{"id":"SRB-062","notes":"PRIMARY SIGNAL preceding RT Balkan/Pavić amplification (SRB-059, April 2). Direct operational admission distinguishes this from rhetorical invocation of Russian authority in earlier cases. Connects to SRB-046 (Vulin-Patrushev 2021 joint working group) — the framework established in 2021 is now explicitly operational. Cross-ref SRB-040 (SVR report Sep 2025) — consistent Russian intelligence involvement across two years of protest suppression.

Analytically significant: foreign authority (Russia) is not just invoked rhetorically but operationally integrated into domestic protest suppression. Confirms cross-referencing between Russian intelligence and Serbian security apparatus documented in SRB-046 (Vulin-Patrushev 2021 joint working group).","tactics":[{"code":"TC-02","role":"primary","label":"Political Authorization by State Actors","needs_review":false},{"code":"TC-20","role":"secondary","label":"Security Apparatus Enforcement","needs_review":false}],"version":1,"channels":["Legacy Press","State/National TV"],"entities":[{"id":955,"name":"Aleksandar Vulin","role":"actor","entity_type":"Government Official"},{"id":956,"name":"Protest movement; CSOs linked to protests","role":"target","entity_type":"Sector"}],"date_text":"01/04/2026","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","escalation":3,"harm_track":"Both","narratives":[{"code":"NF-01","role":"primary","label":"Foreign Agent / Foreign Influence","needs_review":false},{"code":"NF-06","role":"secondary","label":"Destabilization Agent","needs_review":false}],"report_ids":[],"signal_ids":["SIG-SRB-062"],"updated_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","occurred_on":"2026-04-01","campaign_ids":["SRB-CAMP-003"],"enabler_type":"","response_ids":[],"trigger_type":"TR-05: Foreign Authority Signal","campaign_phase":"Phase 1: Authorization","civic_response":"Not documented.","date_precision":"day","enabler_status":"","campaigns_served":[],"consequence_category":"Social Trust Erosion; Legal/Administrative","institutional_consequence":"Russian intelligence operationally integrated into protest suppression; CSO-protest nexus framed as colour revolution"}
