The termination of the Treaty on the Elimination of Medium and Shorter-Range Missiles is a step that could not but entail serious and even dangerous consequences. Nevertheless, Washington decided to do this, and the countries of Europe, including Serbia, found themselves in an extremely disadvantageous position, told the head of the Serbian-Russian educational center Boshko Kozarski.
According to him, it would be quite logical to expect that the Russian side will take mirror measures, refusing from unilateral compliance with the agreement.
“It is now believed in the world community that the United States will deploy missiles in Europe, thereby provoking Russia to respond. At a time when world powers compete in military power, European countries, including Serbia, are in the most unfavorable situation,” he stressed.
The expert says that the situation may get out of control, which should not be allowed: “The irresponsible behavior of the American administration caused a chain reaction and led us, the European countries, to an uncertain and unknown situation. In such an atmosphere, diplomatic, economic processes also slow down. ”
