“…Secondly, Russia's assertive policy in taking over the oil/gas processing capacities of the countries of the region pushed even the closest Russia's ally -Serbia-to adopt tough measures against Russian energy-giants. 55 Thirdly, Russia's inclination to link political and economic questions seriously limits the attractiveness of its energy card. One of the most recent examples was Russia's attempts to force Serbia to grant special diplomatic privilege to the site and the workers of the Russian Emergency Ministry in Serbia.…”

The present paper looks into the current policies of Russia in the Balkans. It argues that after a short period of withdrawal from the region, Moscow is currently making efforts to regain its position and, in some sense, it has been a quite successful come-back. Russia has enhanced its economic presence, political clout, and symbolic influence in some of the countries of the region. However, Russia's present return to the Balkans is of a quite different nature than its past engagement there as Moscow has now moved to a more assertive foreign policy. The paper also looks at the response of the Balkans countries to Moscow's policies. It argues that the Balkans countries have adopted a more pragmatic approach to relations with Russia and as a result, Russia and these countries are in the process of finding a new, workable modus operandi for their interaction.

“…this end, according to SergeySutyrin et al (2019), Russia has recently invested massively in the WB states through foreign direct investment (FDI), in particular in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro (p. 329). Although the authors of this research note the potential imprecision of the available data, they estimate that the Russian petrochemical giants, Lukoil and Zarubezhneft, benefit from an almost monopoly in these countries(Sutyrin et al 2019, 329).…”

The Increasing Influence of Emerging Powers in the Western Balkans: A Brief Analysis

Using four emerging powers as a case study (China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey), this paper examined how the current redistribution of power in the contemporary world has affected the Western Balkan region. The objective was to shed light on the ability of the emerging powers to make use of soft power to increase their influence. This paper demonstrated that the growing presence in the Western Balkan region of these emerging powers occurred to the detriment of traditional actors in the region, in particular to the European Union and the United States. While Russia favored political instability in the region to increase its grip, China proposed a new economic project to reach the European market and expand its own norms. As far as Saudi Arabia and Turkey were concerned, both states privileged the use of religious soft power in Muslim-majority countries. The paper concluded that a rapid European response is required today if the EU wants to remain the most influential actor in the Western Balkans.
