🚔   Spinning and Hedging: Serbia's National Security Posture - Newlines Institute

In postcommunist Europe, Serbia stands out for its unique security posture. Following the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, Serbia was involved in a series of wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and finally Kosovo, which ended with NATO intervention in 1999. It strongly opposed Kosovo’s declaration of independence in 2008, an act that has been recognized by most other Western countries. Partly because of NATO’s overall role in this process, Serbia declared military neutrality and developed strategic partnerships with Moscow and Beijing. Simultaneously, Serbia identified EU membership as a priority, became an official candidate country in 2009, and commenced negotiations in 2014.
