The Allies’ Declaration from the Ankara Summit (7–8 July) demonstrated NATO’s strategic clarity in addressing today’s global security challenges. By reaffirming its “ironclad commitment” to collective defence under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, the Alliance responded to concerns about a potential transatlantic divide, as well as to threats posed by Russia and Iran, through its “360-degree approach,” which emphasizes deterrence and defence from all directions (The Ankara Summit Declaration). Greater European and Canadian responsibility for a modernized and stronger Alliance, unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, renewed determination that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons, and the…

While enjoying the sun on the shores of the Aegean Sea, the symbolism of the beach and the wisdom of two distinguished thinkers expose both Vučić and the grand deception surrounding Vidovdan. In a place where differences seemingly disappear, and where Greeks, Albanians, Serbs, and other holidaymakers are united under the same sea and sun, the philosopher of those distant shores, Heraclitus, demonstrated 2,500 years ago that change is an irreversible process and that history, like his river—into which one cannot step twice—cannot be taken back 28, let alone more than 100 years. Much later, thirty-five years ago, Ukshin Hoti…

In the digital context of information warfare, propaganda requires greater sophistication and emotional stimulation. Serbia’s strategy of “victimization” uses false attribution, “mirror accusations,” and the fabrication of threats, aiming to manipulate the truth. Through projection and amplification in the media, its strategic communication consists of internal mobilization, international confusion, and NATO’s alleged “mistake,” with the purpose of legitimizing its militarization and undermining the Republic of Kosovo. False Attribution for Greater Effect At a time when the United States is making the path toward peace in the Balkans clearer through Kosovo’s integration into NATO, Serbia falsifies the statements of an American…

Around 19:45, March 24, 1999. A defining chapter in modern European history began: NATO’s intervention to stop the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Exactly one year after the KLA’s epic resistance in Gllogjan, the democratic world launched its bombing campaign against Milošević’s criminal machinery. It was a difficult consensus, shaped by the liberal imperative to confront a “sovereignty” that was killing, abusing, massacring, and expelling civilians. Today, on the 27th anniversary of the battle against genocide, the struggle against Serbian “victimhood narratives” has become even more challenging. A truth recognized worldwide continues to be distorted by a reversed Serbian narrative: Racak…

A tragedy that began in the Ibar River, where three Albanian children (Egzon Deliu and Avni and Florent Veseli) drowned while being chased by a group of Serbs, on March 17 and 18, 2004, turned into the most severe episode of post-war Kosovo. Investigations classified the case as murder, yet UNMIK never identified the perpetrators. The civic revolt that followed continues to be remembered amid ambiguity and politicization. Calculating on public frustration caused by the delay of political status, “someone” provoked public anger, and the consequences severely affected not only human lives, property, monuments, and religious sites, but also the…

Today, 26 years ago, an organized attack, disguised as “hooliganism,” terrorized Albanians in the north of Mitrovica inside their own homes, using bombs, sniper rifles, automatic weapons, and other arms, under the “watch” of UNMIK Police and French KFOR troops. What witnesses describe as the “night of terror,” between 3 and 4 February 2000, was a “civilian” operation of ethnic persecution through brutal violence and the destruction of homes, leaving 10 people dead, including women, children, and the elderly, 25 wounded, and 93 physically abused. Yet another massacre against Albanians, in order to achieve the planned “result”: their expulsion from…

Why are sanctions the only tool to “discipline” Serbia? By: Arben Fetoshi Just as Milošević in 1998–1999 was refusing international agreements and warnings, “forcing” the world to react with NATO’s “Allied Force, 1999”, his former Minister of Information, Aleksandar Vučić, continues today to evade demands for accountability and constructive conduct regarding destabilizing interference against Kosovo. Serbia persists with its “two-chair policy” (Bieber, 2018), benefiting from the European integration process on the one hand and deepening strategic alignment with Russia and China on the other. Through a strategy that combines “victimization” as deception, aggression framed as “civic reaction,” and attacks through…

Author: Prof. Asoc. Dr. Arben Fetoshi – Director at Institute for Hybrid Warfare “OCTOPUS” First, he blames the Kosovo Police through a BIA report; then he accuses Prime Minister Kurti of using the attack to justify oppression of Serbs; meanwhile he deceives by offering “cooperation” in the investigation process; and in the end, he disappears from the narrative once the indictment exposes, nakedly, the responsibility of his state. This is Aleksandar Vucic, Milosevic’s “hyena,” who orchestrates endless schemes to undermine Kosovo, and who is brutally unmasked for the terrorist attack on the Ibër–Lepenc canal (2024) in Varragë, Zubin Potok. An…

Author: Asoc. Prof. Dr. Arben Fetoshi – Director at Institute for Hybrid Warfare Studies “OCTOPUS” and professor at University of Pristina “Hasan Prishtina” Why the “Historical Society” Outlines Serbia’s Neo-Soviet Alignment The establishment of the Russian Historical Society branch in Belgrade represents the clearest indicator of the hegemonic superstructure of “Slavic brotherhood,” marking one of the most serious threats to security and the democratic order. The “educational” center of expansionist policy from the Tsarist era (1866), revived by Vladimir Putin in 2012 to command the Russian “truth” through his most sophisticated instrument, the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR),…

Author: Asoc. Prof. Dr. Arben Fetoshi – Director at Institute for Hybrid Warfare “OCTOPUS” Why Does Serbia’s Interference Pose a Threat to National Security? The significance of Sunday’s local elections (October 12) goes far beyond a political competition for the governance of municipalities in Kosovo. Serbia’s interference, more aggressive than in the past due to the failure of its boycott policy (2022) and the decline of its control in the north, have turned these elections into a geopolitical battlefield aligned with the Russian axis.What is disguised as an electoral campaign of the Serbian List is, in fact, a choreography orchestrated…
