From Crisis to Stability: How to Effectively Solve Crises and Conflicts to Foster Development?

December 6, 2015From Crisis to Stability: How to Effectively Solve Crises and Conflicts to Foster Development?” – it is the title of Carl Bildt’s lecture, which was held on 4th December in the University of Warsaw. This man is a famous Swedish politician and diplomat who was Prime Minister of Sweden (1991-94) and Minister for Foreign Affairs (2006-14). In his opinion carrying out of peacekeeping operation in Donbass region similarly to UN Mission to Eastern Slavonia (Croatia) in the course of Serbian-Croatian conflict could be an optimum alternative to resolve Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

According to Carl Bildt, peacekeeping mission to the Eastern Slavonia proved its value and 80% of the goals were fulfilled. He reminded also that the territory occupied by Serbia has been returned to Croatia and nowadays no one remembers this armed conflict anymore. "You also can act similarly and it will be in the interest of Ukraine, Russian Federation, and European security as well” stressed Mr. Bildt.
He also pointed out that in the April 2014 the President of Russian Federation Vladimir Putin was absolutely convinced of being able by using Ukraine’s weakness and Russian propaganda machine to create so-called “New Russia” inside of Ukraine within 2-3 months. It did not happen, so President Putin lost.
