Even after dozens of reports about bombs that arrived by e-mail, the authorities in Serbia do not announce the details of who is responsible.
In the meantime, IT experts warn of numerous failures in cyber culture in Serbia, as well as the limited capacities of the state in the fight against this type of crime.
Ana Toskić Cvetinović, executive director of the Belgrade-based organization Partners for Democratic Changes, told Radio Free Europe that it is very difficult to find the identity of the person who sends these messages.
"And now I am not sure to what extent our system is able to prevent and stop such attempts, and on the other hand to process and find the identity of the senders," she stated.
Six more false bomb threats in Belgrade have been received electronically in a series of threats since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began at the end of February.
On May 11, three shopping centers, two student dormitories and the Zoo were targeted by threats. As in all previous cases, the police determined that these reports were also false through a counter diversionary examination.
Threats about allegedly planted bombs arrive by e-mail from abroad from an encrypted service that, unlike other services, does not store data.
In April, after one of the false reports about bombs in shopping centers, the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that they had arrived from the email address of the Protonmail service, which is based in Switzerland.
However, this service is used by citizens on a global level.
"Threats were sent from it on several occasions in the previous period to Nikola Tesla Airport and the Air Serbia company, and according to operational information, they were sent from the territory of a European country and Ukraine," the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia stated on April 18.
On April 17, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić told TV Pink that foreign services from the territory of two countries participate in false reports of bombs on planes bound for Moscow, and according to him, one is a country of the European Union, and the other is Ukraine.
Vučić did not provide more details about these allegations.
Those allegations by Vučić were denied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine claiming that they were "groundless and inaccurate accusations".
