The NATO intervention in the Kosovo War and the subsequent recognition of Kosovo's independence in 2008 sparked sharp reactions and political debates within the field of international relations. The events that marked the conclusion of the 1990s, characterized by numerous regional and intra-state conflicts, have evolved into what is commonly known as the "Kosovo precedent." This emergence represents a significant turning point in international affairs, where territorial integrity and humanitarian concerns converge. This study critically examines Russia's strategic narratives, focusing on the application of the Kosovo precedent in its foreign policy. Through a thorough analysis of key political communications, it delves into how Russia constructs and deploys narratives related to Kosovo, highlighting their instrumental role in advancing the country's geopolitical objectives. By emphasizing the strategic nature of these narratives, the research examines their evolution, with a specific focus on a pivotal shift in 2008. The subsequent evaluation of the results critically assesses how these narratives align with the broader Russian identity and worldview and investigates the potential implications for international affairs. Finally, the study aims to contribute to the academic debate by providing valuable insights into the dynamics of strategic narratives and their profound impact on international relations.
