The Balkans-part of Rimland! Through the viewfinder of risk threats and challenges in continuing Cold War

Summary/Abstract: If we take into account the “South Stream” agreement that signed between Balkan countries and Russia from one side and Chinese Silk Road (speed train line between Athens-Skopje-Belgrade and Budapest)then we can expect that the Balkans could again be destabilized through the old initial caps such as ethnic nationalism, various revolutions, unstable governments and so on. What will be new risks, threats and challenges for the Balkan region in recent tectonic shifts in the international political scene, will be the main subject of this paper.
