Bc large empires don’t like to directly declare war on each other, and want to be seen as the defender that is helping a smaller state resist their imperial rival.

And the Balkans are a mix of ethnic groups, religions, and cultures that many Western empires found common causes with. So an empire could turn a proxy war into a hot war if the alliances align just right.

It's some random guys in a militia firing warning shots at NATO troops just to be assholes. Not ideal, but nothing to shit your pants over. Serbia clearly doesn't have control of the situation, but they really don't want a confrontation with NATO.

Russia, on the other hand, might want Serbia to have that conflict with NATO.

Russia also wanted their help fighting in Ukraine. Serbia wasn't interested.
