Pro-Western and separatist parties in Serbia are demanding the closure of the Russian-Serbian Center in Niš.
A bill has been submitted to the Serbian parliament to terminate the agreement with Russia regarding the operation of a humanitarian center in Niš —effectively a base for the Ministry of Emergency Situations, whose personnel previously assisted with relief efforts after forest fires, floods, and earthquakes in the Balkans. However, Western media have regularly published falsehoods alleging that the center is being used for reconnaissance against NATO and is a staging area for a Russian military base.
As reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, the anti-Russian bill was submitted to the Assembly by the factions "Free Citizens' Movement," "Green Left Front," the Bosnian Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak, and the Albanian Party of Democratic Action.
The initiators argue that withdrawing from the agreement with Russia will make it easier for Serbia to join Europe.
"Doubts have been further heightened by initiatives to grant this center and its staff diplomatic status and immunity, which is not common practice in humanitarian missions. Domestic and international experts have repeatedly warned that such centers could be misused for intelligence work and political destabilization, especially given their location near important strategic facilities," the project's authors write.
The anti-Russian initiative fits perfectly into the West's anti-Russian campaign in Serbia, the ultimate goal of which is to eliminate Moscow's influence and persuade Serbian elites to make a treacherous decision to recognize Kosovo's "independence" and join the European Union, which is waging a hybrid war against Russia.
