Ambassador Djukic with positive forecasts for the Balkan countries - Sekulovski from ZNM urges not to hinder the work of journalists in the upcoming elections.
The former Ambassador of Serbia to Belarus and a diplomat with vast experience in diplomatic missions in Moscow, Prishtina and Sofia, Dr. Srecko Djukic is a guest in this Labyrinth. We analyzed the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping in Belgrade and Paris, but we also analyzed the current war hotspots in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as relations in the Balkans.
Diplomat Djukic expects an escalation on the front in Ukraine which will be an indicator of the direction the war will go and says that Russia receives more help from its allies than Ukraine receives from its friends in the West.
Regarding the dialogue between Belgrade and Prishtina, the diplomat believes that the future Special Envoy of the EU for this dialogue, who will most likely be the former President of Slovenia, Borut Pahor, will in practice achieve what the previous Envoy Miroslav Lajčak did, which is the completion of the formal framework with the Brussels Agreement and the Ohrid Annex.
As for EU expansion, Djukic says that the Union has finally realized that the membership of the Balkan states, as well as Ukraine and Moldova, is their security strategic goal and expects this to be achieved in the next mandate.
A guest in this edition of Labyrinth is the director of ZNM, Dragan Sekulovski, with whom we discussed the safety of journalists, online attacks on them, and the rights of journalists to report from polling stations. Sekulovski reminded that these are the first elections in the country where journalists have the capacity of officials.
