Vučić "set fire" to Montenegro because of NATO

No one could say with certainty that what began in 1990 was an abandonment or flight from Yugoslavia. Many people believe that Milošević's Greater Serbian policy was a model for driving people out of Yugoslavia.

All republics were accused of destroying Yugoslavia, while Greater Serbian policy was openly propagated and Greater Serbian territorial claims were clearly stated. If anyone does not remember those years, Serbia was from Triglav to Tokyo.  

Kosovo squared

Throwing Tito's photographs underfoot and hanging Milošević's on the same nails was recorded in dozens of incidents.

If anyone had been interested in preserving Yugoslavia, they would have first protected Bosnia and Herzegovina, rather than destroying with crimes the millennia-old fabric of a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state, rare in the world.    

The recent statement by the president of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Vladimir Kostić, that Kosovo is lost, seemed as if it had been pre-arranged, because Vučić was the only one who was not too upset by these claims.  

If Kosovo is lost, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are not lost for the traditionally aggressive Serbian policy. The announcement that Montenegro would join NATO only revealed the real background of Vučić's new policy. Until then, a peaceful country was overnight set ablaze by demonstrations and mono-national demands for the removal of a legitimately elected state leader.

Today, many are worriedly asking whether Vučić has taken the opposite path from Milošević, admitted that he lost Kosovo, and turned his sights on Montenegro. Bosnia and Herzegovina is safe for them for now, so they are not in a hurry. Belgrade, with its proxies here, can always create powerful obstructions and blockades of any serious reforms and Euro-Atlantic integrations.

The United States and the European Union, without much hesitation, ban political movements around the world that oppose democracy and basic political freedoms and human rights. In the Balkans, they have some Dayton-style manners, according to which all blockades and all types of violence against the law and sovereignty of states are possible.  

Democracy to be taken with a pinch of salt

It is unlikely that any former Yugoslav republic would have sought independence had Milošević's hegemonic, criminal policy of Greater Serbia not appeared on the scene. Today, it is like the nineties. The same methods, with a bit of democracy to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Neither Montenegro nor Bosnia and Herzegovina would be running so happily into the embrace of NATO, were it not for this kind of Serbian policy. So, in 1992 we had expulsion from Yugoslavia, and now we have being driven into NATO. Are they in Belgrade really sure about the reach and goals of their policy?
