Is ‘Serbian resistance’ feasible in Kosovo?

Immagine
  N umerous multilateral meetings have convened to discuss the Kosovo situation. Recently, the European Political Community Summit took place in Granada. Kosovo was in focus, albeit only declaratively, as no substantive steps were taken to overcome the existing crisis and reduce tensions. The forthcoming Berlin Process Summit in Tirana is unlikely to yield a solution for Kosovo, as Germany is primarily part of the problem in Kosovo, rather than a part of the solution. The crisis escalation in Kosovo culminated in an isolated armed incident in the town of  Banjska  on 24 September 2023, where a group of local Serbs clashed with the Kosovo police. What is presently known is that the former Vice President of the Serbian List,  Milan Radoičić , has acknowledged his presence in  Banjska  with a group of individuals. According to his statement, his intention was to encourage " the Serbian population in that region in offering resistance to the daily terror they a...

  Il Centro Studi di POLIS ETICA , DEEEP (Democrazia, Etica, Educazione, Economia, Politica) ha avviato l’iniziativa denominata “ NELL’INTERESSE DEGLI ITALIANI… E NON SOLO ”. Nella Società Civile, al di là della delusione (fino all’ira) di molti nel vedere, governo dopo governo al di là del colore, non affrontati i problemi sempre più gravi del paese, insistendo su ricette che lo stanno pericolosamente indebolendo e danneggiando cittadini e aziende e che ci sono dettate dall’estero, un gruppo di esponenti, sollecitato da POLIS ETICA, si è dato disponibile a verificare la tesi che nel mondo della politica ci sia una parte consistente di persone che sono anch’esse più che preoccupate per ciò che sta avvenendo e vorrebbero trovare una via d’uscita.   POLIS ETICA ha cercato di fissare alcun punti fermi: 1. la POLITICA ha bisogno della legittimazione degli elettori, del POPOLO, cui il potere appartiene. 2. il POPOLO ha bisogno di una POLITICA che lo rappresenti degnament...

  F rom 22 August to 24 August 2023 South Africa hosted the 15th BRICS summit in an attempt to define the BRICS’s role in the global economic system. Namely, at the summit numerous documents were discussed in the presence of more than 40 heads of states and governments, in addition to the leaders of the BRICS countries, which include Brazil, India, China and South Africa and the minister of foreign affairs of Russia. As usual, this 15th summit in the history of the group also addressed the global management system and the necessity to reform the current (in the words of the participants) unjust and unequal system with a special emphasis on the need for major structural reforms of the global financial system, which has been dominated by the United State s since the  Bretton Woods Agreement [ 2 ] of July 1944 and the  Nixon shock [ 3 ], which has been present to date. The Johannesburg Summit was not ordinary by any means, as its agenda included many major issues in the lig...

  I n the fluid global order, initiatives to articulate cooperation to its best mutual outcome, as for exchange of resources and synergies are relevant more than ever. The mighty Asian triangular format of RIC (Russia – India – China) is relatively well known although underreported in scholarly and popular writings. However, the triangulation between Russia, Iran and India – absolutely underreported – is a fact and a pressing necessity, especially for Russia and Iran, the most sanctioned countries in the world. The strengthening of the International North-South Transport Corridor could implement that triangulation. The multimodal North-South corridor is 7,200 km long and makes it possible to reduce costs and times for transportation of goods, if contrasted and compared to the Suez Canal passage. According to estimates, the North-South could double the volume of goods from the current 17 to 32 million tons. Furthermore, over the past year, the reveal of the corridor has grown. So, t...
