A political scientist suggested how Russian tourists could replace Georgia
Russian tourists could replace Russophobic Georgia with friendly Balkan countries.
Political scientist Oleg Bondarenko stated this on the NewsFront channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Due to Soviet experience, the average Russian is closer and more understandable to the Caucasus, rather than the Balkans. But against the backdrop of recent events in Georgia, it is safer for an ordinary tourist to go for delicious meat and wine and beautiful mountains not to where they hate Russia, but to the Balkans. To the same Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro. The Moscow-Tbilisi ticket and the Moscow-Banja Luka ticket cost the same,” Bondarenko said.
At the same time, the expert says, Serbia is now an absolutely friendly country to Russia.
“Current President Aleksandar Vucic is the most understandable and predictable politician. He is a pro-Russian politician. Left the Serbian Radical Party, which takes ultra-patriotic positions on Russia, Donbass, and Crimea. There is no need to be afraid that he is pursuing politics not only with Moscow, but also with Paris and Berlin. Russian business entered Serbia ten years ago and is actively working,” Bondarenko said.
