So, Putin’s paramilitary “biker gang” the Night Wolves is not only organizing film screenings in #Bosnia’s RS, which are attended by high ranking figures in #Dodik’s govt, but there’s now also a local chapter of said gang. Ominous development for BiH. ba.n1info.com/a268931/Vijest…
Recall, this organized crime syndicate just “toured” the region like a boy band, only weeks after news broke that Russia was training & equipping a still different far-right group based out of Serbia, one that was also assisting the Dodik regime. rferl.org/a/night-wolves…
This was @julianborger’s report from January on that group, “Serb(ian) Honor”. So, we now have at least two distinct Russian-backed paramilitaries cooperating w the Dodik regime ahead of #Bosnia’s Oct elxns. Extremely alarming. theguardian.com/world/2018/jan…
I wrote this in September last yr. I warned explicitly that Russia was gearing up to actively destabilize #Bosnia ahead of Oct, in the wake of major regional setbacks in Montenegro & Macedonia. Each passing month makes their intentions more clear. foreignaffairs.com/articles/bosni…
