After 15 years of ‘independence’, it is clear that Kosovo was a stepping stone for NATO’s imperial goals

Similar to Ukraine, Serbia’s breakaway province is an exercise in the ‘rules-based order’, where rules are made up for the convenience of Western powers By Aleksandar Pavic, political analyst FILE PHOTO.

Aleksandar Vucic told the media that his government, despite being “on the European path,” will not cancel the Russian classics Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic © Nihad Ibrahimkadic / Anadolu Agency / Getty Images Serbia will not jump on the Russia-bashing bandwagon and cancel the country’s culture, President Aleksandar Vucic has told media.

Photograph Source: Boris Dimitrov – CC BY-SA 3.0 Little more than half a year has passed since Belgrade hosted the Non-Aligned Summit on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the movement’s founding, and Serbia is increasingly under fire for upholding the organization’s principles. Russia’s ill-considered invasion of Ukraine has provided US imperialism with the opportunity of a lifetime, supercharging NATO and US military expansion and transforming the conflict into a proxy war. By sending arms to Ukraine and urging it on to total victory rather than a negotiated settlement, the hope in Washington is that the war can be prolonged. The expectation is that sanctions would then have enough time to bring about the collapse of R...
