Suspects arrested on Hungarian border accused of being 'Russian agents' involved in sabotage plot

German media outlet Bild identified the suspects as "one-off Russian agents" allegedly apprehended by Serbian special forces based on intelligence from partner agencies.

Serbian security authorities have not commented on the case for over a month, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not responded to N1's inquiries. However, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser confirmed in mid-June that an explosion in Germany had been prevented, though she declined to provide further details due to the ongoing investigation.

The Higher Court in Subotica confirmed the initials of the arrested individuals as B.D. and Đ.S. Their detention was initially set on June 12 and extended on July 9, lasting until August 10. Both the court and the prosecutor's office have refrained from providing further details, leaving unanswered questions about the suspects' nationalities and the specific findings of the investigation so far.
