As the #US and its fellow #EU members of the Quint pressure #Pristina to offer solutions, they must either pressure or entice #Vucic to allow the northerners to decide for themselves. #Serbia must play fair too. #Kosovo. transconflict.com/2023/06/se…

#NATO now has two choices under its #UN mandate, to escort those forces back south of the River or to open the border and allow #Serbian forces to enter and provide security in the north (as allowed under 1244). #Kosovo #Serbia. transconflict.com/2023/05/na…

#Kosovo: not up to #NATO. The #US, #EU and now NATO have long acted in Kosovo as if they had the authority to act for the United Nations. Belgrade would be right to act without NATO’s permission. It’s not up to NATO but to the #UN. #Serbia. transconflict.com/2023/01/ko…

Should #Belgrade send forces into the north to lance this boil? It may be the only way to force the hand of the #US, #EU and #NATO. They have been unable to settle the status dispute in over 15 years... #Serbia #Kosovo. transconflict.com/2022/12/ko…

#NATO would be well within its #UN mandate to allow some #Serbian forces to return to #Kosovo. Perhaps this is the way to lance the Kosovo boil. #Serbia. transconflict.com/2022/12/ko…

The #EU engages in empty diplomatic theater while #Balkan disputes fester and the war in #Ukraine highlights “#Europe’s” limits. transconflict.com/2022/08/pl…

Congratulations, #Serbia – leader and model! - The #EU begins to adopt #Belgrade’s two stool approach to #Russia’s #war against #Ukraine (sort of). transconflict.com/2022/06/co…

War crimes trials: appropriate but problematic. #Ukraine #Russia. transconflict.com/2022/06/wa…

This food crisis suggests the need to establish secure transportation zones in #Ukraine to allow food to be transported. The UNGA – acting under the Uniting for #Peace Resolution – could recommend that UN members undertake such an operation. transconflict.com/2022/05/ca…

Skillful security managers can stand astride two stools indefinitely, as long as one of them does not collapse. #Serbia #Hungary #Russia #Ukraine #China. transconflict.com/2022/04/or…

#Ukraine – towards a peace agreement, part #1. #Russia #ukrainecrisis #ukrainerussiawar. transconflict.com/2022/04/uk…

If #NATO cannot act, then individual #EU countries should. #Ukraine #Russia. transconflict.com/2022/03/if…

#NATO now needs to use its collective strength to defend #Europe once more and to prevent #Ukraine from being reduced to another slaughterhouse. #Russian ground forces must be prevented from progressing further. #Russia. transconflict.com/2022/02/an…

The #Ukraine crisis and Great Power rivalry in the #Balkans - current tensions underscore the region’s geopolitical marginality. The outcome regarding Ukraine will suggest which great power is more likely to bend #Balkan actors to its will. #Russia. transconflict.com/2022/02/th…

#Ukraine, #Russia and the #Kosovo precedent. transconflict.com/2022/01/uk…

#Russia has amassed in the region of 100,000 troops on the #Ukrainian border. The intention is therefore clearly for a ground war. For various reasons, Russia is going to invade up to the River #Dnieper and then she is going to stop. #Ukraine. transconflict.com/2022/01/an…
