The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, was met with a "less than warm welcome" in the Serbian parliament on March 3rd amidst her tour of the Balkans. Chants of "Serbia! Russia! We don't need the EU" left Mogherini sitting uneasily in her seat.
Political analyst John Bosnitch explained this event to RT as "a door slammed shut in her [Mogherini's] face." Calling the protest in the Serbian parliament a "fair bit of resistance", Bosnitch emphasized, is "an understatement of the first calibre."
"The message that she was given was: 'Go away; the people of this region do not want to join the EU...and please don't try and start a Hitler-style two-front war fighting the English and fighting the Serbs at the same time, because you'll lose,'" Bosnitch clarified.
When asked by RT why Mogherini was met with such fierce rejection by Serbian representatives, Bosnitch posited that the EU is a "carbon copy" of NATO, the "most powerful, aggressive military force on the earth" that bombed Serbia in 1999 "without any legal grounds" and subsequently partitioned the country.
In Bosnitch's words, "Hey guys, now that we've bombed you, divided you, impoverished you, and demonized you, we'd like to invite you to become a lower member of the EU" is the real translation of Mogherini's attempt to coax Serbia into the union.
"There is no outlet for the EU in this battle," Bosnitch says. In his opinion, even if the Serbian people "are dragged into the EU kicking and screaming", they would contribute to the implosion of Brussels' union just as much they would while remaining outside of the EU. In this spirit, Bosnitch likened Serbia's resistance to "European integration" to Brexit.
"If they take Serbia in, they get a trojan horse. If they don't get Serbia in, they have another force along with the English and Brexit ripping the EU apart," Bosnitch concluded.
