IS SERBIA CLOSER TO EEU, THAN TO EU?

EEU ASTANA SUMMIT MAY AGREE ON EEU-SERBIA TRADE REGIME UNIFICATION

The decision to launch negotiations on the trade regime unification agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and Serbia may be made at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council's meeting in Astana on May 31, Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov said Monday.

НЕМЦИ ПРАВИЛИ СУПЕР ТОП - РУСИ УШЛИ У БЕРЛИН, А САД И АМЕРИКАНЦИ ПРАВЕ СУПЕР ТОП ... ПРОТИВ РУСА И КИНЕЗА!

Пред инвазију Француске 1941. године Хитлер је захтевао да му се направио топ који ће моћи да се носи са утврђењима чувене Мажино линије. Ипак на њега је чекао годину дана после пада Француске а производња је започета у погонима немачког Крупа. Висок 4 спрата, дуг 47 метара, са тежином 1350 тона, топ Густав је испаљивао гранате тежине 4,5 тоне. Топ је представљао поклон Крупа немачкој војсци. Свој деби је имао против кримског града Севастопоља где је испалио 300 граната. (Извор: Њузвик Србија)

ТУРНИР ПРИЈАТЕЉСТВА – БИЈЕЉИНА 2016 И ЈОШ МАЛО ОКО ТОГА

Како пише на званичној електронској страници Турнира пријатељства – „Турнир пријатељства је међународни фудбалски турнир у Бијељини, основан са циљем да на једном месту окупи најбоље клубове из региона. Сви учесници су смештени у Етно селу Станишићи, које поседује јединствен амбијент и пружа врхунске услове за одржавање једног оваквог такмичења.

Турнир је први пут одржан 2014. године, а већ у премијерном издању је доживео велики успех и огроман одјек. Најбоља потврда тога је реакција европске куће фудбала (УЕФА) која је Турнир пријатељства уврстила у званични календар и дала му велику подршку.

Такође, од 2016. године, УНИЦЕФ је званично подржао Турнир пријатељства.“

ГМО АЛАРМ - СУПЕРБАКТЕРИЈА КОЈЕ СУ СЕ ЛЕКАРИ НАЈВИШЕ БОЈАЛИ ЈЕ УПРАВО СТИГЛА У С.А.Д.

CRE супербактерија отпорна на "све" антибиотике

Истраживачи су, по први пут, открили особу која носи бактерију отпорну и на најјаче антибиотике, што је, како кажу амерички званичници из области јавног здравства, догађај који зове на узбуну, јер може да значи „крај пута“ за антибиотике.

Раса отпорна на антибиотике је пронађена прошлог месеца у урину 49-тогодишње жене из Пенсилваније. Истраживачи Министарства одбране су утврдили да она носи расу бактерије ешерихије коли (E. coli) отпорну на антибиотик колистин (colistin), како се наводи у резултатима истраживања објављеним у четвртак у публикацији Америчког удружења микробиолога „Антимикробски агенси и хемотерапија“ (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy). Аутори у навели да откриће „најављује појаву бактерије потпуно отпорне на широк спектар лекова“.

EU NAZI ROOTS

The European Union is now considered to be the standard of democracy, liberalism and human rights. Yet even though everything might be in order with the component of liberalism, and there might even be an excess of this phenomenon, there is clearly a lack of democracy. The structure of decision-making in the European Union is complicated and lacks mechanisms which hold the top leaders of the EU accountable to nations. The European Parliament, the only democratic institution of the union, has only an advisory status and is therefore not a real legislature. In fact, the ordeal of European integration is in the hands of only a narrow circle of people. Moreover, this feature is inherent to the system ever since the beginning of the post-war process of European integration. On the eve of the EU referendum, British media has even revealed an important fact concerning the EU’s past which explains a lot about its present: the process of EU integration, from the outset, was coordinated by the CIA to create an anti-Russian geopolitical bloc in Europe.

WEAPONS OF MASS MIGRATION: SOUTHERN SERBIA FEARS NEXT 'KOSOVО SCENARIO'

According to the research, "Albanians", or better say Shiptars are the dumbest “Europeans” (82 IQ). However, the following text proves that "the dumbest in Europe" are doing again, and again the same trick they have been doing in Kosovo i Metohija for more than 50 years. This time the target is Southern Serbia. Now, the question is, who is a dumb f..k? (remark by LG)
The residents of southern Serbia are worried about history repeating itself amid reports that Kosovo Albanians* are buying up large amounts of property in towns and villages there, Sputnik Serbia reported.

HOW LONG WILL BELGRADE SEESAW BETWEEN NATO AND RUSSIA?

“We intentionally set the bar too high for the Serbs to comply.  They need some bombing and that’s what they are going to get.”  This was how then-US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright described the draft peace agreement during a break at the conference in Rambouillet (February 1999).  At the time the Yugoslav delegation had stated its willingness to concede many points, with the exception of independence for Kosovo (which was nonnegotiable for the Albanians).  But the Yugoslavs did not see the final draft of the accord until the last day of the talks, and as it turned out, two-thirds of that document was entirely new to them (and they were presented with it literally only a few hours before the signing deadline).  In particular, one of the newly introduced chapters (no. 7, appendix B, p.79) called for NATO troops to be deployed not only in Kosovo but throughout the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.  Moreover, alliance personnel would, in this case, “be immune from the Parties’ jurisdiction in respect of any civil, administrative, criminal, or disciplinary offenses” and would “enjoy, together with their vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and equipment, free and unrestricted passage and unimpeded access throughout the FRY including associated airspace and territorial waters.” (para.6-8)

NEVER-ENDING STORY - SERBIA FACES 133 YEARS OF PLAYING CATCHUP WITH THE EU

Serbia wants be part of a big united European family, but according to economists' calculations, given its current economic situation, the road to EU accession may take too much time... 

Serbia will only reach the EU's current level of economic development in 133 years time, Serbian newspaper Kurir reported on Tuesday. 

Serbia will take at least 133 years and Croatia 64 years to close the gap on the EU's current level of economic development, if they can maintain an annual rate of GDP growth of two percent per head, Serbian newspaper Kurir reported on Tuesday. According to calculations by Dr. Drago Pupavac at Croatia's University of Rijeka and Dr. Danica Drakulic at Serbia's University of Novi Sad, other countries in the region will take even longer to reach the average level of development of 27 EU countries, measured by GDP per head. While Montenegro, with a two percent annual growth rate, will reach the standard in 110 years, Macedonia should take 135, Bosnia 157 years and Albania 148 years. The researchers wanted to test the economic theory of convergence, according to which less developed economies tend to grow faster. They found that the process of divergence in the countries of the Western Balkans is extremely slow, and hampered by warfare, political instability and prolonged transition. However, they still believe that with a more effective economic policy, countries in the region could increase their annual GDP by five or six percent and bridge the gap in 14 or ten years respectively in the case of Croatia, or 28 or 23 years respectively in the case of Serbia.

HYBRID WARS 5. BREAKING THE BALKANS (III)

(Please read Part I and Part II before this article)

Thus far in the research, it’s been established that an intense New Cold War competition is taking place in the Balkans between the unipolar and multipolar worlds, with the latter vehemently working to bring their transnational connective projects to the region, whereas the former is ready to do whatever it takes to stop them. This situational context sets the stage for investigating the socio-political vulnerabilities of each of the Balkan states prior to commencing a detailed examination of their most probable Hybrid War scenarios.

Both Balkan Stream and the Balkan Silk Road are envisioned to run straight through the Central Balkans (with China’s multipolar megaproject presently being the only politically feasible of the two), thus making this corridor of states the geostrategic focus of Hybrid War, with specific attention being paid to the Republic of Macedonia and Serbia. On the contrary, scarcely any destabilizing attention is directed towards the Eastern Balkan states of Romania and Bulgaria, mostly owing to their relative insulation from regionally disruptive factors such as the “refugee” crisis (which will be discussed in this section at length).

HYBRID WARS 5. BREAKING THE BALKANS (II)

(Please read Part I before this article)

The first part spoke at length about the strategic situation in the Balkans and briefly identified the state of affairs in each country, thus infusing the reader with the valuable background knowledge. Continuing with what has already been learned, the research will now transition into an examination of the two multipolar transnational connective projects that are the reason the region is being targeted for Hybrid Wars.

The Russian-Chinese Strategic Partnership Goes To Europe

Structural Fundamentals:

In a conceptually similar framework as what’s going on in Central Asia right now, Russia and China also have a shared strategic vision for the Balkans that involves complementary infrastructure projects paving the way for a regional geopolitical transformation. The primary difference between Central Asia and the Balkans, however, is that the former physically connects both Great Powers while the latter is beyond either of their direct peripheries. This makes the Balkans much more vulnerable to external subterfuge since neither Russia nor China is capable of directly protecting their interests there at this point, and must instead rely on skilled diplomatic maneuvers, visible economic promises, and effective strategic partnerships in order to ensure the viability of their respective projects. The US, and to an extent, certain personal and state actors in the EU, are afraid of Russia and China’s plans because they fret losing influence over this geostrategic territory that could quite literally serve as a multipolar bridgehead into the center of the continent.

Reconceptualizing The Balkan Peninsula

The Balkans are the most geostrategically important region in Europe today, and truth be told, they’ve held this role for centuries before, despite whether or not various Great Powers acknowledged this at the time. The purpose of the current study isn’t to meticulously analyze the past, but to define the present and forecast the future. The cusp of their contemporary importance is in serving as a geographic facilitator for two Russian and Chinese megaprojects that aim to penetrate the ‘unipolar continent’ with unshakable multipolar influence, and herein lays the reason why they’re the second most likely to fall victim to Hybrid War. All of this will be thoroughly described in the proceeding sections and parts, but prior to that point, it’s absolutely necessary for the reader to reconceptualize their understanding of the Balkans in order to better comprehend the strategic logic behind Moscow and Beijing’s ambitious geo-economic plans.

HYBRID WARS 4. IN THE GREATER HEARTLAND (IV)

(Please read Parts I, II, and III prior to this article)

The US’ History Of Regional Revolution Attempts

The most significant destabilizing scenario that could ever occur in Central Asia is an “Arab Spring”-like event that ravages the region and irreversibly upsets its existing political balance. The interesting aspect about this possibility is that it was actually attempted twice before, and furthermore, this was even before the “Arab Spring” ever happened. Before delving into the details and reexamining some overlooked aspects of history, it’s important to remind the reader that the US has always been endeavoring to initiate region-wide transformations of power.

HYBRID WARS 4. IN THE GREATER HEARTLAND (III)

(Please read Part I and Part II prior to this article)

Turkmenistan:

The threat facing Turkmenistan is less of a Color Revolution than an Unconventional War. The catalyst for this conflict would be a terrorist invasion coming from Afghanistan that unexpectedly sweeps northwards along the Murgab River. Such an offensive doesn’t even have to reach the national capital in order to be successful, since all that it really needs to do is capture the city of Mary, the capital of the resource-rich Mary Region. This part of the country contains the lion’s share of Turkmenistan’s gas reserve, which includes the massive and decades-long functioning Dauletabad Field and the newly discovered Galkynysh Field, the latter being the world’s second-largest find.

(Please read Part I prior to this article)

“The Eurasian Balkans”

As promising of a potential that the Greater Heartland has in fulfilling what seems to be the world’s inevitable multipolar destiny, it runs the risk of being held back by the adroit manipulation of its “Eurasian Balkan” socio-political vulnerabilities. To bring the reader up to speed real quick, this is the idea first espoused by Zbigniew Brzezinski that the mass of territory spanning from North Africa to Central Asia is riskily threatened by large-scale fragmentation along identity-based lines (ethnic, religious, historical, etc.), mirroring on a much larger scale the demographic “irregularities” that intensified the fratricidal Balkan Wars of the early 1990s.

The Crossroads Of The Multipolar World

Halford Mackinder

Redefining The Heartland:

The “Greater Heartland” acquires its premier strategic and economic importance due to being the supercontinental fulcrum of multipolar integration. As was mentioned at the end of Part III, there’s a direct overlap between Russia’s Eurasian Union and China’s New Silk Road, and the countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan presently fall under both connective umbrellas. To those attuned with geopolitical theory, these three states noticeably correlate with the broad territory that early 20^th-century British strategist Halford Mackinder termed the “Heartland”, which he defined as the geopolitical pivot of Eurasia. More contemporary strategists narrowed the region down to the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia, but the author feels that this is presently insufficient to accommodate for the changing dynamics of the evolving world order, and thus proposes a modification of the concept to include Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan as well. This redefined version of Mackinder’s original thesis moves the center of geopolitical gravity in a more southwards direction (by contrast, Mackinder’s broad contours included all of Siberia and most of the Russian Far East) in order to reflect more relevant areas of geopolitical competition between the unipolar and multipolar worlds in the context of the New Cold War.

HYBRID WARS 3. PREDICTING NEXT HYBRID WARS

(Please read Part I and Part II prior to this article)

Theoretical Review

Identifying The Targets:

The first two parts of the series introduced new concepts to the Hybrid War theory and successfully tested them on the Syrian and Ukrainian cases. This proved that a certain methodology does in fact exist for explaining and analyzing Hybrid Wars, and excitingly, this rubric can proactively be applied in attempting to predict the places where this form of post-modern warfare could be directed next. To refer to Part I, one must first recall the Law of Hybrid Warfare:

“The grand objective behind every Hybrid War is to disrupt multipolar transnational connective projects through externally provoked identity conflicts (ethnic, religious, regional, political, etc.) within a targeted transit state.”

HYBRID WARS 2. TESTING THE THEORY – SYRIA & UKRAINE

(Please read ‘Hybrid Wars 1. The Law Of Hybrid Warfare‘ prior to this article)

The author’s book, “Hybrid Wars: The Indirect Adaptive Approach To Regime Change” (available for free PDF download here), thoroughly makes the case that Syria and Ukraine are the US’ first victims of Hybrid War, but the scope of the article is to express how the abovementioned innovations not included in the original publication have been importantly at play all along. The purpose is to prove that the newly discovered facets can seamlessly be interwoven into the overall theory and used to enhance one’s comprehension of it as a result, thus positioning studied observers to more accurately project the future battlegrounds in which Hybrid Wars are most likely to be fought.

This part of the research thus follows the theoretical model that was just set out before it, in that it elaborates on the geostrategic-economic determinants that were behind the Wars on Syria and Ukraine, before touching on the socio-political structural vulnerabilities that the US attempted to exploit to various degrees of success. The last part incorporates the idea of social and structural preconditioning and briefly discusses how it was present in each case.

HYBRID WARS 1. THE LAW OF HYBRID WARFARE

After the Fall of Berlin Wall, the events on global geopolitical scene, have been speeding up, dramatically.  We have witnessed the changes in international relations, that were unimaginable not only to general public, but also to a number of political analysts. The stage that was set up after the WWII, exploded right in our faces at the end of the past and at the beginning of the New Millennium, changing life of millions. The "New World Order", "post-modern states", the "jungle of the countries still living in XIX century" (cit. Sir Robert Cooper "The post-modern state and the world order"), all the geopolitical strategic points of view promoting the international relations based on double standards, force, preemptive attack, deception, and most of all limits on states sovereignty imposed by "post-modern" states to "jungle" countries are our everyday life, now. The "new" view appears to be an old one. Second millennium, at its very start, reintroduced the relations known at the start of previous one. There is The Rome, and the barbaric world outside of its limes. In that uni-polar World, the Rome had all the power to impose its will on barbarians using the methods listed above, in the name of "civilization", but in real, grabbing resources, and melting or destroying other societies.

THE NEW LIBERAL IMPERIALISM

OK, after several days of absence, here I am again. The article I'm going to post is an old one. Exactly 14 years old. However, the subject of this article is still actual. Moreover, my country, the Region, and even broader have been living this article for about 25 years. Ever-since the Fall of the Berlin Wall. So, read it, and enjoy. It is very instructive. The guy who wrote this text is an important Pommy. The geopolitical adviser of one Anthony Charles Lynton "Tonny" Blair, an ex Prime minister of PommyLand and one Catherine Margaret Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, GCMG, the High European Commission Official.

Senior British diplomat Robert Cooper has helped to shape British Prime Minister Tony Blair's calls for a new internationalism and a new doctrine of humanitarian intervention which would place limits on state sovereignty. Cooper's call for a new liberal imperialism and admission of the need for double standards in foreign policy have outraged the left but the essay offers a rare and candid unofficial insight into the thinking behind British strategy on Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond…

In 1989 the political systems of three centuries came to an end in Europe: the balance-of-power and the imperial urge. That year marked not just the end of the Cold War, but also, and more significantly, the end of a state system in Europe which dated from the Thirty Years War. September 11 showed us one of the implications of the change.

To understand the present, we must first understand the past, for the past is still with us. International order used to be based either on hegemony or on balance. Hegemony came first. In the ancient world, order meant empire. Those within the empire had order, culture and civilisation. Outside it lay barbarians, chaos and disorder. The image of peace and order through a single hegemonic power centre has remained strong ever since. Empires, however, are ill-designed for promoting change. Holding the empire together - and it is the essence of empires that they are diverse - usually requires an authoritarian political style; innovation, especially in society and politics, would lead to instability. Historically, empires have generally been static.

ЧУДА ГЕНЕТИКЕ - ОБРНУТА ЕВОЛУЦИЈА – НАУЧНИЦИ РЕКОНСТРУИСАЛИ НОГУ ДИНОСАУРУСА НА ПИЛЕТУ

Све до скоро, један од највећих митова у науци је био да су сви диносауруси истребљени током протеклих 65 милион година.  Захваљујући новооткривеним фосилима, који су допунили наша сазнања о птицоликим диносаурусима, сада је познато да су само неки диносауруси истребљени ударом астероида у Земљу, други су преживели и постали родоначелници данашњих птица.

Да би схватили како се та еволуциона промена одвијала, чилеански научници су манипулисали генима обичне кокошке, тако да су развили издужену, цевасту лисну кост (fibula) на доњим екстремитетима – једну од две дуге кости које се налазе у батаку.

WHY THE NEXT WORLD WAR WILL BE FOUGHT OVER FOOD

The world has a massive food crisis — so big that the World Bank and the United Nations say there won’t be enough food to feed the global population by 2050. But feeding the world is big business.

The world has a massive food crisis on its hands. The crisis is so big that organizations like the World Bank and the United Nations say there won’t be enough food to feed the global population when it jumps from the current seven billion people to nine billion by 2050.

Some research even suggests a food scarcity crunch as early as 2030 — just 15 years from now.

5.12% ИЛИ 5.03% - „КОСОВО“ ЈЕ ВЕЋ У УЕФА, А СРБИ СЕ И ДАЉЕ ПРЕБРОЈАВАЈУ!

Коалиција Двери-ДСС је најзад угурана у Парламент, на велику радост Санде и Бошка. Док се дама у овом двојцу са кормиларем некако и уздржавала, Бошко је све поцупкивао од среће. Остаје питање шта је допринело да они који одлучују о резултатима избора у земљи Србији, омекшају и дају скупштинску трансфузију коалицији званој Патриотски блок. Да ли је то отворено писмо очајног Обрадовића, Александру Вучићу и то не у својству председника Владе, већ у својству „председника Српске напредне странке“? Тон отвореног писма потпуно одудара од агресивног и неконтролисаног понашања Обрадовића у „Дугој ноћи бројања гласова“. Можда је ова изненада нађена помирљивост и култивисаност утицала да срце „Великог брата“ српског изборног ријалитија мало омекша. Можда.

PRINCESS CAMILLA’S DIARY

Monday, March 21, 2016.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall

We landed in one of the small Balkan countries, which we were to visit on tour. I could hardly wait to end this tour. They are constantly projecting Monty Python Flying Circus on the plane, so we could easily comprehend the region, as well as, the people who are going to be our official hosts. I asked Charles what’s the name of this country where we are going to land, Charles have tried to recall the name for some time and said he was not sure, but he thought that was Serbia. He offered to invite Her Majesty to ask just to be on the safe side. I look at him and said nothing, and we did not made that call, after all. I do not need her to nag that I do not take care of her son letting him to go everywhere. Serbia, hmmmm.

SERBIAN WAGES DO NOT FOLLOW THE GROWTH OF STANDARD OF CITIZENS

BELGRADE, 2016 (News) – Despite of historical growing of standard that has been recorded in Serbia over the past year, the purchasing power and the incomes of employees remained the lowest in the region, according to statistics obtained by the News. 

24 YEARS OF THE YUGOSLAV PEOPLE'S ARMY MASSACRE IN DOBROVOLJACKA STREET IN SARAJEVO

May 3, 1992, one of the bloodiest massacres in Bosnia: Mass killing of Yugoslav army soldiers (JNA) in Sarajevo, Dobrovoljacka street.

“… The first and foremost of such conclusions is surely the one on the incompatibility of Islam and non- Islamic systems. There can be no peace or coexistence between the “Islamic faith” and non- Islamic societies and political institutions. … Islam clearly excludes the right and possibility of activity of any strange ideology on its own turf. Therefore, there is no question of any laicistic principles, and the state should be an expression and should support the moral concepts of the religion. …” , — Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 22 On May 3, 1992. In Dobrovoljacka street, Sarajevo, Muslim forces attacked a convoy killing 42 Yugoslav soldiers and officers, wounding and capturing over 200.

ВАТРЕНА СТИХИЈА НА ВАСКРС У ПРАВОСЛАВНИМ ЦРКВАМА НА ТРИ КОНТИНЕНТА!

Пожар који је уништио до темеља цркву "Светог Саве" на Менхетну у Њујорку, оставио је бројне вернике у шоку током васкршњих празника.



До јуче је ово велелепно здање редовно посећивало преко 700 верника. Од цркве, која је под заштитом града, остали су само зидови и просторије пуне пепла и шута. Још већа туга завладала је међу српском заједницом у Њујорку, јер се немили догађај десио баш на дан највећег православног празника, Васкрса.

ХРИСТОС ВAСКРЕСЕ!

Васкрс је један од највећих хришћанских празника, којим се прославља Исусов повратак у живот - васкрсење.
