- summary
- Informer published a coordinated attack on prosecutor Boris Majlat, who declined to prosecute protesters over online threats and refused to investigate civil society actors in the 'sonic weapon' case, framing his appointment to the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office as a reward for 'working to destroy the state from within institutions.' The article appears alongside multiple synchronized pieces from senior officials (Mrdić, Vučević, Starović) and analysts amplifying the prosecution's reframing of the March 2025 sonic weapon incident as a premeditated civil society plot to destabilize Serbia and incite civil war.

- institutional consequence
- Prosecutor publicly delegitimized on record as a state-destabilization actor; prosecutorial reframing of protest accountability into a 'violent overthrow of constitutional order' investigation against civil society and student structures; targeting of independent prosecutors who declined to prosecute protesters.
- notes
- This fits the established Serbian doctrine of converting state-suppression incidents into evidence of a foreign-backed or civil-society-led conspiracy, now matured from narrative deflection into prosecutorial action. The novel element is the targeting of a prosecutor himself — framing institutional non-cooperation (declining to prosecute protesters, refusing to investigate civil society) as proof of an internal 'rogue' network working against the state. | Tactic note (TC-06): with accountability suppression / inverted burden of proof
- trigger type
- The prosecution's announcement that documents seized from the Faculty of Philosophy allegedly reveal the sonic weapon incident was pre-planned by civil society/students, combined with Majlat's appointment to the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office one day prior — both reactivating the long-running accountability dispute over the March 15, 2025 sonic weapon attack on protesters.
