“Serbian world” announces its “special military operation”, claims an agency close to the Kremlin

“Neither in the bloodiest days of the break-up of Yugoslavia, nor during the Soviet era, was there such drama around the appointment of an intelligence chief as is taking place now.” The tension is like an auction. And in a way it was an auction. In the end, the Russians won it.”

This is how the Moscow-based “RIA Novosti” agency assesses the election of Aleksandar Vulin to head the Security-Information Agency of the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

It states that “the fact that Vulin is the informal leader of the ‘Russian party’ in the government of Serbia; of all the influential people in the country, he is the most complimentary towards Russia.”

“As the leader of a country located in the West, but with his heart fixed on the East, Vucic will not stop looking at both sides. But the appointment of the ‘unacceptable to the West’ Vulin to such a sensitive post can be seen as the last inch along which the road back has been knocked.”

RIA Novosti adds that “under President Vucic there will be no betrayal of Russia”.

“This does not mean that ‘in principle there will be no betrayal’, but under Vucic it will not happen. He may be forced to leave, but he will no longer be forced to accept the West’s ultimatum.”

The commentary also writes about the “Serbian world”, a replica of the “Russian world”, whose loudest media sycophant is precisely Vulin, formerly Vucic’s minister for the army, then for the police.

“The question is which is stronger: the patriotic upsurge in the Serbian world (Serbian peace), to which the current historical rupture has shown something like a ‘window of opportunity’, or the strength in Serbia that the West has nurtured and is still nurturing for decades. There is always a special atmosphere in the Balkans. But for some reason, the issue does not seem to be resolved so much in Serbia as in Ukraine.

“If you can do it, we can do it”, a Serbian official, who wishes to remain anonymous, told us. For now”.

In conclusion, “RIA Novosti” writes that Vucic’s fate “critically depends on the results of the ‘special military operation'” (the Russian propaganda name for the bloody aggression on Ukraine)./Antena M/
