Sorry to infantry

During a visit to Belgrade, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev apologized for the Russian organizers of the cooked coup in Montenegro. It is reported by The Guardian with reference to a source close to the Serbian government.

As the source noted, Patrushev emphasized that the conspirators acted on their own and without the sanction of the Kremlin. According to the publication, Russians were deported from Serbia only after the intervention of the head of the Security Council.

The press service of the Council of Ministers said that Patrushev "did not apologize to anyone, since there was nothing to do with it."

"The publication in The Guardian newspaper with reference to some" sources "that Patrushev apologized for the" Russian nationalists "who planned the murder of Montenegro Prime Minister Milia Dzhukanovich, this is a classic provocation consisting in the distribution of knowingly false information," wrote the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

In October, the Montenegrin authorities detained 20 citizens of Serbia on the border. Then it was argued that they were preparing to capture the buying up after the parliamentary elections on October 16, as well as arrange firing at the opposition rally in order to provoke the assault on the parliament building. On October 25, this information was confirmed by the Prime Minister of Serbia Alexander Vucich. At the same time, he added that terrorists planned their shares "in coordination with foreigners."

On October 26, Patrushev arrived in Belgrade. He met with the highest leaders of the country. At the same time, the visit was not announced in advance, and his goal was not clearly formulated in official messages.

On October 28, on the last day of Patrushev’s stay in Belgrade, the Serbian media reported that a group of Russian citizens involved in the preparation of terrorist attacks in Montenegro was sent from the country. However, on the 30th, the head of the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs, Neboish Stefanovich , said that during a meeting with Patrushev , "there was no question of any citizens, Serbia did not deport anyone and there was no situation that someone left with Mr. Patrushev, who did not arrive with him."

Later on the same day, the police found a cache with a weapon near the house in the Belgrade microdistrict of Yainz, where the parents of Prime Minister Vuchich live, to whom he regularly comes to visit. The weapon was in the bushes at the intersection, where the Vuchich motorcade dumps speed to almost 10 kilometers per hour. Among other things, a grenade launcher, hand grenades and cartridges for a rifle were found.

On November 6, the main special prosecutor of Montenegro, Miliy Katnich said that some “nationalists from Russia” prepared the murder of the country's Prime Minister Milo Dzhukanovich in the event of the victory of his party. Having killed the prime minister, the official explained, the conspirators intended to bring the opposition party to power - which one, he did not specify.

"The criminal group was formed in the territories of Montenegro, Serbia and Russia," the prosecutor also said. "Nationalists from Russia" were the organizers of the conspiracy. The prime minister was supposed to shoot a sniper. Investigation of the conspiracy, added Katnich, is conducted in cooperation with the Serbian authorities.

On November 7, Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin was not involved in the preparation of the murder of Dzhukanovich . "We categorically deny the possibility of official involvement in any attempts to organize any unlawful actions," he said. When Peskov asked if the Montenegrin authorities turned to Russian with requests as part of the investigation, he replied: “There were no requests on the official line. I don’t know if there were requests for the special services.”
