Aleksandar Vulin is a logical choice as new head of Serbia’s intelligence service; he has a knack for covert operations, is devoted to Vucic and Russia, and doesn’t care what people think of him.
The appointment of Aleksandar Vulin as the new head of the Security Information Agency, BIA, is a logical choice by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic.
Vucic could not have wished for a better solution for the director of the secret police. Vulin has a knack for covert operations, he likes to do them and nothing is difficult for him.
He will do everything for the boss, believing that he is doing it for Serbia. He hardly notices the difference between the two. His advantage is that he has no reservations about entrusted tasks and doesn’t pay much attention to failures or to the contempt he suffers from part of the public. Vulin goes on as if the future of the nation, the “leader” and the state all depend on his role.
He was not uncomfortable with the fact that, as Minister of Police, in May 2021, Serbian policemen wiretapped and recorded Russian opposition members during a meeting in Belgrade. One of them, Andrey Pivovarov, was later arrested on his return to Russia.
