The policy of the West aimed at cutting off all Russia-friendly connections seems to have spread to the Balkans, the Austrian newspaper wrote.

The US government has already predetermined the way that Macedonia should follow, Stefan Haderer from the Wiener Zeitung wrote.

In July 2014, Victoria Nuland, the leading US diplomat for Europe and Eurasia, paid a visit to the Macedonian capital Skopje where she said that NATO’s highest priority was enlargement and that Macedonia deserves its rightful place within NATO and the European Union.

"Anyone who is not with us is against us," said once former US President George W. Bush.

This is the credo that has become more and more widespread in the modern world.  And this is also the command, to which European politicians — referring to the preservation of democratic values — subdue more and more willingly, Haderer wrote.

US Seeks to Wreck Macedonia to Satisfy Its Ambitions in EU Energy Market
Macedonia and Serbia have not supported the ‘main course’ of sanctions due to their economic situation, and now they will have to pay the high price.

The way Macedonia's opposition struggles to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski reminds of the similar scenario in Ukraine, the article said.

According to Haderer, the West seemingly wants to "clean up" all Russia-friendly connections. However, the strategy is highly explosive, because a cross-border civil war and an intra-European refugee disaster would have catastrophic consequences for the EU.

In this regard, the author called on the reader to better consider the question of whose objectives will be achieved when Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo finally become members of the European Union. Haderer questions that these are the goals of civilians, who continue to live under ethnic tensions, or the EU, which will be overwhelmed with the problems of the new “explosive” member states.

Maybe these are the interests of the United States, which are interested in overthrowing all Russia-friendly regimes to prevent the realization of the Russian lucrative "Turkish Stream" gas project? Harder asks.

However, he seems to already know the answer.
