Investments in energy and infrastructure sector are a strategic weapon in the hands of the emerging imperial forces like Russia, China and Turkey. They are used to influence political decision-making process of the countries in transition, and these are all the countries of the Western Balkans, thus also Bosnia and Herzegovina. The strongest influence is exercised in the sectors related to oil and natural gas production, processing and distribution, whilst the electricity, mining and infrastructure sectors do not significantly fall behind. Since the economy of the Western Balkan countries rests on the aforementioned sectors, these investments lead to the phenomenon of so-called “captured country”.
