Tokyo, 6 June, /AJMEDIA/
In Serbia, reports of bombings have become almost commonplace. The Constantine the Great Airport and two shopping malls in Nis and Novi Sad were warned via the Internet yesterday about improvised explosive devices.
After receiving the reports, the police went to the field, and the four shopping centers were evacuated.
A false bomb alert was sent to the airport in Nis on May 16, while the Delta shopping center was falsely alerted on April 21.
The reports of a bomb planted in the shopping malls in Novi Sad, “Mercator” and “Promenada” were also false.
For the past two months, Serbia has been the target of false reports of bombings. Alerts often reach shopping malls, restaurants and schools, train stations, bridges and other locations. A bomb alert was also sent to the Belgrade Zoo.
On May 16, 97 Serbian primary and secondary schools received false reports of bombings.
Earlier, Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin said that “a special war is being waged against Serbia and that the aim of all attacks is for Serbia to stop pursuing an independent policy and to make decisions under pressure and fear.” While the Serbian Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime announced that the reports will be characterized as a terrorist act.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, false reports of bombings have been registered in Croatia, BiH and Kosovo.
