New article by Vladimir Vučković: “You are either with us, or against us: the small state of Serbia between domestic ambition and external pressures”
Vladimir Vučković has published an article titled “You are either with us, or against us: the small state of Serbia between domestic ambition and external pressures” in Cogent Social Sciences.
The article examines the position of Serbia as a small state in the context of external pressures, largely reflecting an ambition to balance the East and the West. While analyzing the limited case of the Covid-19 pandemic and the never-ending case of Kosovo, additionally actualized by the Russo-Ukrainian war, the present study suggests that Serbia is at the crossroads between growing ambitions and the real limitations of what its smallness can achieve. The paper concludes that Serbian foreign policy contains all the prerogatives of movement without a goal, a search for strategic partnerships, but without a coherent political vision—an approach that generates suspicion of being labelled as distracted and unreliable.
