“Wagner”, Russian military group at risk for Kosovo

Among those who protested in the vicinity of Jarinje on Sunday are those who belong to criminal groups.

Among them, they are suspected of being members of “Wagner”, a Russian military group operating as mercenaries.

Security expert Fadil Caitazi tells of the risk this group can bring.

The “consists of former Russian secret services agents who have an experience in these activities and who could potentially cause problems through their agent coordinates, but also terrorist”, the security expert Fadil Cateazi noted.

And this group is estimated to have already entered Kosovo.

Their “Baridation, the movement of those individuals who are not part of the community in that part, is proving that there are elements that are constituent parts of Wagner, there are elements that are part of Serbia's state security structures, but there are also elements of organised crime that are acting under orders and under the command of these paramilitary and state groups of Serbia”, Drizan Shala declared security expert.

Because of the degree of risk, KFOR added forces to Jarinje.

According to expertKatazi, Serbia is using several ways to destabilise the situation in Kosovo.

We've told special warfare before, we're now telling hybrid warfare, where behind a strategy called causing and managing crisis. Under this strategy are a host of tactics, where the main one is to be played between what is legal and illegal”, said Fadil Caitazi security expert.

Since December sixth, when the offices of the Municipal Election Commissions were attacked in northern Kosovo municipalities, in some cases it has been reported shooting between criminal groups and Kosovo Police, as well as for explosive attacks.
