About 60 foreign services are active in Serbia, says expert - PoliticsEnglish 6-8 minutes _____ Serbia is targeted by intelligence services of some 60 countries, which plan subversive acts, fake news, and disturbance of the public. Source: Tanjug Friday, June 15, 2018 | 10:31 (Getty Images, file, illustration purposes) This is according to professor Milan Mijalkovski, former dean at the Faculty of Security, who told the daily Politika that "everything that is happening in Serbia can also be observed through some internal reason, but should be brought into context of foreign factors' interests." According to him, the situation in Serbia and the region should be viewed as a system of communicating vessels. Mijalkovski pointed out to the sharp clash in this region of the geopolitical interests of the world's biggest powers - the United States, Russia and China, Turkey as a regional powers, but also the transnational factor ignored by many - the Islamists. Then there's the "aggressive posture" of the West, above all the EU, in terms of Kosovo and Metohija, he continued. Based on his experience and long-term monitoring of the situation, Mijalkovski said that Serbia is being "investigated" by intelligence services of about 60 countries. "Bearing in mind that they have been doing this for almost three decades, it means they have created such positions, such influential agency in Serbia that is ready, trained, educated to perform diverse subversive activities, starting with pressure groups, launching all kinds of fake news, disturbing the public. Their capabilities are respectable and they are constantly strengthened by various activities, primarily secret, but also public," he said. Asked what the main goal is, Mijalkovski replied that they want to force Serbia to recognize as soon as possible the fake state of Kosovo. "As resistance toward such a goal grows, it's to be expected that they will amplify various types of pressure. I think that is how we should look at the current security situation and perspectives," Mijalkovski said. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
