Elections in some Balkan countries, but also political crises in others, have been the focus of Russian diplomacy.

Numerous statements were issued after the elections in Macedonia. Many have been tough for the accession of Montenegro to NATO. The most recent criticism for elections in Kosovo.

Moscow described as follows radicalization of the Kosovo policy, the fact that the winning coalition came out of the former KLA, the former top commander Ramush Haradinaj.

But this approach Moscow, ever increase on the Western Balkans, but also in other countries of the East, it has again attracted the attention of the Senate.

Just a few weeks after the deposit of the resolution, which called for a ban of Moscow influence in the election of several countries, including Albania, another request was filed a few days ago in the Senate.

It is an initiative of Democratic Senator Benjamin Cardin, which requires Senate approval of a number of measures to ban Russian influence in Europe and Eurasia.

In the text of the document, already submitted to the Senate, Cardin requires that the 2018-2019 budget years, the United States anticipate a budget of $ 250 million to stop Russian influence in these areas.

The list of vulnerable countries and will have to benefit from this fund are Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, Macedonia, Moldova, Kosovo, Serbia and Ukranina.

But what is the main goal? Senator Cardin provides that these funds assisted in the protection of critical infrastructures and electoral mechanisms to cyber attacks, fighting corruption and strengthening the rule of law, having an independent judiciary. Also required to increase the capacity of civil society, media, non-governmental organizations against the growing influence and propaganda of the Russian Federation in several states.
