The Ukraine Crisis and the Balkans: What Risks? What Changes?

Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is an "everything changes" moment for the world. So, what has changed in the Balkans? What special risks does the Ukraine crisis hold for the region:

• for front-line states (including Slovakia, nearby to and engaged in the Balkans)?
• for states with close relations with Russia?
• for states locked in ethno-national disputes?

With its invasion stalled, will Moscow try to further stoke tensions in the Balkans?

Have opportunities opened for the US and EU? Or has less changed than one might have anticipated?
