The first Serbian objective has been proclaimed to be the strengthening of Serbia’s influence through destabilizing instruments in Kosovo. Destabilization aims to include, in addition to the north, which is in permanent instability, the destabilization of the country’s institutions and the incitement of multifaceted conflicts within Kosovo society. So, keeping Kosovo in permanent destabilization, by putting pressure on the rebellious north and by destabilizing Kosovo’s state institutions and society as a whole, is Serbia’s main strategic objective.

Serbia facilitates instability

Why does Serbia insist so strongly on maintaining permanent instability in Kosovo? Because, according to new and applicable theories of state building, unstable states, especially failed states, are legitimate objects of foreign intervention. Failed states pose a risk to regional and international stability, because in that case they can become a haven for non-governmental agents such as terrorist organizations.

3 goals

Consequently, Serbia’s only chance 1) for greater intervention in Kosovo’s affairs, 2) for annexation of the north (with versions of Abkhazia, Ossetia, or even Crimea) or 3) for its complete reconquest, can only increase in the event of the complete failure of this state, and certainly not in the event of Kosovo becoming a stable and successful state.

The fact that the north of Kosovo remained outside the de facto authority of UNMIK from 1999 until the country’s independence (2008) has enabled Serbia to create strong destabilizing instruments on the territory of Kosovo. When it completed the process of creating a Serbian entity in the north (with the burning of customs posts after the declaration of Kosovo’s independence), it accepted the Brussels process to implement what it had gained on the ground.

The EU doesnt recognize Kosovo as a state

Therefore, Serbia has used the Brussels process to legalize its influence within Kosovo and, further, to use that card to destabilize Kosovo’s state institutions. Based on these combinations, Serbia (assisted by the European Union, due to the fact that the EU does not recognize Kosovo as a state) already has the card of provoking instability in its hand, both with and without the community of municipalities with a Serbian majority.

Permanent destabilisazation

So, the permanent destabilization of Kosovo has been constructed and calculated for a longer term until the moment when Serbia considers that that destabilization represents the momentum for some new form of its return to the failed Kosovo, supposedly to help its “stabilization”.

Increasing Serb birthrate in the northern enclaves

The second point of Serbian objectives has to do with the creation of appropriate psychological, social and economic instruments to increase the birth rate of Serbs in Kosovo. Of course, this is an old Serbian policy, but the fact that it is not abandoned reveals the consistency of Serbian policy in its aims towards Kosovo.

Controlled migration of Albanians from Kosovo to Europe

Linked to the fourth point of these objectives, which insists on encouraging the mass migration of Albanians from Kosovo to Europe, this measure becomes even more serious, as is complemented by the other objective, the third in line, which aims at the Serbization of the Gorani and, possibly, the return of the Bosniaks of Kosovo to the Serbian orbit of political and cultural influence.

Strengthening the Russian influence

The fifth point of these objectives joins the first, having in mind the strengthening of Russian influence in the Balkans, including in Kosovo, but here combining it with the growth of anti-American sentiments among Albanians. While the sixth point of these objectives aims to revive Milosevic’s previous idea of ​​a Serbian-Greek alliance, which he had called “oxygen for Orthodoxy”.

The aim of such an alliance, which would be aided by a re-empowered Russia, would be to keep the Albanians under pressure, in a kind of iron sandwich, from Greece from the south and from Serbia from the north. And with Russia on top of them.

A completely superficial analysis of these Serbian objectives reveals that they are real projections, which could even be realized if things go wrong in Kosovo. The destabilization of institutions has already produced concrete consequences in our society, as well as considerable damage to the image of Kosovo as a stable state. With this despair that has plagued society from instability, which is hindering both economic development and the country’s integration into the EU, the massive migration of Albanians from Kosovo is real.

It could go as far as halving the Albanian population in Kosovo, which would create a different demographic ratio, naturally in favor of the Serbs. Meanwhile, the growth of Russia’s influence with its destabilizing spirit is also evident. This destabilizing spirit has also been accompanied by the outbreak of a wave of anti-Americanism. The other points of this plan seem clearly integrated and with concrete functions for increasing the influence, presence, and even the return as Serbia’s tutor in Kosovo, in case Kosovo slides towards failure as a state.

In case of failure of Kosovo as a state, especially if it risks becoming a breeding ground for extremism and terrorism, Serbia would inevitably take custody of it. Therefore, all those who, for whatever proclaimed reasons, cause the destabilization of state institutions and depress Albanian society in Kosovo, are grist to the mill of these Serbian objectives, which, although not made public, are being implemented concretely.
