There\u2019s an ongoing hybrid war that includes the economy and the press. For example, immediately after the aggression and Russian invasion of Ukraine, the headlines of the Serbian press were filled with news regarding Ukraine\u2019s invasion of Russia. On the other hand, Sputnik\u2019s center in the Western Balkans is in Belgrade. This is why we are concerned about Russia\u2019s hybrid war not being limited to their neighbors but spreading over to the Western Balkans as well, with Serbia being such a close ally,\u201d \u2013 said the head of Kosovo\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>Kurti also emphasized that after Russia\u2019s aggression, the EU and NATO can\u2019t continue with the old ways and the old understanding of their expansion policies.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the old methods won\u2019t be able to produce a strong and flexible future, but rather a weak one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that Serbia wants European money, Russian weapons, Chinese investments, and American tolerance. But I believe that very soon, they won\u2019t be able to sit in the same roundtables as before, and soon, they will have to make better decisions. I hope that [Serbia] can distance itself from Kremlin and that it can, at last, allow the Western Balkans to join the EU and NATO. We believe that long-term peace and stability could only be ensured through an orientation towards Brussels, which is the two-fold capital of EU and NATO,\u201d \u2013 said Kurti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kurti administration has come out openly and determinately against the war in Ukraine.
