A Subotica Higher Court has ordered a one-month detention for two individuals, identified as B.D. and ฤ.S., arrested on the Serbian-Hungarian border. The court confirmed the detention order to Radio Free Europe on July 10, with the pre-trial detention set to last until August 10. The individuals have been in custody since June 12, and their detention was extended in July. Radio Free Europe and N1 have sought comment from the Subotica Higher Court and the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office, which is leading the investigation, but have not yet received a response. German newspaper Bild reported that the arrested individuals are "disposable" Russian agents who were allegedly planning to plant explosives in Germany and that explosives were found in their possession. A spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry stated that no further details could be provided while the investigation is ongoing.
