🇪🇺🇷🇺⚡- The European Union Parliament passed a resolution permitting the downing of Russian aircrafts and drones over EU airspace.
This marks the most explicit and collective political statement from the European Parliament to date. While the resolution is symbolic and non-binding—unlike a treaty—it nonetheless reflects a significant shift in tone. Member states continue to retain full sovereignty over defense decisions.
Notably, this is the first time the European Union has signaled a clear move away from a posture of “monitor and protest” toward one of “active defense and deterrence.”

Operators and soon to be operators in the Balkans of the Bayraktar TB2: - Croatia - Kosovo - Romania - Albania - Bosnia Bulgaria and Hungary both flirted with purchases but they never materialized. Montenegro purchased 30 Oshkosh Defense drones in 2019…
"When Turkey sends drones to the Balkans, the falsehood about friendship and good relations ends, and a message of neo-Ottomanism is sent. The delivery of weapons to so-called Kosovo is not an act that encourages peace, but an act of open hostility," said Milorad Dodik.
The delivery of kamikaze drones to Pristina is not cooperation, but a brutal threat to Serbia and Serbs, and support for Kurti in the pre-election campaign, as the main proponent of anti-Serb politics who literally threatens Serbs, Dodik added.
"It’s time to stop believing in Turkey's declarative statements about cooperation with all peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is clear that they are only interested in cooperation with one. Is the next step the delivery of weapons to Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina that they would use against Serbs and Croats?"
Notice how he tries to intertwine Serbia's politics with Bosnia's and Croatia's.
Bosnia or Croatia have nothing to do with Kosovo. That's a Serbian issue. Serbia and Albania have both invited the Israeli problem into the Balkans which is only going to invite the Turkish problem.
On one hand you have "Greater Albania" and on the other you have "Greater Serbia" - these hidden campaign agendas are simply going to invite more radical extremism into the region than is necessary or needed.

Huh? Where is the source on this?
Sensationalist content pieces that cater only to echo-chambers are not beneficial to anyone; especially when no source is actually cited.
It is impossible for all the governing institutions of the Federation and RS to not communicate with one another.
Taxes, healthcare and infrastructure are areas where communication and cooperation is occurring, right now. As in, October 9th, 2025. Call Banja Luka and ask them.
I do not care what peaceful decisions are made over time to the future of the Bosnian state. However, I do care that when people lie, others die.
Read everything that comes out of Bosnia very carefully and skeptically. Some people simply want to watch the world burn.

—NOTE: The claim that "For the first time since the war, the governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s two entities—Republic of Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina—have no official communication or cooperation" reflects a severe level of institutional paralysis and breakdown in coordination between Republika Srpska and the Federation, but it requires clarification.
➡️ What is happening in October 2025:
- Political tensions have escalated sharply, especially after the conviction and banning from political office of RS President Milorad Dodik.
- The Republika Srpska has adopted and proposed laws that contradict the authority of the central state, including moves to ban State-level law enforcement and judiciary from operating in RS territory. This has prompted warnings about possible secessionist acts and threats to the constitutional order.
- There have been serious interruptions in cooperation at state level, with RS representatives boycotting state institutions or refusing to cooperate on key decisions, further paralyzing the central government.
➡️ But is communication/cooperation totally gone?
- Although current coordination is extremely limited and largely blocked at official levels, some entity-level representatives still remain in place, and basic contact persists in specific technical areas (such as EU-mandated reforms and some international obligations).
- The High Representative and international actors have warned that the situation is very severe, but not yet irreversible, and point out that most communities do not support division or secession.
➡️ Summary:
The statement is mostly accurate for October 2025, as official communication/cooperation at the highest institutional levels is severely disrupted and in practice nearly non-existent, but it is not technically or legally a total absence—a few exchanges or technical contacts remain due to the structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s government and international oversight. The paralysis and fragmentation are at historic highs since the war, and most current affairs analysts characterize this as the worst crisis in post-war state functionality.

—Thanks to The Bosnian Kingdom for raising concerns over the accuracy of this information.
In my opinion, The National Independent is a reliable source that long-term followers know very well at Balkan Spectator, because we have cited them a lot in our news.
However, no one is safe from making mistakes or being not so precise when posting. I still think this is a good, reliable source, but this post was not accurate enough.
As you can see, having people from Balkan countries as channel admins helps a lot for truly understanding what's going on in each country. It gets even better if admins are nice people to chat with, as The Bosnian Kingdom is.

US sanctions on NIS are aimed at the Russian government, not Serbia or its people. Russian entities still control the company, and its revenues fund the Kremlin’s war machine.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 - It was revealed that, for President Trump's state visit to the UK, the British side had to redo 66 American flags spending extra GBP 50 thousand, because representatives of the White House objected against the red color initially used in the original American flags ordered for the visit: Americans wanted that to be a more saturated cherry red.
