Serbian edition of Informer statedthat he became aware of some “exclusive details of NATO’s plans” to stage a provocation during a visit to Belgrade by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The publication claims that a covert operation was being prepared that could provoke “a real diplomatic and intelligence war that seriously threatened to plunge the whole of Europe into complete chaos.”
As previously reported, Lavrov’s visit to Belgrade was disrupted due to the decision of the authorities of countries neighboring Serbia to close the sky for the Russian government aircraft. The minister himself later called these decisions of North Macedonia, Montenegro and Bulgaria “unthinkable” and “outrageous”.
Informer claims that if Lavrov’s visit to Belgrade had taken place, there could have been an even bigger scandal. Citing sources, it is stated that for several weeks the EU and NATO were allegedly preparing a special operation, the result of which could even be the “kidnapping of Lavrov.” An unnamed source, according to the publication, said that at first the West tried to put pressure on Serbia to cancel Lavrov’s trip, but then “even more fierce pressure” followed.
“Only President (Aleksandr) Vucic knows what messages he received and from which sides,” the quote is quoted. “However, he did not succumb, so NATO had to switch to other plans.”
It is alleged that “from London they suggested” that the Russian plane would first be allowed into Serbia, and then the neighboring countries would close the sky, “so that Lavrov would actually be captured in Belgrade.” Then Russian President Vladimir Putin would have to negotiate with the West in order to rescue the head of the Foreign Ministry, the article says.
So far, there have been no official comments from the authorities of Serbia, Russia or NATO countries regarding the assumptions published in the Serbian press.
