For the third day, the pro-government Serbian media have not stopped with their "revelations" about the Bulgarian spy caught in Bosilegrad, and today the Bulgarian diplomats also intervened in the "spy affair", reported BGNES.
The publications claim that "Serbian services, which detained the former reserve officer for espionage in favor of Bulgaria, discovered that the tentacles of the network reached the Bulgarian consulate in Nis". "Vecherne Novosti" writes that the detained 61-year-old man was arrested after "a thorough investigation by the security services, who quietly followed his work until the full disclosure of his agent network, which reached the Bulgarian consulate in the city of Nis".
As proof of "the successes of the Serbian services, the publication refers to sources from Sofia and from the DANS headquarters, where after the arrest, a red alert level was raised due to the compromising of their infrastructure in Serbia."
At the moment, the Serbian authorities were also checking "which other Serbian citizens were included in the transmission of secret military information".
The detained L.G. has "possessed an enviable network with local politicians and military figures". Now it was to be ascertained whether they had been working consciously or unconsciously for him. L.G. "also possessed a serious financial resource" for his espionage activities.
L.G. had the task of collecting information on the numbers, personnel hierarchy, the armed forces and their location in southern Serbia and above all data on the Fourth Brigade and its headquarters in Vranje. Due to the proximity to Kosovo, "Serbian services did not rule out" that the Bulgarian agency transmitted this information to the Albanian services from Kosovo as well.
The "Bulgarian spy network" also had a special interest in the mood in the Western suburbs and in places inhabited by Albanians on the eve of the early parliamentary elections, according to the media close to the regime of Alexander Vucic. According to them, this was "only the tip of the iceberg and the size of the Bulgarian spy network" in Serbia was yet to become clear. /BGNES
