APSTRAKT/REZIME:

Turkey’s involvement in the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 was caused by the need to reinforce Turkey’s influence in the Western community, safeguard its regional interests, and support the election campaign. Turkey tried to correlate its policy with that of the West. However, the fundamental interests of Turkey and the West did not coincide. This was “Turkey’s Balkan Dilemma”.

 

KLJUČNE REČI: Aggression, Albania, Balkans, Turkey’s Balkan Dilemma, Bombing, Kosovo, NATO, Turkey, Yugoslavia
