Strander: Vucic has serious domestic problems and you can expect very soon new escalations in Kosovo

“There have been protests in Serbia almost daily since the roof crash that killed several people. Vucic has serious domestic problems and you can expect very soon new escalations in Kosovo, which is a typical Vucic’s game to distract the West and put more pressure domestically”- wrote Ivana Strander the Balkan analyst in her X. “He will again use escalate to de-escalate strategy and position himself as a pillar of stability blackmailing the West telling them- if they don’t want a crisis to spiral further they should support him. However, this is his old game and Brussels and Washington already know this boring script”. “There are rumors that Vucic might declare a state of emergency to fight chaos domestically. I don’t know if this will happen but they are already gaslighting about the “Romania scenario” and a “new color revolution” – so typical for the populist Vucic’s regime. to cause panic domestically he is also lying people about a nuclear war and shelters.” “Meanwhile, Russia is already trolling in media that Kurti is preparing a new conflict in Kosovo before Trump’s inauguration. We already know how Vucic’s regime operates and get ready for the same old same old game in the Balkans…”

Meanwhile, explosions occurred in northern Kosovo in Zubin Potok on Saturday, damaging critical infrastructure in Kosovo. The government in Pristina has blamed Belgrade and Serbian criminal groups. The US, EU and others have condemned the terrorist act in the north. (@CSSDMacedonia)
