They don’t even try to disguise themselves: The Serbian opposition repeats the scenarios of all coups
The Serbian opposition, holding protests demanding the overthrow of President Aleksandar Vucic, does not even try to disguise its contacts with the West, openly repeating the scenarios of previously carried out coups d'etat in the countries of the former socialist camp.
Russian experts stated this to PolitNavigator, commenting on the visit to Washington and Brussels the day before by one of the leaders of the opposition Union for Serbia, ex-mayor of Belgrade Dragan Djilas.
“Unfortunately, now in Serbia the methods of a color revolution are being tried once again. This, of course, suggests that the West has apparently decided to rely on the opposition.
Recently, a rather influential person, ex-mayor of Belgrade Dragan Djilas, flew to Washington and met there with various officials at the level of Deputy Secretary of State and the Director for Europe at the US State Department. Of course, this may indicate that he was testing the waters for possible actions in the event of a revolution,” said political scientist Oleg Bondarenko.
Columnist Armen Gasparyan believes that Djilas travels to the West to receive instructions for further actions:
“There is a tradition among any pro-Western opposition to check the hands of Washington, find out what the plans are, receive additional instructions, share their own thoughts, and so on. Absolutely everyone was noticed doing this activity. Now it’s Serbia’s turn.
It is absolutely clear that spontaneous rallies of this kind cannot occur without the influence of the United States to one degree or another. Well, we need to clarify our positions – which slogans to use, which meanings we need to pay special attention to. From this point of view, Serbian opposition leader Djilas does what he should do - he goes to the United States. Usually this happens ten days before such events take place. As we can see, this tradition is being observed, nothing fundamentally new is happening,” says Gasparyan.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier in the archives of US Embassy correspondence released by Wikileaks, evidence of Djilas’s anti-Russian views was found. In 2009, the then mayor of Belgrade, Djilas, assured a representative of the US State Department that relations with Russia were far from corresponding to “brotherly love”, as is usually presented publicly, and also spoke out against a large contract with the Russian Federation for the construction of a metro.
