"The Western Balkans are boiling", German media: The most modern
US aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford

The American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford sailed into Split a few days ago. According to the German media Frankfurter Rundschau, her arrival in Croatia is not accidental.

Accordingly, as this German media writes, the security and political atmosphere in Serbia, Bosnia and Kosovo is heated and this is probably one of the reasons why the US sent the carrier to Split.

The most modern aircraft carrier in the US arrived in Croatia a few days ago. "Good morning, Croatia!", wrote the crew on their official Twitter on the occasion of their sensational arrival in Dalmatia.

Another tweet read: “Strengthening partnership with our NATO allies in Croatia! The world's largest aircraft carrier arrives in Split, Croatia for a scheduled port visit.”

The visit comes at a time when trouble spots are erupting in the Western Balkans and while in Serbia, ultra-nationalist President Aleksandar Vučić is under pressure due to large demonstrations.

The German media recalls that at the end of May, more than 30 Italian and Hungarian soldiers of NATO's KFOR peacekeeping mission were injured in the riots in Kosovo. The Transatlantic Defense Alliance subsequently sent 700 more troops to the region, in addition to the 3,800 troops already stationed.

Then Vucic proposed sending 1,000 Serbian soldiers to Kosovo, ostensibly for the purpose of de-escalation, which, however, KFOR rejected. Vucic then accused the KFOR command of humiliating the Serbs with the alleged negative response.

Unlike neighboring Croatia (about four million inhabitants), Serbia, with about 6.8 million inhabitants, is still not part of NATO or the European Union (EU). Meanwhile, Vucic faces the country's biggest mass protests since the mass demonstrations against war criminal Slobodan Milosevic in the fall of 2000. The opposition criticizes the 53-year-old's aggressive political style.

It is also noted that the representatives of the Serbs in Bosnia (about 3.3 million inhabitants) voted to no longer recognize the decisions of the Constitutional Court there, and the American Embassy in Sarajevo called it "nonsense". And that's when the USS Gerald R. Ford sailed into Split.

The German media asks if it is an ordinary visit between partners or maybe it is a demonstration of NATO's power in the Western Balkans?

The aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford is named after the 38th president of the United States, Gerald R. Ford, who served from 1974 to 1977. The ship departed from Norfolk, United States in May, and first reached Norwegian waters, before reaching the Mediterranean.
