This might be a good time to take that trip to the Balkans. In the last couple of years there has been a failed Russian backed coup attempt in Montenegro, the Kosovo / Serbia issue has become more unstable and at times more violent and the Russians are trying to assist in splitting Bosnia & Herzegovina into two states.
This is a beautiful part of the world, with wonderful people and a very dynamic and facinating cultures..... If it comes apart it could be 10 years before you have another chance to go.
Milorad Dodik, the ultranationalist and pro-Russian president of
Bosnia’s Republika Srpska entity, has launched a deeply destructive
campaign targeting the country’s sovereignty and territorial
integrity.The Republika Srpska assembly has made two major decisions. Firstly,
it has suspended the rulings of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and
Herzegovina on its territory.This looks very much like de facto secession, a formal act towards the
partition of the country (and indeed Dodik regularly threatens a
referendum on leaving Bosnia).Dodik’s escalation of threats to destroy Bosnia has received direct
support from Russia.
