Portrait of a contemporary: Boža Spasić

The suffering of the “talking weasel”

The hero of this text was an intelligence officer of the former State Security Service of former Yugoslavia. He was allegedly hired by the UDBA to organize criminals to attack and kill problematic emigrants around the world. Serbian authorities arrested him twice, but he was never convicted. The foreigners never arrested him, but they did convict him - albeit in the first instance. For decades now, Spasić has been a frequent guest of the media where, as if on assignment, he criticizes the past and praises the current government. He worked as a detective, journalist and published two books. Precisely because of what he writes and says, Spasić caused more trouble for himself than any domestic or foreign enemy.

The term "kidnapped state" is not an empty phrase, it has a real meaning and it doesn't always happen to someone else there
