Thank you, Chair.
Welcome to all of the witnesses appearing before our committee today.
The Russian presence in the Balkan region, in general, is historic. There are so many ties culturally, economically, in security and otherwise.
Dr. Mujanović, could you make a quick assessment of the last 10 years and Russia's role in the region? China is a bigger economic power, and it seems that it is also heavily involved in the region. I think a quick assessment would be of benefit to this study.
