The historian explained the allocation of € 13 million by the European Commission for the development of infrastructure in the Western Balkans

“We are talking about the fact that the EU is pointwise strengthening its position in a region that is not easy for itself.

Not everyone here shares anti-Russian sentiments,” Shapovalov notes.

The historian clarified that elections were held in Bosnia, the result of which was the strengthening of "the position of those forces ... that are in favor of normalizing relations with Russia and rapprochement with Russia."

“These funds will be used for purposes aimed at combating the so-called Russian influence, aimed at supporting anti-Russian narratives, supporting those forces that are fighting Russia,” he said.

Earlier it became known that the European Commission will spend €13 million on infrastructure development in the Western Balkans.
