This revelation underscores the ongoing surveillance conducted by Serbian authorities, as previously highlighted in a December report discussing a broader campaign of state control over civil society. Despite Cellebrite's suspension of sales to Serbian customers following the initial report, the new evidence reveals the application of sophisticated spyware tactics to target critics, raising concern over civil rights and state repression in Serbia.
