Dr. Filip Kovačević and I discuss the current geopolitics of the Balkans, the strategy of US-NATO-EU towards the region and we examine country by country, including Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia, how they are managing to keep the former Yugoslavia under their control. Sparks of resistance do exist in the Greek Syriza as well as one anti-imperialist Croatian former presidential candidate who came out of nowhere and won 16.5% of the vote.
