New Silk Road on the Balkans. Case of Macedonia and Serbia

Summary/Abstract: In this article I focus on the New Silk Road - the Chinese initiative– until 2016 known as the One Belt One Road Initiative OBORand later changed to the Belt and Road Initiative BRI. I put special attention to the Balkan part of this economic strategy thatis crucial and to two countries taking part in it: Macedonia andSerbia. The shortest way from Greece to Central Europe is going through Macedonia and Serbia and this track is becomingmore important after Chinese investments in Greek port of Piraeus. I focus on Chinese plans and investments in these twocountries and also on the possible threats to the initiative on theBalkans such as migrant crisis in Europe and radicalisation ofMuslims.
