Sputnik Srbija emphasises
division in the Western Balkans, presenting pro-Western forces as ‘weak’
and ‘corrupt’, aiming to subordinate their neighbours. That is one of
the conclusions of a report
published by the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence
(NATO Stratcom CoE). It analysed the online version of the
Kremlin-sponsored outlet Sputnik in the Serbian language for a period of
one year (the whole year of 2018).
Sputnik Srbija has been operational since 2015. Due to language similarities between the Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian languages, it reaches audiences also in the other Western Balkans countries. NATO Stratcom CoE focused on a sample of articles which relate to eight topics: the six Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia), the EU and NATO, with the aim to deduct the main narratives Sputnik Srbija promoted on these issues.
Sputnik Srbija’s reporting reinforces the perception of a division between ‘pro-Western’ and ‘pro-Eastern’ sides in the Western Balkans, the research says. Those close to the West (Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro) were depicted more negatively and often associated with crime and corruption. They were presented as if they had lost “sovereignty” to the West, leaving them with “little power” and autonomy in decision-making. Serbia was presented as sympathising with Russia and therefore a “success-story in the region”.
Western Balkans as a battlefield?
NATO Stratcom CoE observed Sputnik Srbija articles which downplayed aspirations of some of the countries to join the NATO or the EU. The researchers identified 617 articles promoting the narrative that the EU is “hegemonic”. Occasionally, the reporting also focused on disagreements within the EU on the enlargement policy. 386 articles claimed that the Western Balkans were under the influence of the EU, referring as an example at the EU’s involvement in the name change referendum in North Macedonia. “The EU is not able to handle the refugee crisis”, was a narrative pushed in 75 Sputnik articles.
360 articles presented the Western Balkans as a “battle field” of the EU, with 189 articles mentioning the EU in competition with Russia. Kosovo in particular was presented as a playground for rivalry with Russia, whereas Russia is presented as supporting the Serbs in Kosovo, in opposition to the EU, which is claimed to be on the side of the Albanians in Kosovo.
Sputnik Srbija “presumably behaves like a professional media outlet”, the report finds. 88% of the articles analysed were news reports and many of them reported neutrally on the facts. These were occasionally combined with false and exaggerated elements, put out of context to shape public opinion. A neutral or opposing tone (one third of the articles) was alternated with a negative tone (65% of the articles analysed). Like other Kremlin-sponsored media, narratives promoted by Sputnik Srbija often trigger feelings of fear, unease and insecurity.

CORONAVIRUS: COVERAGE
Die billigste gekaufte Gestalt, rund um Betrug, schwafelt etwas von Start Ups und Fake News aussortieren. Real wie das Adviser Board,, beim EU, Pentagon, NATO Betrugs Spektakel zeigt, ist man umgeben von höchsten Geheimdienst, Pentagon und NATO Verbrechern, als Feigenblatt, wie man soviel Lügen für Krieg und den Corona Betrug verbreiten kann. Von dümmlicher krimineller Energie getragen, wird man bezahlt, wie eine Prostituierte für Kriegs, Pharma, Corona Betrug um das zu koordinieren. Pünktlich, für den Corona Betrug, die einheitliche Falsch Medien Verbreitung für Panik Mache, wurde die Frau installier. Abteilich: "useful Idiots" im NATO, EU Bereich.
Nützliche Idiotin, sitzt in Mitten von Militär, Geheimdienstleuten, will Nichts gemerkt haben und lässt sich von den dunklen Mächten finanzierten und mit Posten versorgen. Software, welche NATO Lügen besser verbreiten will, wie EU Lügen, echte Fachleute gezielt ausschaltet, mit Facebook , google, Druck auf Provider aber auch Mord in Notfalle.
„Die Medienvielfalt zu sichern, ist eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Aufgabe“, sagt Alina Fichter und „dazu braucht es verbindliche Spielregeln.“

Fact sheet zum „Strategischen Kommunikationsteam Ost“ des Europäischen Auswärtigen Dienstes
Am 1. September 2015 nahm das von der Europäischen Union (EU) eingesetzte Team für „Strategische Kommunikation“ (EU EAST STRATCOM) die Arbeit auf. Es ist Teil des Referats für „Strategische Kommunikation“ des Europäischen Auswärtigen Dienstes (EAD). Die EAD-Abteilung will die politischen EU-Ziele in der östlichen Nachbarschaft „vorantreiben“. „Zielländer“ sind Russland, die Ukraine, Georgien, Moldau, Weißrussland, Armenien und Aserbaidschan. Zielgruppe sind laut dem Auswärtigen Amt „u.a. politische Entscheidungsträger, Medienschaffende, zivilgesellschaftlich Engagierte und Jugendliche“.............................
Das EU EAST STRATCOM soll im engen Austausch mit EU-Mitgliedstaaten, NATO, OSZE und Europarat sowie Partnerländern der EU stehen. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist das in Riga eröffnete „NATO Exzellenzzentrum für Strategische Kommunikation“ (Center of Excellence for Strategic Communication, CoE StratCom). Angeblich gibt es bislang keine „formale“ Kooperation der Abteilungen des EAD und der NATO. Es werde jedoch laut dem Auswärtigen Amt „für fachliche Zwecke und zum Informationsaustausch Verbindung gehalten“. Der EAD erhält etwa Berichte des CoE.
Der Mogherini-Aktionsplan zu strategischer Kommunikation ist laut Auswärtigem Amt „ein lebendiges Dokument, das kontinuierlich fortgeschrieben und weiterentwickelt wird“. Die drei (derzeitigen) Ziele sowohl des Aktionsplans als auch des EU EAST STRATCOM sind demnach „wirksame Kommunikation von und Werben für EU-Politiken und –Werten in der östlichen Nachbarschaft, Stärkung des Medienumfelds insgesamt inklusive Unterstützung für unabhängige Medien und verbessertes öffentliches Bewusstsein von Desinformationsaktivitäten seitens Dritter und verbesserte EU-Reaktionsfähigkeit darauf“.
Zudem soll es „verschiedene Netzwerke mit den EU-Institutionen und Mitgliedstaaten geben“, um die jeweiligen Kommunikationsaktivitäten besser zu koordinieren. Weitere Netzwerke sollen in der Region der Östlichen Partnerschaft mit Regierungen, Medienvertretern und Vertretern der Zivilgesellschaft aufgebaut werden. Eines dieser informellen „Netzwerke“ ist vermutlich der Club von Venedig (Club of Venice), in dem sich „Kommunikationsexperten“ aus den EU-Mitgliedstaaten organisieren.
