This dissertation addresses a questions’ set; what a hybrid threat is? Does Russia has
hybrid strategy and if yes, which are its characteristics? Does Russia applies such
strategy against the Balkans? The main research problem, in which the question is
referred, is the delimitation of hybrid threats and Russia’s hybrid strategies in the
Balkans.
The methodology we are going to follow is the qualitative method, using references
from the theory of international relations, the field of strategic studies, geopolitics and
history. In the essay after the definition of hybrid threat, we argue that Russia has
hybrid strategy, by analyzing it and by giving recent examples.
In the first chapter we analyze and clarify the term “hybrid threat”, in the second,
Russia’s hybrid strategy in theory and in the third some cases of Russia’s hybrid
strategy in the Balkans. In the section of conclusions, there are the results of the
findings and author’s opinion.
