Serbia granted citizenship to the pro-Russian oligarch Vadym Novynskyi via an accelerated procedure, “in the interest of the state.”
Novynskyi is a former MP from the Party of Regions and the chief sponsor of the Moscow church in Ukraine. He fled the country before the full-scale invasion and was declared wanted for treason.
According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, since 2022 Serbia has issued passports via the accelerated procedure to more than 300 Russians. Many of them are close to the Putin regime.
