WP warned of the formation of Russian paramilitary formations in BiH

The Washington Post warned this week the seriousness of the formation, according to the paramilitary formations in Bosnia and Herzegovina coming from Russia, emphasizing that such information was confirmed by the BH. officials.

These activities compare the list in the analysis with individual cases in countries in which Russia has an interest, but with the emphasis on small groups in otherwise peaceful countries.

"It is a far more serious case in BiH where Russian trained mercenaries have allegedly set up a paramilitary group that should be at the service of a Serb separatist leader," the Washington Post article said.

They further noted the statement of the former BH. the Minister of Energy who told the Guardian that this was part of a major change in the international order, adding that the Russians decided to use their influence in the Balkans to "re-launch the conflict in BiH".

The Washington Post estimates that it would be possible to dismiss these cases as isolated and irrelevant that it is not known the fact that Russia has a history of using paramilitary formations with disinformation of the public, bribery and other tactics aimed at destabilizing neighboring countries.

They cited an example of the Crimean occupation in Ukraine when Russia sent soldiers there without official Russian uniforms, and there are also older examples such as the appearance of armed local groups that were previously trained in the Soviet Union and were part of what enabled the Sovietization of Central Europe yet since 1945.

"We might be laughing at this in 2015, but in 2016 it turned out that Russia was able to carry out the entire disinformation campaign, even in the United States," the Washington Post recalls.

But, as the world concludes, it is now acquainted with Russian disinformation campaigns aimed at violating democracy and sowing distrust in many Western countries.
