"The best populist strategy used in this region is Milošević’s strategy. Today, he is mainly studied as a nationalist leader, but in essence he represented a par excellence case of a populist politician."
"Orban is the worst example that the EU could give to the Balkans and its corrupt politicians."
"Incertitude in the EU comes more so as a result of the inability to manage critical voices within the EU than as a consequences of Great Britain’s exit."
"The toleration that has been shown for Serbia is problematic, but so is the toleration for the five countries that have not recognized Kosovo, which is the second dimension of contestation of the European project in Kosovo."
" The EU has completely disregarded Kosovo as a political actor."
