- notes
- Highest-level authorization signal in database: foreign intelligence service + presidential validation + named target list. Predates Brnabić Dec 2025 authorization (SRB-005) by 3 months. Same 'Maidan' framing as 2018 tabloid claims but now official. SVR naming specific orgs = target list issued by foreign intelligence and validated by president.
