U.S. security expert Ivana Stradner has called on the European Union to publish the names of Serbian government officials who, she claims, have cooperated with Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
In a post on X, Stradner alleged that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić plans to release a list of individuals who have “contributed” to what he describes as a “color revolution” in Serbia. She claimed that Vučić would have the backing of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) in the initiative.
“Brussels should publish the list of people in the Serbian government who have worked with the FSB,” Stradner wrote.
Her comments come amid continued debate over alleged cooperation between Serbian and Russian security institutions.
An earlier report by Serbian outlet Nova.rs examined several cases involving contacts between Russia’s FSB and Serbia’s Security Intelligence Agency (BIA), including communications between senior officials and discussions surrounding protests in Serbia.
The report also recalled the January 2024 decoration of former BIA director Aleksandar Vulin by FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov during a visit to Moscow.
It further examined the involvement of Russian security services in an investigation into allegations that an acoustic device had been used during the March 15, 2025, protest in Belgrade.
Stradner also warned that Serbia could face renewed pressure from Russian President Vladimir Putin within weeks, particularly over energy supplies.
In that context, she proposed that Serbia’s incoming government nationalize the state-owned oil company NIS, which has been a central issue in the country’s energy relationship with Russia.
Stradner’s claims about Serbian officials’ alleged cooperation with the FSB and her assessment of possible Russian pressure were not independently substantiated in the material cited.
