Agent's arrest exposes Russian network in Bosnia DW 02/24/2025
Briefly

Bosnian Defense Minister Zukan Helez faced criticism for claiming that Russian training camps existed in Republika Srpska. The recent arrest of Russian intelligence officer Alexander Bezrukovni in Bosnia, suspected of sabotage and terrorism, supports Helez's original assertion. Bezrukovni reportedly trained pro-Russia Moldovans in violent tactics against their government, which aligns with actions to undermine Moldova's EU membership aspirations. Following his extradition to Poland, he faces accusations related to coordinating attacks against Western allies. This incident has drawn attention to the ongoing influence and activities of Russian operatives in the Balkans.
"A Russian hiding in Bosnia-Herzegovina, suspected of coordinating acts of sabotage against Poland, the US and other allies, was extradited to Poland and arrested by court order."
"Bezrukovni's arrest and extradition confirmed my assertion that Moldova had known about Russian training camps in Bosnia."
