Burns' visit shows that the Balkans is still on the list of American political interests...
The unexpected tour of the head of the American CIA, William Burns, is covered with many shadows and unknowns. Because the very nature of a smart service is like that. But experts and diplomats from the area show that we are dealing with a very important development. Important, since it is not a question of negotiation or crisis resolution, which Burns has often dealt with during this period that he leads at the head of the CIA, but with the delivery of a very strong ultimatum.
Both the Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian media, of a political and expert level, and which are known to be serious, point out that the essence of this tour had a concise refrain: "The Balkans are not part of the new world order".
And this was said by bringing messages from people close to Donald Trump. No matter how the American elections in November go, the Dayton Agreement, Bosnia, Kosovo will remain as they are.
Meanwhile, Split's 'Jutarnij List' brings another news about the meeting between CIA chief William Burns and the head of the Serbian BIA, Vladimir Orlic.
Sources in Belgrade inform that Burns has refused to meet even Aleksandar Vučić, who visited him late at night during a dinner the American service chief had with people from his community.
According to the Croatian media, Burns has requested that three important directors, who are also known as contacts of Nikolai Patrushev, who is the head of Russian espionage, leave BIA immediately.
It is even learned that the conversation between Burns and Orlic took place in Russian. According to BIA people, it is considered a test to see if his interlocutor was trained in Patrushev's way. Who Burns knows very well as the former US ambassador to Moscow, where he spent a lot of time in conversation with Vladimir Putin's right-hand man.
And according to 'Jutarnij List', he perfectly knows his expressions and vocabulary. The head of the CIA is not only a perfect connoisseur of Russian and has shown this in translations of masterpieces of Russian literature and philological science into English, but he is also a passionate speaker of the Russian language. And this gives him an important advantage.
Buns, in addition to Russian, speaks Arabic perfectly. He conducted secret negotiations with the Palestinians by speaking their language.

In March, the US National Intelligence Service (DNI) published a report according to which Milorad Dodik is working for the secession of Republika Srpska, in cooperation with Moscow and the head of the Serbian secret service BIA, Aleksandër Vulin, close to the Russians, who organized the Banjska riot with Radojčič, but which was discovered before it started by the CIA and the British service, and reportedly with people inside the BIA.
