INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Serbian authorities bought a Russian expat associated with anti-Kremlin activist work to leave the nation by the end of this week over â $
risksâ $ he allegedly positions to nationwide security, regional media reported Wednesday. According to Serbian broadcaster N1, a CNN
affiliate, Russian person Anton Bobryshev has actually lived in the Balkans country for 8 years on a residency license and owns a house in
the city of Pancevo.However, Serbiaâ $ s Interior Ministry refused to extend Bobryshevâ $ s home authorization on Sep
16 and ordered him to leave the nation within 30 days
Authorities apparently stated his stay in Serbia might pose an â $ unacceptable riskâ $ to nationwide security.Bobryshev slammed the
choice as politically encouraged, stating that it was â $ much like other cases with Russians who do not support Vladimir Putin and
aggression versus Ukraine.â $ Petr Nikitin, a representative for the Russian Democratic Society, told N1 that Bobryshev participated in
anti-war protests in Serbia and organized a rally in support of the late opposition activist Alexei Navalny last June in Pancevo
Nikitin said he believes the rally in Pancevo triggered Serbian authorities to decline extending Bobryshevâ $ s residency permit.â $ I
personally believe this is the application of a secret agreement between the [Serbian intelligence company] BIA and Russiaâ $ s FSB, which
[Deputy Prime Minister] Aleksandar Vulin signed a couple of years ago to counter color revolutions, â $ Nikitin was estimated as
saying.Bobryshev, who works remotely for a Russian IT business, told N1 that he thought about Serbia his home, including: â $ I enjoy
Serbia extremely muchâ $ ¦ in the future who knows, today I wish to remain here.â $ The Russian said he filed an appeal against the
decision to not extend his residency license, and he can not be deported from the country up until the case is resolved. In February,
Serbian authorities denied long-term house to anti-war Russian nationwide Elena Koposova and her family, who had actually lived in Serbia
They were likewise purchased to leave the nation for security reasons.After an appeal, the Serbian Interior Ministryâ $ s choice regarding
Koposovaâ $ s residency status was overturned.
