When asked how the escalation in Russia will affect the powder keg – Kosovo, Gjenero answers: “As far as the Balkans are concerned, we see great concern in Serbia. The darkest characters from the Russian military-spy-police reserve appeared on the scene, so today as a competent expert on what is happening in Russia is the former head of the Serbian army, Bratislav Dikić, who was arrested in Podgorica in 2016 for participating in an attempted coup d’état in Montenegro during the elections, when it was supposed to prevent the election of sovereign forces and Montenegro’s accession to the NATO alliance.
Colleagues in Belgrade assume that it is about the fact that, in agreement with the Russian operative, Serbia planned on June 28, on Vid’s day, to make some kind of major escalation of the problem in Kosovo, and that now, within the framework of new circumstances, Putin, whose whereabouts are not even known, all together may come into question.”
It is also interesting, he emphasizes, that one situation in Croatia went under the radar, and it happened on the same night that Prigozhin conquered Rostov and headed north towards Moscow.
“In Zvečan, if I’m not mistaken, the Albanian police forces seized an Audi owned by Railways of Serbia, which contains weapons for terrorist actions, and bulletproof vests with Russian markings are also mentioned. It is obvious that this Russian provocation operation in Kosovo was heating up in the agreement with Vučić. Now all that comes into question, and we will see if what is happening will be so strong as to reduce Russia’s pathogenic influence on the Balkans – at least temporarily,” emphasizes Gjenero.
