Why Serbia is not popular in Europe

Serbia is not popular in Europe mainly because Serbia is rich in resources, but it is at odds with the United States and European countries, which makes the United States and NATO very afraid. Therefore, Serbia is unpopular in Europe.

Serbia is located in southeastern Europe, a landlocked country in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula. The Balkans are known as the powder keg of the world, which fully illustrates the importance of its location. One fifth of the Danube, Europe's second largest river, flows through Serbia. Therefore, Serbia has a very important strategic position. Once the water source in its territory is cut off, many European countries will have water crises.

The Kosovo issue in Serbia has never been truly resolved. The United States and NATO have always recognized Kosovo as an independent country, but Serbia has never recognized it. Serbia has always adhered to its own principles on the issue of national territory. This is a deadlock between Serbia and the United States and NATO, and there is no way to reconcile it.

In addition, Serbia is very close to Russia and the Eastern powers, and the relationship is getting closer and closer. The United States and NATO are very afraid. Serbia’s economy has experienced rapid growth in recent years and has been called the “Balkan Tiger” by some.

Regional location:

Serbia is located in the center of the Balkan Peninsula in Europe, with a land area of ??88,500 square kilometers. Serbia is a country neighboring 8 countries, with a total border length of 2,457 kilometers. Among them, it has a 151-kilometer-long border with Hungary in the north; it is connected with Romania in the northeast, with a 476-kilometer border; and it borders Bulgaria in the east, with a 318-kilometer border with France.

It is bordered by Albania and Macedonia in the southeast and south respectively; it is connected with Croatia in the northwest, with a border of 241 kilometers; and it has a 312-kilometer long border with Bosnia and Herzegovina in the west. The two countries share a 211-kilometer-long shared border with Montenegro in the west.

Serbia’s geographical location on the Balkan Peninsula forms a natural bridge and crossroads between Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Near and Middle East. Serbia was originally a maritime country located on the Balkan Peninsula. With the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the independence of Montenegro in 2006, it became a landlocked country.
