The Telegraph published photographs taken by European special services, which, according to the publication, are key evidence that Russian intelligence officers tried to organize a violent coup in Montenegro.
The pictures, according to the publication, depict two GRU officers, Eduard Shishmakov and Vladimir Popov:
As the publications notes, both of them will appear in court next month with the 13 other defendants in the attempt on the chairman of the Government of Montenegro Milia Dzhukanovich.
The other photograph depicts Shishmakov with the nationalistAlexander Shindlach , who heads the Prochrevsky organization Serbian wolves and who fought in the Donbass:
It is noted that the photographs were taken in the park in Belgrade during an unsuccessful attempt by the coup and are a key part of the evidence, which, according to prosecutors, associate these events with Russian “state bodies”.
Despite the fact that in the Kremlin all accusations of interfering with Montenegro politics deny, British and American officials believe that the conspiracy was supported by a high level from Russia and was one of the most striking examples of the Kremlin’s attempts to undermine European democracy, writes Telegraph.
