Accelerated expansion of NATO into the Balkans as a consequence of Euro-Atlantic Discord by S. Gajić, E. G. Ponomareva

“…Subsequently, post-Cold War ideological consensus in the West has also been challenged even further by the growth of non-systemic political movements – many of them directed not only against the EU expansion, but also against the EU itself.The significance of all these events for the Balkans is somewhat surprising and paradoxical, as the mainstream forces that have been weakened in the West forcefully push for a stronger Atlantic integration of the remaining Balkan countries. …”
