Serbia Arrests 11 Over Attacks on Mosques and Jewish Sites in France
………….

Serbia’s Interior Ministry announced on Monday the arrest of 11 Serbian nationals accused of involvement in hate-related attacks on religious sites in France between April and September 2025.

Authorities said the suspects placed pig heads outside several mosques, vandalized synagogues and a Jewish restaurant in Paris, and splashed green paint on the Holocaust Museum. They were also linked to a stunt involving concrete skeletons at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate.

According to the ministry, the group had received training in Serbia, allegedly under the guidance of a foreign intelligence operative who remains at large.

French police had earlier reported that the perpetrators left the country immediately after carrying out the incidents. Serbian officials said the arrests are part of wider efforts to counter threats to public safety and religious communities in Europe.
