The authorities conducted a large-scale operation targeting individuals involved in plans to incite mass unrest and undermine elections, with links to Russian intelligence and criminal groups. The investigation found that Moldovan nationals had received combat training in Serbia from Russian operatives and were recruited via Telegram to form groups tasked with creating incidents during the electoral period. Authorities carried out 250 searches and detained 74 suspects, seizing illegal weapons and ammunition, including pneumatic guns, hunting rifles, cartridges of various calibers, including combat ammunition, cash, electronic devices, and equipment for mass gatherings.
