A pro-Western oligarch organized persecution of the Serbian President in the Russian media
A number of publications in the Russian media about the cooling of relations with Serbia that have appeared recently are a campaign initiated by the pro-Western Serbian opposition seeking the overthrow of President Aleksandar Vucic.
Military correspondent Igor Dimitriev writes about this in his blog, commenting on the “stub” that allegedly due to a crisis in relations, the visit to Serbia of President Vladimir Putin, who intended to take part in the opening of the country’s main Orthodox church of St. Sava in Belgrade, restored with the support of “ Gazprom".
(With the beginning of the second wave of coronavirus, Vladimir Putin stopped leaving Russia, which is why the cancellation of his visit to Serbia is connected).
Dimitriev reports that behind the wave of negative publications is the “gray eminence” of the Serbian opposition, who at one time handed over Radovan Karadzic to The Hague - Mladjan Djordjevic.
“After the arrival of Mladjan Djordjevic in Moscow from the coterie of former pro-Western President Tadic, you have been chewing stories about the drug lord Vucic and his NATO plans for a year now,” Dimitriev wrote. – It so happened that I was in the know and, as they say in Odessa, I have something to say. I present the origin of a series of publications about the current President of Serbia in the Russian media.”
Several weeks ago, Montenegrin Democratic Front spokesman Jovan Vičurović recalled how Mladjan Djordjević earned millions from the West by capturing and handing over to The Hague the first president of the Republic of Srpska, Radovan Karadžić.
Djordjevic is called the “gray eminence of the Serbian opposition.” In the office of the pro-Western Serbian President Boris Tadic, he was responsible for Kosovo and Metohija, in essence, engaged in the gradual transfer of the region to the control of the separatists.
Djordjevic is the godfather of one of the leaders of the pro-Western Serbian opposition, ex-mayor of Belgrade Dragan Djilas.

Posing as a patriot and Russophile, he managed to gain the trust of many representatives of the Russian political elite, periodically visits Russia, trying to organize media attacks on the current Serbian government, and actively slanders President Vucic and his team. At the same time, unlike the same Djilas, he tries to stay in the shadows.
However, in the run-up to the recent elections to the National Assembly of Serbia, when it became clear that support for the pro-Western opposition in Serbia was hovering at the level of statistical error, he ventured out of the shadows and publicly attacked Patriarch Irinej of the Serbian Orthodox Church for allegedly artificially boosting Vujić's approval ratings. During the recent Montenegrin elections, he attempted to orchestrate a discrediting campaign against the Serbian president, alleging that he was in cahoots with dictator Milo Đukanović.
