugoslavia., directing and staging a true tragedy at the turn of the century.
Kosovo War After independence, in order to avoid another military conflict, Kosovo, which was originally subordinate to Serbia, was placed under the jurisdiction of the United Nations. But in 2008, with the covert instigation of the United States and the West, the Kosovo authorities declared independence. However, this kind of unflattering political trick has basically no substantive effect except to fool people.
There are only about 90 countries that recognize Kosovo's independence. Except for a handful of American and Western countries, most of the remaining countries are little-known and small countries.
Although the Ukraine crisis is not over yet, by provoking this geostrategic crisis, the United States has successfully extended its claws to Europe, achieved comprehensive control over European security, and at the same time raised huge economic interests.The successful experience of the Ukraine crisis has made Washington immersed in long-lost joy. If it can replicate its successful experience again and expand its results, it will undoubtedly consolidate the United States' global hegemony.
From a geographical point of view, China is thousands of miles away from the Balkan Peninsula. Even if a large-scale conflict breaks out there, it will be difficult to have a direct impact on China. However, from the perspective of international relations, the exchanges between China and Serbia are profound. Their common opposition to NATO’s demands for military hegemony forms an important basis for mutual trust between the two parties. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, China provided medical assistance to Serbia as soon as possible to help it get rid of the epidemic crisis as soon as possible.
On issues related to Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Serbian government also takes a firm stance and has repeatedly stated its support for China’s efforts to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. On the basis of mutual trust, in order to enhance Serbia's national defense strength, in early 2022, the People's Liberation Army dispatched a fleet of Y-20 aircraft to transport a batch of domestically produced FK-3 missiles to Serbia thousands of miles away, giving it world-class air defense capabilities. In the future, if the United States and the West want to repeat the trick of "bombing Yugoslavia", I am afraid that China's anti-aircraft missiles will not give NATO this opportunity.
