The price of Vučić's departure to Montenegro: the European route through Ćaciland

While Aleksandar Vučić appears before European officials as a factor of "peace and stability", his trip to the summit in Tivat follows the propaganda work of "Informer", a charter flight with 87 loyalists, a warning from the BIA and increased controls of Montenegrin citizens at the borders with Serbia. Does the attempt to move "Ćaciland" across the border show what Serbia's European path looks like?

Services in the jaws of the media

When it comes to media narratives, the news is the positive propaganda about the Russian FSB that appeared when Alexander Vulin was the director of the BIA and the minister of the interior. Then the so-called The working group for the fight against color revolutions, which consists of members of the Russian and Serbian security apparatus. This narrative intensified after the fall of the canopy

Murder in front of security guards

The murder of Filip Ivanović, a member of the Skaljar clan, in Belgrade on the water has opened up a series of questions for which an answer is suspected - instead of chasing criminals, the police and security structures are bodyguards and nannies for persons on Interpol warrants who find refuge in the most elite part of the Serbian capital.

Who is doing all this in Serbia?

The days of "open doors" for various persons of security interest continue and it is not entirely clear who controls that sector. It is possible to do the same as in foreign policy - arrests are made on all sides, they are released on all sides, depending on the given political moment - so in the same week, Radoičić and Nedić are on the side of the regime, and Russian spies who are trained and bred in Serbia are arrested.
