Vulin, openly on the side of the Kremlin, since his appointment last December, has put pressure on Russia's opponents by spying on them and sharing any information with Moscow...
About 200 thousand Russians, who do not need a visa, went to Serbia after the outbreak of war in Ukraine at the end of February 2022, and most of them settled in Belgrade, changing the pulse of the city, writes the French newspaper "Le Figaro" today.
" We are here to start a new life ," said Maxim, who left St. Petersburg last December.
Maxim, a computer consultant, said life in Russia had become unbearable for years and added that he left the country because of the war and fear of mobilization, the French newspaper said.
According to him, Belgrade is a city with a lot of culture, with warm people, between the East and the West.
" I feel comfortable ," he said, and this feeling is shared by many Russians now in Serbia. Most are more liberal people with degrees, the so-called digital nomads, who have great purchasing power.
"Figaro" writes that this presence began to change the opinion of people in Serbia, who mostly have views close to the Kremlin.
" Serbs welcome Russians because they see our country as a brotherly country. We share the Orthodox tradition. But they are not informed about the nature of the Russian regime. I, who left Moscow out of pacifism in the week after the outbreak of war, am very surprised. Especially when you see the letter Z (Russian war symbol) written on the walls ," said a Russian named Lav.
Lav said that he and his wife come once a week to the premises of the "Krokodil" association to learn Serbian. It is there, in the bookstore, located near Sava, that the members of the Russian Democratic Society (SDR) meet every week.
Peter Nikitin, a Russian lawyer who has been living in Belgrade since 2006, assessed that it was necessary to take a step by creating that organization. The collective of peace activists is trying to warn Serbs about what is really happening in Russia, especially through public art shows in downtown Belgrade.
However , it became too much for the authoritarian regime of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Aleksandar Vulin, his loyal Chief of Intelligence (BIA). Vulin, openly on the side of the Kremlin, since his appointment last December, has put pressure on Russia's opponents by spying on them and sharing any information with Moscow," the French newspaper wrote .
"Pastaj i njëjti Vulin u mburr se kishte nënshkruar një marrëveshje me Rusinë për luftë kundër 'revolucioneve me ngjyra'". Javët e fundit, laku është shtrënguar. Më 13 korrik, Petar Nikitin, duke u kthyer nga pushimet, i është refuzuar hyrja në territorin e Serbisë, për shkak se BIA ka vlerësuar se ai paraqet rrezik për sigurinë kombëtare”, shkruan Figaro.
Petar Nikitin, një avokat rus, i cili jeton në Beograd që nga viti 2006, kaloi pothuajse 48 orë në aeroportin "Nikola Tesla" para se të kthehej në shtëpi, falë presionit të opinionit publik liberal serb.
Disa ditë më vonë, më 25 korrik, themeluesit të dytë të SDR, Vladimir Volohovski , i cili u arratis nga Shën Petersburg në fillim të luftës në Ukrainë, iu refuzua vazhdimi i lejes së qëndrimit në Serbi.
“Më thanë se jam në listën e personave që paraqesin kërcënim për sigurinë e brendshme”, tha Volohovsky, duke shtuar se denoncimin e ka bërë vetë.
Volochovsky, një ekspert i IT dhe kundërshtar i sundimit të presidentit rus Vladimir Putin, u vu në shënjestër të shërbimeve ruse të sigurisë në disa raste. Hera e fundit ishte në maj 2022. Më pas ai u dërgua në burg pasi anëtarët e autoriteteve ruse thyen derën e shtëpisë së tij dhe e plaçkitën plotësisht.
Ai u lirua disa orë më vonë, pa asnjë shpjegim. Volochovsky u largua menjëherë nga Rusia.
Rusët në Serbi besojnë se Vulin qëndron pas këtyre veprimeve kundër tyre, raportoi Figaro dhe kujtoi se më 13 korrik, autoritetet amerikane vendosën sanksione ndaj Vulin.
Vulin is accused of " using his public functions to support Russia, enabling malicious Russian activities that degrade the security and stability of the Western Balkans, and providing Russia with the opportunity to have increasing influence in the region. "
