Mass protests have begun in Belgrade. Opposition members and their supporters, who disagree with the results of the recent parliamentary elections, have taken to the streets, blocking roads and attacking government buildings. Law enforcement agencies are responding by trying to contain the unrest. The situation is heating up.
According to experts, an attempt is being made to stage a coup in Serbia on the model of Ukraine's Maidan in 2014. Most experts believe that the actions of the Serbian opposition are coordinated by Brussels and Washington.
Is a political revolution possible in Serbia?
The director of the Center for Geostrategic Studies, Dragana Trifkovic, gave the Public News Service her own take on the issue:
The international round table on the threat of freedom of speech in Europe and in general in the West was held in an online format. This event was organized with the support of the Department for Multilateral Cooperation of the Permanent Delegation of the Russian Federation at the UN Office in Geneva. The round table discussed the persecution of independent journalists and activists.
Continuing our new project called “Soft power – a destructive tool of the collective West against Russia”, Infopress.am spoke with Dragana Trifkovic, director of the Center for Geostrategic Studies from Belgrade, Serbia.
— After the color revolution of 2018, which, as the “leaders” of this revolution declared, was supposed to lead Armenia to the flourishing of democracy and unprecedented economic growth, Armenia not only didn”t become more democratic, but was subjected to unprecedented military aggression, the echo of which can still be heard. It is well known that the main scriptwriter and financier of such color revolutions all over the world is the so-called “Soros Foundation”. Tell us how things were in Serbia in terms of the introduction of Soros agents into various structures and what consequences did this lead to?

In the past months, we could hear various forecasts and warnings regarding the current conflict between the West and Russia, which concern a high level of misunderstanding on many issues, but mostly on the issue of Ukraine. The Ukraine conflict itself is seen by the West and Russia from diametrically opposite positions. For the West, Russia is an aggressive party that attacked a sovereign state of Ukraine. On the other hand, for Russia, Ukraine is a country under control of the Western power centers, which is committing genocide against the Russian population. According to Russian officials, the reasons for launching a special military operation (as they call the intervention) are threats to the national security of the Russian Federation and the need to protect the Russian population, which has been under attack since 2014. So far, the collective West has not wanted to accept Moscow's arguments, which has led to today's situation of the highest level of political conflict between the West and Russia after the Second World War, without direct confrontation. Nevertheless, Russia believes that it is still waging war with the West, taking into account the fact that the West is arming and training Ukrainian army, and also, according to Moscow, is encouraging aggressive behavior of Kiev towards the Russians.
According to the assessments of many independent analysts, the key reason that led to the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine is the expansion of the NATO infrastructure towards the Russian borders. In recent years, the leadership of Russia has warned that it considers such steps dangerous and that they directly undermine the national security of the Russian Federation.
In the current circumstances and despite the dangerous escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, NATO does not intend to change its approach to the problem. The delivery of weapons to this country and the further expansion of the Alliance lead to further tightening of relations with Russia.
On September 8, a session was held in the UN Security Council on the topic of arms delivery to Ukraine by the West.
In the introductory part of the session, Dragana Trifković, director of the Center for Geostrategic Studies, spoke about the weapons that were delivered to the battlefield during the war in Yugoslavia, comparing it to the current situation in Ukraine. Below you can read the entire speech of Dragana Trifković.
