Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić said that the Russian security service “supplied information” about possible incidents at the protest in Belgrade, while she accused the opposition coalition “Serbia Against Violence” of attempting to “violently destabilize the state.”
She stated that during the campaign, before the elections held on December 17, she “warned about the intentions of the opposition”.
“First of all, data was delivered to us by the Russian security service in this way. When I personally shared it with some ambassadors, they accused us of spreading misinformation, untruths, that we trust the Russian service and that it’s all nonsense,” said Brnabić.
She said that it probably “will not be popular with those from the West”, but that she must thank the Russians.
On December 24, the largest opposition coalition “Serbia against violence”, for the seventh night in a row, organized protests in Belgrade demanding the annulment of the elections.
The ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), whose official is Ana Brnabić, is accused of election theft, which the party and the state leadership deny. SNS declared victory at all levels, including Belgrade.
More than 30 demonstrators were arrested in a police operation last night in the center of Belgrade, after the incidents that started in front of the city hall.
A part of the masked people targeted the building of the city hall, while the police inside the building threw tear gas at them, Klix.ba writes.
