The Serbian intelligence service is headed by Russophile Alexander Vulin
Former Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin has been appointed head of the country's intelligence agency, the BIA, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The decision to appoint Aleksandar Vulin as head of the BIA ( Bezbednostno informativna agencija – Security and Information Agency ) was made on December 1 at a meeting of the Serbian government.
In the previous government of Serbia, Alexander Vulin headed the Ministry of Internal Affairs, previously was the Minister of Defense, as well as the Minister of Labor and Social Policy. When the new Serbian government was formed, his name was immediately mentioned as the future head of the intelligence service. In fact, a kind of rotation has taken place, since the previous head of the BIA, Bratislav Gasic, is now the Minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia.
Alexander Vulin is considered one of the main Russophiles in the highest echelons of power in Serbia. For example, in October of this year, he said that friendship with Russia is of serious importance for Belgrade, and without it Serbia risks physically disappearing. He has repeatedly and publicly opposed Serbia's imposition of sanctions against Russia.
As PolitNavigator reported , in August 2022, Alexander Vulin paid a working visit to Moscow, which provoked strong discontent in Brussels.
