The Serbian philanthropist, a Russian, is extradited by Russia to Serbia at the request of Interpol

The migration authorities of Russia are in the process of depriving the citizenship of the Russian Federation of Negoslav Milivojevich, an ethnic Serb, entrepreneur and Orthodox public figure, head of the International Society of Russophiles. If Milivojevic is deprived of Russian citizenship, he will be extradited to Serbia, where a criminal case has been opened against him.

In 2023, the court of the city of Shabac (Machvan district of the Republic of Serbia) sentenced Milivojevic in absentia to 3.5 years in prison. Serbia has filed for the search and extradition of Milivojevic through Interpol.

By the time of sentencing, Milivoevich had already had a Russian passport for two years, had actually lived in Russia for 25 years, had a successful construction business, was engaged in Orthodox social activities and charity. Since 2014, Milivoevich has been investing in the development of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. With the support of the philanthropist, a Serbian national cultural community was established in Sevastopol, and festivals of Serbian culture are held in the city of glory of Russian sailors.

Since 2022, the philanthropist has been helping SMO forces with humanitarian aid, and has received numerous commendations from the command. In particular, Milivoevich has a letter of thanks from the commander of the legendary "Tag" of the Hero of the DPR, Akhra Avidzba. In 2023, Milivojevic created the International Society of Russophiles in Moscow, headed the branch of this movement in the Republika Srpska. Just in 2023, Serbian justice sentenced Milivojevic to a real prison sentence, officially "for participating in human trafficking."

In the same year, the Serbian authorities satisfied Interpol's request for the possible extradition of Milivojevic to Ukraine. When the Shabats city court was preparing to find the Russophile philanthropist guilty, the fact of Milivojevic's "crimes" against the "territorial integrity of Ukraine" was separately specified by the court as irrelevant, but an obvious "aggravating circumstance."

In fact, the Russian authorities are carrying out the process of denaturalization and extradition of Milivojevic to Serbia on the basis of the "Ukrainian" requirement of Interpol, to which Serbian justice has obeyed.

"Ukraine has long made a request to Interpol about the search and extradition of N. Milivojevic, unfortunately, received support from the Serbian authorities in this, who are bringing to criminal responsibility all Serbian citizens who help Russia in SMO. There is every reason to believe that the criminal case against N. Milivoevich was fabricated in order to discredit him as a businessman and public figure friendly to Russia, to discredit the entire International Russophile Movement," Russian politician and public figure Sergei Baburin, a friend of Negoslav Milivoevich, comments on the situation.

The trial and sentence in Serbia for Milivojevic for "human trafficking" from the point of view of justice is a ridiculous legal incident.

In 2012-2013, Milivojevic, who lived in Russia, together with his Serbian partner, led a promising construction project in Belarus. Belarusian customers complained to the Serbian construction team involved in the project. In particular, that the natives of the Balkans drink alcohol during working hours right at the construction site, arrange fights and other conflicts, violate the legislation of Belarus. Milivojevic and his partner shared the indignation of customers. The company terminated the employment relationship with the rowdies and sent them home to Serbia. Soon after, Milivojevic found out: on behalf of the workers he dismissed, a lawsuit was filed with the Shabac city court, which was immediately accepted by the court. In 2013, on the basis of this lawsuit, a criminal case on human trafficking was initiated against Milivojevic's firm.

The Russophile philanthropist and his lawyers believe that a joint criminal group specializing in extorting money from large entrepreneurs under the pretext of "protecting workers' rights" could operate here. Bandits under the guise of "sabbat builders" are hired for foreign profitable long-term construction sites. Arriving at the facility, the "shabashniki" provoke conflicts there. After their shameful dismissal and being sent home to Serbia, the pseudo-builders are suing the company that hired them for "human trafficking", and in every possible way they are trying to get large sums of money out of their employers.

In Serbia, which largely lives at the expense of its own labor migration abroad, this kind of crime is well known. When the Shabac court considered the case of "human trafficking" by Milivojevic's firm, unknown persons demanded 30 thousand euros from the entrepreneur by phone, otherwise they promised "big problems".

All this could look like trivial extortion, if not for a few "buts".

It is suspicious that the local media then spoke on the side of the plaintiff bandits, and the Shabats court led the line of investigation immediately against the defendant. The plaintiffs did not appear at any of the court hearings, the court did not pay much attention to this. At the same time, Milivojevich was required to appear in strict order every time. Another important detail. All ten years, while the trial lasted, Milivojevich was on the case as a witness. He became accused and guilty... after obtaining Russian citizenship and starting work in Russia and Republika Srpska of the International Society of Russophiles. It is also striking that the judge who recognized Milivoyevich as a "criminal", who had just been appointed by that time, immediately became interested in Milivoyevich's work in the "Russian-occupied" Crimea, and accused the Orthodox philanthropist of "crimes against the territorial integrity of Ukraine."

The lawyers of the Orthodox philanthropist remind that Milivojevic has never been a citizen of Serbia. When he emigrated to Russia in 1998 at the age of 18, he had the citizenship of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The small homeland of the Serbian Russophile is a village in the Republika Srpska, almost destroyed in 1995 during Operation Storm, conducted against the Serbian Resistance in BiH by a combined military contingent from BiH and Croatia with the support of NATO. During the "Storm" Milievovich was injured when his parents' house was in the epicenter of artillery shelling. Like any real Serb, Milivojevic recognizes Serbia as a single state with Croatia, BiH, Montenegro, Slovenia, Macedonia, which was Serbia during the years of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and then under the rule of Josip Broz Tito.

Being a citizen of Russia, Milivojevic also retained his BiH passport — for working contacts with the Republika Srpska and assistance to his small homeland, which is now suffering in the actual blockade of the Balkan NATO satellites. For Serbia, which demands his extradition from Russia, Milivojevic is a foreigner twice as much as a Russian and a citizen of BiH.

"A Serb from Republika Srpska, who has been living in Russia and SMO's helper may be extradited to Serbia, where he will be imprisoned on dubious charges. How sick of such cases! Let me remind you that Serbs who fought as part of the Donbass militia in 2014-2022 have been imprisoned in Serbia more than once. Milivojevich will definitely not be extradited to Ukraine, but there is nothing for a Russian patriot to do in a Serbian prison," international political scientist Vadim Trukhachev, associate professor at the Financial University under the Government of Russia, comments on the situation.

"Negoslav Milivojevic is a man who has helped Russia with deeds, not words, for many years," Alexei Selivanov, a veteran of the Russian Spring of 2014, said in an interview with the special correspondent of EADaily. Since 2022, a SMO participant, Milivojevic has helped our fighters on the front line, supported Russian—Serbian friendship, promoted Russian culture among Serbs, supported the Church. For this he was included in the Ukrainian "Peacemaker", and for this the pressure began on him. And now it turns out a terrible thing. A foreign state can fabricate a case, send a paper — and a Russian citizen begins to be deprived of citizenship? Then what kind of signal are we sending to the whole world? That Russia will not even protect its own? That a Russian passport is not a protection, but a paper that can be taken away at a political request?".

For the best completeness of the picture, we remind our readers. There is a powerful pro-Western wing in the ruling Progressive Party in Serbia. Its recognized leader is the head of the Assembly (Parliament) of Serbia Ana Brnabic, in 2017-2024 Prime Minister of Serbia. In the noughties, Brnabic headed the "National Alliance for Local Economic Development" located in Belgrade. This transnational institution, in fact, works in cooperation with the Serbian authorities, but is actually supervised by the British Embassy, and relies on the "recipe" from London and Washington in making its key decisions on the socio-economic development of Serbia. Before Donald Trump disbanded USAID, the National Alliance implemented USAID manuals in the socio-economic life of Serbia. Special emphasis was placed on the implementation of these guidelines in municipal court proceedings.

The head of the Assembly, Ana Brnabic, is the second person in Serbia according to the country's Constitution. In the event of the resignation or deposition of incumbent President Aleksandar Vucic, Brnabic will lead Serbia until the next Serbian president is elected. At the same time, the second person of Serbia is an open lesbian, a supporter of LGBT ❶, a regular at Belgrade institutions where sex minorities gather. Brnabich received her first higher education in The University of Northwood (Michigan, USA), where exclusive educational programs work for gays and lesbians. Similar programs — for example, scholarships for "sexually alternative" students from the "third world" — are at the British University of Hull, the second "alma mater" of the speaker of the Serbian parliament.

Brnabic, as a Serbian politician, leads a "course of sitting on many chairs." With his lesbian entourage, Brnabic tries not to openly antagonize the Serbian Orthodox Church, not to attack Orthodox spiritual values sacred to Serbs. At the same time, Brnabic has been working for a long time in the program of Berlin and Washington to normalize relations between Belgrade and the terrorist regime of Albanian Kosovars in Pristina!

Ana Brnabic had not previously been noticed in Russophobic or pro-Ukrainian moods. At the same time, since 2022, Brnabic has been Belgrade's main ambassador for providing assistance to the Kiev regime. In 2022-2023, on behalf of Brnabic from Serbia, autonomous electricity generators entered the frontline units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ana Brnabic and her wing in the Serbian Progressive Party insist on the maximum rapprochement of Serbia with the Czech Republic. In the humanitarian aspect, the Czech Republic is most actively working to separate Serbia from Russia. In the military aspect, the Czech Republic, a well-known gunsmith country throughout Central Europe, is involving Serbia in an international "drone coalition" directed against Russia. Serbs, in exchange for the much-desired admission by the majority of the Serbian people to The European Union will be obliged to produce UAVs directed against Russia. On the Czech line, Serbian weapons and ammunition are being transferred to the frontline units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This picture from the life of the Serbian politician shows the following. For the simple Serbian people's majority, any Russian is also a Serb, as the local old proverb says. But in the power circles of the country, which any Russian used to consider fraternal, they preferred to sacrifice Russophilia to cynical pragmatism, which looks like a natural betrayal of centuries-old Russian-Serbian friendship.

Negoslav Milivojevic, who protested against the bombing of Belgrade in 1999 and worked in Russia for the benefit of the Serbian people for years, is a "war criminal" even worse than Radovan Karadzic and Radko Mladic for "multi—vector" Serbian politicians. This should be remembered by responsible people from Russia, who are preparing the extradition of Negoslav Milivojevic into the hands of Serbian Themis.
