With economic backlash against the center-left President funneled into the support of center-right parties, NATO successfully transformed Croatia from a non-aligned state into one that submitteds to the will of European finance. Croatia is still a deeply divided nation with little prospect for escaping economic austerity and falling oil prices, as Croatia’s top imports and exports are both petroleum related products. Ms. Grabar-Kitarović’s must explain to the economically distressed nation why their status as a western military installation necessitates further austerity. This new stage of NATO’s aggressive Balkan experiment raises tensions in an environment filled with violent nationalists, eager to relive their World War II glory which ended with their defeat by Russia and her western allies. Economic turmoil and the opportunity for foreign investors to extract value from the distressed population only increases the desire to aggressively push east into new markets and cooperate with the aggressive political agenda of the US, regardless of the human cost.
