Moscow has warned Serbia of a looming coup, allegedly orchestrated by Western nations to incite mass riots and destabilize the country, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic revealed. This warning comes amid a wave of similar accusations from other global leaders, like the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh who claimed the US overthrew her government to capture strategic Saint Martin island and Venezuela’s President who claim the West is using covert tactics to topple his government as well. As tensions rise, Serbia’s intelligence agencies are on high alert, with Vucic confidently stating that any attempt to disrupt Serbia’s progress will fail. The opposition, however, may be gearing up to use protests against lithium mining as a catalyst for chaos, echoing the unrest seen in Ukraine.
In recent days, tensions have risen in Serbia as President Aleksandar Vucic announced that Russia has warned the country about potential mass riots. These riots, according to Vucic, are being planned by Western nations. The warning from Moscow comes at a time when similar accusations are being made by other countries like Bangladesh and Venezuela, where leaders claim that Western powers are attempting to destabilize their governments.
Recently, the Serbian President told NATO that “we’re not your proxy” reminding the Former US and NATO general Wesley Clark about his brutal legacy in the Balkans, where he was responsible for killing Serbs and Serbian children during the 1999 NATO bombings. A month later, Serbia is now facing a potential Color Revolution.
President Vucic shared that this information was delivered through official channels from Russia, and Serbia’s intelligence agency is currently investigating the situation. Vucic was firm in his response, saying that those who hope to disrupt Serbia through force will not succeed. He reassured the Serbian people that their country is moving forward and will not be stopped by these external pressures.
Reports from local Serbian newspapers suggest that some opposition members may try to exploit upcoming pro-Western protests in Belgrade to seize power by attacking the presidential palace and removing Vucic from office. This scenario is reminiscent of the events in Ukraine, which saw significant unrest and a change in leadership.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry, represented by Maria Zakharova, also voiced concerns, suggesting that harmful forces are once again trying to create instability in Serbia.
This unrest coincides with Serbia’s recent agreement with the European Union to collaborate on environmentally friendly lithium mining, a move that has sparked protests from the Serbian opposition. They argue that lithium mining could endanger the environment and public health, leading to widespread discontent and calls for nationwide protests.
The situation in Serbia is tense, with fears of both internal unrest and external interference, as the nation navigates a complex geopolitical landscape.
