Sažetak
Russian utilization of reflexive control plays a pivotal role in advancing its foreign policy objectives. This strategic concept involves shaping an adversary's perception and decision-making processes to achieve desired outcomes without direct confrontation. The Russian government employs reflexive control across various domains, including intelligence, strategic communication, and diplomacy. The EU has recognized these manipulative methods and labelled them as Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).
This paper endeavors to conduct an in-depth analysis of Kremlin's application of reflexive control to influence decision making processes in Serbia. The study closely examines how Russia successfully manipulated the information landscape to its benefit by understanding and shaping the internal dynamics of its partner and leveraging existing fault lines. By capitalizing on the internal tensions, Russia made Serbia permissive to the reflexive control manipulation and influenced the outcomes in a way that aligns with Kremlin’s own foreign policy objectives. This paper analysis contributes to a better understanding of the intricate dynamics between reflexive control strategies and their impact on the national and international political landscape.
