Through a series of bilateral military agreements, Turkey is expanding its geopolitical influence in the Balkans, following the doctrine of 'strategic depth'. The significant agreement with Albania, worth $3.5bn, includes the deployment of Bayraktar TB2 drones and the creation of military bases. Similarly, Turkey is stepping up its activities in Kosovo, North Macedonia and Romania, offering weapons programs and even troops. Greece's reaction is passive, raising questions about its diplomatic strategy, as Turkey outlines a 'military arc' in the region, upsetting the balance of power.
