RT — Serbia's president tells RT a 'Pandora's box' was opened when EU recognized Kosovo, not by attempt to mend ties

"How can we open a Pandora’s Box?! Who opened this Pandora’s Box in 2008 having accepted, acknowledged and recognized the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo?!" Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told RT’s Sophie Shevardnadze.
This has been as influential in influencing the world order as the expansion of NATO toward the borders of Russia and the coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine, a coup that was immediately ratified by the West. But Kosovo was arguably the beginning of the break down of the post-WWII (neo)liberal world order. 

The world has been witnessing the only beginning stages of the turmoil involved in the unfolding of a new world order that reduces the influence of the West to its proportional size, replacing the outsized role it has played for half a millennium. The drums of war are beating louder.
