Bosnia’s Security Minister, himself an ethnic Serb from RS opposition, claims to have evidence of ongoing preparations by the #Dodik regime in the RS to sabotage Oct elxns, including use of violence in co-op w org crime & paramilitary groups. klix.ba/vijesti/bih/me…
Interesting note: I've said repeatedly that Dodik's association w Russian & Russian-trained paramilitaries is primarily intended to liquidate RS opposition. Mektic confirms as much, noting that was part of Zakhar Prilepin's task. vijesti.ba/clanak/418228/…
Mektic also hints at something that has been rumored for some time: Prilepin & other Russian militants & intelligence operatives have been freely entering BiH for at least two yrs, outside normal border procedures (i.e. via clandestine infiltration, all of it thru the RS).
So, Putin’s paramilitary “biker gang” the Night Wolves is not only organizing film screenings in #Bosnia’s RS, which are attended by high ranking figures in #Dodik’s govt, but there’s now also a local chapter of said gang. Ominous development for BiH. ba.n1info.com/a268931/Vijest…
Recall, this organized crime syndicate just “toured” the region like a boy band, only weeks after news broke that Russia was training & equipping a still different far-right group based out of Serbia, one that was also assisting the Dodik regime. rferl.org/a/night-wolves…
This was @julianborger’s report from January on that group, “Serb(ian) Honor”. So, we now have at least two distinct Russian-backed paramilitaries cooperating w the Dodik regime ahead of #Bosnia’s Oct elxns. Extremely alarming. theguardian.com/world/2018/jan…
