It's the game between the big ones and modern imperialisms and it's always the small (or smaller) nations' interests that suffer.

As for this "Slavic" thing, Russia (by that I mean their politics not nation of course) doesn't care much about Serbia and "Slavdom", but about their own interests too. Once again they use "Slavic brotherhood" as a mask for their imperialistic ideas.

Probably, linking Turkey and EU together is subordinated to the goal of expanding United States American presence in Europe, and in Asia, partly through Europe and partly by other routes. European nations are only being used as markers on the board, I think, and the same goes for Turkey.
