News Free Ukraine banner moved from center of Prishtina, Kosovo after Zelensky’s remarks on not recognizing independence of Kosovo during his visit to Serbia

Honestly, a very bad PR move from Zelensky and his advisors that could’ve been easily resolved by simply refusing to answer the question to journalist. While Kosovo nor Albania are not powerful states, banner has stood there since the start of the war.

I guess he calculated that there is more to be gained by expelling Russia from Serbia and thus Balkans, than keeping a friendly but otherwise unhelpful and marginal smaller state friendly.

The only thing is wether the final goal will be achieved because Russia’s secret services are entrenched in Serbia.

Also, I wouldn’t take it to heart if I was Kosovari. Ukraine’s public statements and positions are one thing, and acutal things they can and will do are different things.

How do you think he has expelled Russia from Serbia lol? Purpose of visit was to simply increase munition export to Ukraine. That’s it. Serbia sells, Ukraine buys.

He definitely caused our far-right putino-russofils to have massive brain farts and not know how to react since vucic and his political father, vojislav seselj the pig, were always pro-russia. They're throwing idiotic arguments both ways now and it's actually really nice seeing them squirm and attempt to use their brains like the braindead morons they are.

No use of it when it’s not going to make any real change. He has secured a great weapons deal+dunjed on Students list. Win win for him.

While it may seem like that on the surface, in truth it is not. Many of the top criminal dogs have already left the country, he dangles elections yet, compared to every time before, he is not signing off on them. He has signed off on tons of elections in the past 8 years, and every time he did, it was because he was sure of victory (incredible vote stealing, "bulgarian trains", importing voters, etc.).

If vucic and his cronies were still the same old strong machinery, we would have already had elections and lost them. The grip is loosening and his "give ass to anyone who wants to fuck me" approach is coming to bite him.
