As there is a “thunderous” silence from the "opposition" media and 🇷🇸NGOs; and "pro-🇪🇺" groups are spreading disinfo on me, I managed to "steal" a media chance to say a few words about the physical violence against us at "opposition" protests where clerical and "disguised" 🇷🇺 flags are allowed 1/2 👇

NIFA presents Veljko Mijušković (1985), one of several Belgrade University professors who, with Zorana Mihajlović (1970), pushes pro-Russian disinfo. They argue:
• No 🇷🇺 sanctions; keep “4 pillars" of Serbian foreign policy
• No lex specialis against Putin’s 🇷🇺
• “No alternative” to 🇷🇺 gas 👇

Last night by Aleksandar Kavčić (1968):
* Linked to Serbian student plenums due to inaction of most “pro-Western” activists 🇷🇸
* Says EU & 🇺🇸 should partner with Russia, not sanction it
* 🇷🇺 has growth and no debt
* 🇷🇸 should seek its future in the East
* Claims the student movement is “authentic” 👇

* Official 🇷🇸–🇷🇺 talks focus only on how 🇷🇺 can keep its regional influence
* Tadić and Koštunica’s “four pillars” foreign policy under Vučić shrank to two: Moscow and Beijing
* 🇭🇷 joined the EU/NATO after jailing PM Sanader for corruptly handing INA to Hungary

1/2 My today on Euronews TV:
* A debate with the host about 🇷🇺 aggression against 🇺🇦
* Serbia is 🇷🇺’s closest ally and became a vassal of 🇷🇺 interests through the 2008 energy deal
* The price 🇷🇸 pays for 🇷🇺 gas remains opaque
* 🇷🇸 deliberately blocked gas diversification to increase its dependence on 🇷🇺

- Serbian parties DS/DSS/G17+/SPS/SRS(SNS) sealed it with 2008 energy deal with Russia
- CBAM (carbon) EU tariffs
- Serbia’s green (non-nuclear) transition path is the path to EU 👇

TV N1 Maja Dragić hosted Jelica Putniković employed at Russian Sputnik:
- “unjust” US sanctions
- NIS must not be nationalized
- Russia will cut off our gas
I’d have much to say, but debunking 🇷🇸/🇷🇺 disinfo is limited — especially since I publicly raised the EU, 🇺🇦, 🇬🇪 flags at students protests 👇

NIFA presents Vova Lučić — Dejan’s son and ally of war criminal Frenki Simatović, ex-Serbian security official.
With extremist GONGO Damnjan Knežević, he spreads pro-Russian disinfo backed by Zepter company.
They also claim student protests removed most pro-EU candidates from their list👇

Highlights: ‘God-pleasing’ KGB news from the Kremlin:
Serbia’s “first lady” Tamara Vučić visited Russian Patriarch Kirill, who calls 🇷🇺 aggression against 🇺🇦 a “holy war.”
She was accompanied by Bishop Stefan Šarić of Remeziana, known for enjoying worldly hedonism:

DJB & Saša Radulović are fringe, but ideas prop up A. Vučić w/ Vladimir Pavićević’s platform they spread disinfo:
- push pro-🇷🇺: West/NATO ‘collapsing’; BRICS up
- Trump ‘stolen’ 2020
- 🇩🇪 wants 🇷🇸 lithium colony, Klet promotes 🇷🇸 crimes in 🇽🇰
- N1/Nova S ‘back pro-EU,’ not pro-🇷🇺 (Vukadinović)

This morning:
- 🇷🇸 and 🇷🇺 remain closest allies; cooperation with 🇪🇺 is out of necessity
- Most of today’s gov’t and “opposition” surrendered 🇷🇸 interests to 🇷🇺 in 2008. deal
- The main issue is the “4 pillars” policy started by DS/DSS/G17 and continued by SNS since 2012.

My appearance tonight on 'Usijanje':
- Serbia will be legally obliged to launch bankruptcy proceedings against NIS — similar cases happened in 🇺🇸, 🇩🇪, etc
- NIS involved in pro-Russian propaganda
- 🇷🇸 media will again blame the 'collective West' just like in the 1990s

I was interviewed by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP):
“I do not expect official Belgrade to make any move that does not receive a green light from the Kremlin.”

U.S. Sanctions on Serbian Oil Giant NIS Take Effect Despite Expected Delay

The move targets Serbia’s largest energy company, majority-owned by Russia’s Gazprom Neft, increasing pressure on Belgrade to reduce its reliance on Moscow.

Me at TV Una:
- The 2008 handover of Serbian NIS to Russia paved the way for SNS’s 2012 rise.
- 🇷🇸's govt & much of its “opposition” depend on the Kremlin.
- Main tools of 🇷🇺/🇨🇳 influence: anti-EU disinfo on Jadarite ore
- Srbijagas acts as a state within a state.

Me for TV N1 today on sanctions against NIS:
- imposed also due to pro-🇷🇺 disinfo in the so-called “Serbian world”
- serving Kremlin’s interests over 🇷🇸 citizens, Serbia’s political-economic elites avoid acting under the 🇷🇸 law to temporarily nationalize NIS

In the new DLZ episode, prof. Vanja Bajović failed to grasp that true reform of Serbia’s justice system requires lustration of pro-Russian cadres in security services and media. Her stance only fuels another failed protest and promotes new pro-🇷🇺 “opposition” figures like Štimac, Kavčić, Lompar. 👇

The primary litmus test of a person’s integrity in Serbia is their stance toward the aggression against Ukraine and Gaza.
Because everyone’s “against” thieves.
Ognjen Radonjić (1974) claims that "the war in 🇺🇦 is mainly directed against China and that the 🇺🇸 wants it to last as long as possible." 👇

Mio Kapor @miokapor.bsky.social · 8d

Anyone in Serbia with integrity must publicly show symbols of EU, 🇺🇦, 🇬🇪.
Words without action mean nothing — especially online “heroism.”
We left responsibility to 20-year-olds, and that’s why we have Kavčić, Lompar etc as students favorites.

Sead Spahović this morning on TV Nova:
The key point — genuine pro-Western Serbian groups should carry 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇪 flags at protests as symbols of resistance.
That’s the conditio sine qua non for changing the system in 🇷🇸.
Due to lack of courage, but for few individuals, students protests don't have that 👇

The bombing of Gaza unites some so-called “oppositional, anti-Putin” Serbian public figures and pro-Russian GONGO groups.
Vladan Glišić (1970) on Tomislav Crnogorac’s (1965) show called for a “brutal crackdown” on converted Serbs in Zagreb — as 🇮🇱 supposedly does “rightfully” against Palestinians👇

NIFA presents civil engineer Srbislav Rašković (1962) — a functionary of the so-called “opposition” pro-🇷🇸/🇷🇺 nationalist-revisionist group MOBA of Branko Dragaš:
A mix of conspiracy tropes.
W/out adequate integrity among Serbia’s so-called“pro-Western” groups, students protests echo 🇷🇺 narratives 👇

Breaking the blockade at Serbian opposition media 😉.
After almost a year, I was again interviewed by TV N1. Of course, I didn’t miss the chance to note that one reason for sanctions against NIS-Gazpromneft is their role in spreading pro-Russian propaganda across the so-called “Serbian World.” 👇

Mio Kapor @miokapor.bsky.social · 12d

Three key points blocking a change of power in Serbia backed by domestic & foreign intelligence:
1️⃣ Pro-Russo-Serbian national-revisionist propaganda
2️⃣ Anti-EU narrative around the Jadar mine
3️⃣ Pro-🇮🇱 Islamophobic/xenophobic propaganda by so-called “pro-Western” actors
👉 NIFA monitors all of this.

Mio Kapor @miokapor.bsky.social · 12d

Exactly.
While Serbia is Russia—thanks to the gutless opportunism of Serbia’s so-called ‘pro-EU, anti-Putin heroes,’ cowards too afraid to defend even the values they pretend to stand for 👇

At TV Newsmax:
- Serbia can quickly compensate for the cutoff of Russian gas but Srbijagas does not publish prices transparently.
- “Lower” gas prices come with geopolitical concessions, while 🇷🇸 acts as a political follower of 🇷🇺 interests.
