Slavic melodrama and new Europe

Abstract

The paper analyzes the attitude of Russia to the Ukraine crisis and the actions of NATO on its borders; the relation of sovereignty and the sale of mineral wealth; the context and the concept of Serbia's neutrality and policy of non-alignment; open territorial claims of Serbia's neighbors on its territory; and unclear military-political status of Morava-Vardar approach. In particular, it highlights the importance of relations between Serbia and Montenegro, and the development of the Russian and Serbian cultural policy for future events in the Balkans and the European East as a zone of contest for supremacy in Europe.

U članku se analizira odnos Rusije prema ukrajinskoj krizi i delovanju NATO-a na njenim granicama, odnos suverenosti i prodaje rudnih blaga, kontekst i koncept neutralnosti Srbije i politike nesvrstavanja, otvorene teritorijalne pretenzije suseda na srpske teritorije, te nejasan vojno-politički status moravsko-vardarskog pravca. Posebno je istaknut značaj odnosa Srbije i Crne Gore, te razvoj ruske i srpske kulturne politike za buduće događaje na Balkanu i evropskom istoku, kao zone nadmetanja za prevlast u Evropi.
