Is the Serbian regime legalizing Russian hybrid warfare against its own future?

Instead of answering the question of who within the Serbian government enabled—or failed to prevent—the operation of secret Russian training camps on our territory, camps whose purpose was to carry out sabotage and destabilize the pro-European authorities in Moldova, we were presented with the Russian Historical Society, a so-called “cultural” outpost led by Sergei Naryshkin, the director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)—the very institution currently conducting such operations around the world.

Instead of a thorough investigation and the protection of Serbia’s security and European path, we witnessed the official normalization of Moscow’s right, through history, religion, and culture, to legalize yet another center of hybrid warfare aimed at political influence in Serbia, the undermining of the European integration process, and the destabilization of our country and neighboring democratic states.

Such actions represent a direct security threat and a political capitulation to the interests of a foreign power that uses “cultural” structures as a cover for its intelligence and propaganda activities. The presence of Interior Minister Ivica Dačić symbolized Serbia’s surrender to Vladimir Putin, with the highest representatives of the Serbian Orthodox Church also in attendance. One day, many of those present will have to answer for their collaboration.
