Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is worried. Why? Because Kosovo, Albania and Croatia have signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of defense. The media controlled by editor-in-chief Vučić are in a state of emergency...
1. I asked the artificial intelligence if there are vampires in the village of Muqibabë. It replied that there is no scientific evidence that there are vampires in Muqibabë. It explained that there are neither lugetër nor elves (another word for lugetër). I thanked the artificial intelligence for this valuable information. It also immediately gave me this advice: “If you ever decide to go to Muqibabë and hear some strange noise at night, don’t worry. It’s most likely just the wind in the mountains or a neighbor coming home late.”
2. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is worried. Why? Because Kosovo, Albania and Croatia have signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of defense. The media controlled by editor-in-chief Vučić are in a state of emergency. They have even found a title to describe the cooperation between Pristina, Tirana and Zagreb: “trojni savez”, the alliance of the trio. This is an allusion to the alliance between the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy in 1882. The purpose of this alliance was mutual support to counter attacks from other countries, especially from Russia. In Serbian propaganda, the Germans and Austrians are historically depicted as hostile to the Serbs. From this perspective, Croatia, Albania and Kosovo are three countries behind which powerful Western states stand. “Someone had to give the green light for this,” Vučić said, underlining that the “biggest danger” to Serbia comes from “these three entities.” Since he didn't want to call Kosovo a state, he also made Albania and Croatia entities.
3. If there is one country in the Balkans that has been steadily arming itself over the past two decades, it is Serbia. According to SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute), Serbia spent $700-900 million per year on its military budget between 2011 and 2017. In 2018, a major turnaround began. The budget tripled. In 2023, spending reached about $2.14 billion, while for 2024/2025, Serbia has allocated about $2.32 billion. The facts show that Serbia currently spends more than all other Western Balkan countries combined, becoming the leading military power in the region in terms of investment. It has purchased a long-range missile defense system from China (the Chinese version of the Russian S-300). It has also purchased CH-92 and CH-95 drones from China. These combat and surveillance drones have given Serbia a technological advantage in the region. It has also purchased HQ-17A short-range air defense systems from Beijing.
It received 6 MiG-29 aircraft as a “gift” from Russia. It purchased Pantsir-S1 systems (mobile air defense), Mi-35M and Mi-17V-5 helicopters (known as “flying fortresses”), T-72MS tanks (according to official information: Russian donation). Serbia also continues to be a major arms exporter. It is alleged that it exported $800 million to Ukraine (selling weapons to Western countries, which sent them to Ukraine. Russia has understood this and accused Serbia of stabbing its “Russian brothers” in the back), Serbia has also exported weapons to Israel (and thus showed the middle finger to Palestinian diplomats, who still believe that Comrade Tito’s Yugoslavia is alive, who supported the Palestinian cause to gain prestige in the Arab world; this paid off: almost every dam in Iraq and Libya was built by Yugoslav firms).
4. It is unnecessary to ask who is arming themselves the most in the region. That Serbia's neighbors are thinking of self-defense - this is not surprising. After all, it is a logical step in the face of a country like Serbia, which in the 1990s alone started four wars in the Balkans - from Slovenia to Kosovo. With his propaganda about the danger posed by Kosovo, Croatia and Albania, the Serbian president aims to mobilize his radical and nationalist clientele before he holds elections in Serbia this year. At least, this is what he has promised several times in response to the massive protests against his regime. Vučić is now seeing vampires in Muqibaba.
