Shock in Belgrade: Serbian Intelligence Agents Raided Montenegrin Director’s Hotel Room!
This morning around 9 AM, agents from Serbia’s Security-Information Agency (BIA) caused a major stir at the Opera Hotel in Belgrade. The main figure? Montenegrin director and columnist Danilo Marunović, known for his sharp criticism of Montenegro’s government and its ties with Serbia and President Aleksandar Vučić.
BIA agents, without prior notice, stormed into his hotel room and took him in for an informational interview. Marunović was in Belgrade for the premiere of his play “Gospoda Glembajevi” at the National Theatre. His father, Slobodan Marunović, confirmed the incident, but no official reasons for the detention have been provided.
Who is Danilo Marunović and why is he targeted?
Marunović is not just a director but also a columnist for the Analitika portal, where he regularly writes critiques of Montenegro’s government and its relationship with Serbia. His columns often highlight the influence of Aleksandar Vučić in Montenegro, which apparently does not sit well with Belgrade’s authorities.
What’s behind the detention?
Officially, no information has been released about the reasons for the detention, but media speculate it is an attempt to pressure regime critics and intimidate independent voices. The Montenegrin National Theatre and Montenegro’s embassy in Belgrade have been informed about the incident, further escalating tensions between the two countries.
Reactions and consequences
This incident comes at a time when relations between Serbia and Montenegro are already fragile. Detaining an artist who criticizes the government can be seen as an attempt to suppress freedom of expression and exert political pressure. Is this just the beginning of a new wave of repression or an isolated case?
What’s next?
While official explanations are awaited, public opinion is divided. Some see this as proof that Aleksandar Vučić’s regime will stop at nothing to silence criticism, while others warn of the danger of further escalating regional tensions.
