Another reaction was published by the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Belgrade to the Serbian media, following a clash that took place yesterday between them.

This time, the reaction is related to the Serbian daily Blic, which published an article on the front page, which says, "Russia is behind the riots in Serbia", Telegraph reports. On its Facebook page, the embassy said that "Blic's writing is an anti-Russian sketch." Otherwise, in the article published on August 10, Blic had emphasized the activity of the so-called "Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center", which is located in Nis, Serbia, which was said to be an "espionage center". The Russian embassy is very upset about this. The Serbian daily also mentioned the intensification of Russian activity in cyberspace in the region and especially in Serbia. Yesterday's clash of the embassy with the Serbian media marks a link in the latest phenomenon that is happening in Serbia. In early July, violent demonstrations took place in Belgrade for four days in a row. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic described them as organized by Serbia's far right, which has strong ties to the Kremlin. What has been highlighted as special in these violent demonstrations in front of the Assembly of Serbia, is the presence of foreign nationals, among whom a Russian. The correspondent of the ‘Russia Today’ propaganda television, Boris Malagurski also privately called for an increase in the number of anti-government protesters in Belgrade. This, his call, was considered unusual and dangerous in Belgrade. Following these events, Russian-Serbian relations have significantly deteriorated. Especially to the Russian propaganda media “Russia Today” and “Sputnik. Even on social networks in Serbia, RT is called SMRT, which in Serbian means "death".
