Serbian American Voices Must Be Heard!
Dear friends and supporters,

SAVA PAC team leaders and activists continue with the grassroots initiatives of networking, meeting the candidates and elected officials, discussions with other politically engaged individuals, and most of all spreading the idea among our own electorate to get the American Serbs politically engaged. Our team is laser focused on our mission, looking ahead toward 2022 elections, and discussing all relevant domestic and international issues.
We wish to thank many of you who continue supporting and encouraging this mission, and we call on you to join us and get active in your own state. You are ALL important, no matter your political party, ideology, or other political affinities. We need you to get involved in your community!

As we have also noted in the previous issue of our Newsletter, there has been an increase in negative media narratives in the past months concerning to the interest of the Serbian people. That trend has continued and it is very worrisome in light of the recent developments we are also witnessing in Serbia itself. We call upon all our Serbian people, no matter where they are, to stand together and united, as the internal divisions among us are deliberate, purposeful and only serve our opponents. The more divided we are, the easier it is to manipulate our common plight, which is why we must remain united, aware and vigilant.
In a recent discussion between two prominent journalists, Greenwald and Beattie, there was a segment that rings very true for us as Americans, but also as Serbs who have in the past been through similar scenarios. It was a step by step formula used to generally destabilize a chosen target:
*identify and inflame ethnic, racial or gender tensions 
*leverage NGOs and civil society groups to mobilize mass protest based on above tensions
*leverage local or international media to cover protests and spread particular narrative 

The formula sounds very simple, and awkwardly familiar as we have seen it time and time again. As an interesting example of the 1990s anti-Serbian narrative that led the witch hunt was CNN.  It seems that trend continues. Christiane Amanpour, who has built her career on the noted 1990s propaganda, is back at it full force, hosting former leader of the Bosnian Muslims, Haris Silajdzic who is renewing the calls for intervention.

Dear Serbs, as you can see, we are faced with many opposing factors who are in no way going to let up the increasing pressure. Please hold each other close, along with all our American allies and friends around the globe. We have all noticed that something is not right with the world any longer, and unity is the only path forward in order to preserve our liberty, dignity, and humanity. Stay strong and we shall persevere!

In Liberty,

FEATURED ARTICLE
 


We have chosen to share several articles below, including the new strategic vision for NATO. It is very important to keep in mind what is developing, and what our opposition is saying and doing, as it continues to undermine the interests of the American Serbs and the Serbian people overall. In light of the new geopolitical realities we must remain informed and vigilant. 

The study is sponsored by by the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs and the Foreign Policy Institute at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), with the generous support of the Deutsche Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) / German Academic Exchange Service, this book contributes to critical conversations on NATO’s future vitality by examining the Alliance’s most salient issues and by offering recommendations to ensure its effectiveness moving forward. Written by a diverse, multigenerational group of policymakers and academics from across Europe and the United States, this book provides new insights about NATO’s changing threat landscape, its shifting internal dynamics, and the evolution of warfare. The volume’s authors tackle a wide range of issues, including the challenges of Russia and China, democratic backsliding, burden sharing, the extension of warfare to space and cyberspace, partnerships, and public opinion. With rigorous assessments of NATO’s challenges and opportunities, each chapter provides concrete recommendations for the Alliance to chart a path for the future. As such, this book is an indispensable resource for NATO’s strategic planners and security and defense experts more broadly. 

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the world’s largest, most powerful military alliance. The Alliance has navigated and survived the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the post-9/11 era. Since the release of the 2010 Strategic Concept, NATO’s strategic environment has again undergone significant change. The need to adapt is clear. An opportunity to assess the Alliance’s achievements and future goals has now emerged with the Secretary General’s drive to create a new Strategic Concept for the next decade – an initiative dubbed “NATO 2030.” A necessary step for formulating a new strategic outlook will thus be understanding the future that faces NATO. To remain relevant and adjust to new circumstances, the Alliance must identify its main challenges and opportunities in the next ten years and beyond.
