    Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 19 hours ago

    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 20 hours ago

“I am sure that the Russians are very happy and encouraging Serbia to take the stance that it is at the moment because clearly it is in its interests to try and make trouble in another part of the continent and distract Western attention from Ukraine. But this issue and the frequent flare-ups of tension long predate the Ukraine war so there is no reason to assume what we have seen recently would not be happening regardless. The only difference is that Ukraine has given an added impetus to the EU and US to try and resolve the Serbia-Kosovo issue, which is why we have seen so much diplomatic activity over the last few months.”

“One of the biggest challenges and disappointments is that local politicians haven't evolved in their thinking from the 90s. The desire of the United States is for all six countries to become members of the European Union. These are European countries, some of which have made huge progress, and their accession to the EU would not pose a danger to existing members of the Union, but a great opportunity.”

“Through tripartite diplomacy, Secretary Blinken made it known that the United States intends to intensify its engagement in order to resolve the dispute over Kosovo, and finally bring BiH [Bosnia and Herzegovina] out of a state of political paralysis. It remains unclear how Belgrade and Pristina will interpret his call for 'flexibility', while the demand for limited constitutional changes in BiH is a welcome announcement of the necessary reforms of a fossilized system. The 'offensive' on three fronts confirms that the United States wants to be present in the Western Balkans and not to leave the region to Russia and China.”

“In my understanding, the letters [two letters sent by Blinken to Serbia and Kosovo presidents] are a clear signal the Biden administration ended the Trump-Grenell policy of undermining the EU on its own turf. A return to transatlantic cooperation, but with Washington leaving the lead role to the EU.”

“We must attack the rampant corruption that is crippling political institutions and undermining the rule of law across the region. In every country, leaders seem to regard political office as a source of patronage to stay in power. Addressing the so-called state capture and rooting out these influences must be a top priority. This may sound too simplistic, [but] we have to pay attention. We have not paid the kind of attention that is necessary to this area, feeling kind of 'oh well, we did everything that we could.'”
