“Serbia seems to have a foreign policy on steroids,” you muse (“Better Troublesome than Dull,” October 24, 2009). “For a relatively small Balkan country,” you continue, “Serbia is getting a surprising amount of attention.” Joe Bidden, America’s vice-president, came for a visit earlier this year. Russia’s president, Dmitry Medvedev, was recently there. And so was Carl Bildt, Sweden’s foreign minister very much involved in the European Union’s Balkan policy. Abdullah Gul, Turkey’s president, will visit shortly. According to Serbia’s president, Boris Tadić, and its foreign minister, Vuk Jeremić, the country’s foreign policy rests on many a distant pillar: America, Russia, China, the Union, and non-aligned countries. Not yet a formal candidate to join the Union, Serbia is playing its cards well by proverbially not putting all its eggs in one basket. But there is an ever better Balkan proverb that pertains in this case: “A clever calf sucks two cows.” In fact, the greater the number of cows to suck, the merrier. And much of this wisdom comes from an old source worth remembering when it comes to Balkan foreign policy—Josip Broz Tito himself.
