There could not have been any better presuppositions for a cooperative phase of stable post-crisis growth and development, nor any more confrontations, disruptions and conflicts. As if the world of today is resonating to the screams from the dreadful past, more focused towards stopping the competitors than to the efforts to improve one’s own position. Trade wars wage on, whereby Ukraine declared a state of war following the incident with the Russian fleet. Nowadays, extremism, isolationism and an unconventional form of deglobalization, or in other words – general obstruction, disbelief in the power of negotiation and communion, and even despair can be seen nearly everywhere. Just like a frightened man, whose ignorance and fear of the unknown cause him to react negatively and aggressively towards anything and anyone different, so the leaders of the countries, including the entire nations of today’s world, act rather aggressively, maintaining short-sighted and erroneous conduct towards anything that may make them worry or cause any reason for concern. DEGLOBALIZATION, INCREASE OF RISK ON GLOBAL GROWTH The greatest global risks remain climate change, migrations, terrorism, the future, the abundance and redistribution of natural resources, artificial intelligence and cybercrime, the arms race ... However, all of the above is supported by general misunderstanding, lack of willingness to cooperate, and lack of actual, serious dialogue. Regardless of the numerous meetings and conferences devoted to world peace, economics, disarmament, climate changes and control, security, migrations... the participants to seem to attend such summits solely to present their own public monologue, only to finally conclude that they have listened to one another and continue to maintain their previous standpoint. On the other hand, even after the autumn (although minor, but still negative) revision of the IMF’s global growth forecast from 3.9% to 3.7%, the growth rate remains relatively high, both for year 2018 and for 2019. The effects of new customs wars, economic sanctions and political pressures on global trade and development have been estimated at 0.2% shift downwards, which should not be too disturbing if there hadn’t been for a domino effect. Any bad signal and practice of political protectionism is immediately manifested onto „small players“, which tend to imitate „big, global players“ in those worst actions. The case of 100% taxes imposed by the Pristina administration (Kosovo and Metohija) on imports of goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for purely political reasons, are to cause colossal damage to the local economy and citizens, with the possibility of causing enormous risks to security and possible conflicts that may include innocent people. One should bear in mind that, as a rule, the consequences of the global turbulence onto the small national economies cause incomparably more difficulties than they do to the large economies. The problem of expanding the practice of customs wars is caused not only by economic but also by geopolitical and military-strategic goals, as well as by the reconfiguration of global power. However, 5 that issue threatens to establish itself as a practice with the possibility of escalating into open military conflicts, drastically increasing the costs and risks to the economy of the entire planet. It took the world “without
