The last time we did not have civilian control over our security services, was during the war of the nineties and it resulted in an assassination of the Prime Minister. If our secret services are not under control we have no guarantee that this would not happen again, Naim Leo Beshiri, the director of the Institute for European Affairs told N1.
Answering the Institute's question of why and whom is Serbia's secret service wiretapping, Beshiri reiterated that the data from the secret service and the High Court, which is the only institution that can approve these special measures, show that monitoring and wiretapping are two different methods.
The Institute for European Affairs announced that Serbia's Security Information Agency (BIA) tapped 226 citizens of Serbia in 2018 and asked whether everything was done in accordance with the law since the number of people being monitored differs from year to year.
“We can have three explanations for of such a situation, he said. The first is the ultimate neglect of statistics in both institutions. The second is deliberately giving different information to create confusion. And the third is that the High Court showed the number of approved monitoring proposals, and the difference arises from the fact that one proposal may involve several people or telephone numbers that need to be wiretapped,” Beshiri concluded.
