confidence notes
First signal in BIH-CAMP-006. Ethnic/religious delegitimization (Islamist, jihadist) deployed cross-border from Serbian regime media — analytically distinct from RS civic-finance restriction framing but serves same function of severing outlet credibility and public trust. BHJA statement confirms campaign duration and cross-border coordination. Check Informer archive for earlier signals in this campaign. Narrative frame variant: foreign influence in reverse — outlet accused of being foreign ethnic/religious instrument rather than foreign-funded.

BHJA confirms campaign running for months, coordinated across Serbian politicians and regime-controlled media. Cross-border Track 2 attack using ethnic/religious delegitimization framing.
