Serbia is an independent country currently negotiating an EU-memebership. In order to get to Serbia, Russia would have to go through at least one EU-contry or Turkey.
- us0r 10y ago>Serbia is an independent country Could say the same about Ukraine
- PinguTS 10y agoGeht a geography class.
- pilsetnieks 10y agoSerbia doesn't even border Russia. You could say the same about Germany, Czech Republic, or Portugal.
- lisivka 10y agoEastern Moldova is counter-example.
- icebraining 10y agoTransnistria has been in a stalemate since before stopped calling itself a Soviet Socialist Republic; it wasn't (re)invaded later.
- lisivka 10y agoHistorically, Transnistria in USSR was used as military foothold, to capture Moldova, pretending that this is just a conflict or a civil war. Russian Empire/USSR/Russia used that trick many many times. For example, Ukraine was captured by USSR using "Kharkiv People Republic" controlled by Moscow. Today, Russia tries to capture Ukraine again using "Lugansk People Republic" and "Donetsk People Republic". Transistria is at border of Ukraine and Moldova, owned by both, with roughly equal populations, but both Moldovans and large part of Ukrainians were at same side. For example, leader of separatists was captured by Moldovan police in Ukraine capital city. Why "conflict" happen if both native nations were at same side?
- mschuster91 10y agoSerbia won't become an EU member anytime soon. 1) its economy is far too screwed up for the EU to include 2) there's still the Kosovo problem, that won't go away soon 3) Croatia and Slovenia will veto an EU membership of Serbia. It is more than likely that Serbia will turn to Putin instead - and when Putin says "shut them down", Serbia will comply.
- icebraining 10y agoWhy do you say that? The negotiations seem to have been progressing since 2011, and Slovenia ratified Serbia's Stabilisation and Association Agreement without delay; they only seemed to have faced opposition from Lithuania.
- mschuster91 10y agoNegotiations went on with Turkey for years, too, and in the end nothing happened.
