Regina Laska criticized that Michail Swintschuk, despite his inclusion on the EU sanctions list in June 2023, apparently managed to travel from Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to Bosnian media, the founder of the Russian propaganda channel Rybar flew from Memmingen Airport to Sarajevo on October 2. The Bosnian portal Detector reported that he had been arrested a few days later in Montenegro and expelled for reasons of national security. During the arrest, the police seized high-resolution cameras, a drone, and several cell phones; it was unclear whether Swintschuk had these with him in Memmingen. Laska pointed out that, according to her account, Swintschuk is subject to an EU entry ban and is not allowed to enter or transit EU territory. Since a flight from Memmingen to Sarajevo leads over a Schengen external border, she asked how Swintschuk got to Germany, who issued him a visa, and whether his sanctioning had been recognized upon departure. According to Laska, there has been no confirmation of the trip by German authorities so far. She contrasted border controls at Memmingen Airport with those ordered by Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) at the Austrian border. There, small cars are searched for refugees, whereas Swintschuk, according to her account, departed from the airport. She also pointed out that the Bavarian border police, which conducts checks at the airport, was established in 2018 by Markus Söder. Laska expressed outrage over what Russian nationals are still allowed to do in Germany and ironically asked whether RT chief Margarita Simonjan could soon book a wellness vacation in Garmisch. #EUSanktionen #Russland #Einreiseverbot (translated)

Lukáš Valášek stated that in Montenegro, the police detained Michail Zvinchuk, the head of the Russian propaganda center Rybar, whose activities in the Czech Republic he uncovered three weeks ago. According to Valášek, Montenegrin authorities suspected Zvinchuk of attempting to disrupt the country's path towards the EU. Zvinchuk led a Telegram channel that, according to the author, was followed by 1.5 million people. Valášek wrote that together with Zvinchuk, his wife and three associates were detained after he ridiculed customs officers on social media over a document check, calling them fools. According to him, Zvinchuk was on the EU sanctions list for facilitating Russian massacres in Ukraine and was therefore not allowed to enter its territory. Valášek also noted that other crews connected with Rybar moved freely within the Schengen area, and that two of Zvinchuk's Russian associates, whom he said his team lured into a trap, were expelled from the Czech Republic but had been living in Germany long-term. https://t.co/aeLh26QoVr #Rusko #Propaganda #EU (translated)

Of course they support it, but only until you tell them it will cost £25 billion a year (719.8 billion crowns). Until you tell them it means joining Schengen. Until you tell them it will mean committing to join the euro again. When Farage was confronted with the results of the latest opinion polls, which showed that 59 percent of Britons support a return to the EU, he downplayed them. "Of course they support it, but only until you tell them it will cost £25 billion a year (719.8 billion crowns). Until you tell them it means joining Schengen. Until you tell them it will mean committing to join the euro again," Farage stated. #Brexit #EUnávrat #Británie (translated)
"It is obvious that we have problems with crossings through Sarajevo and Belgrade." SLOVENIAN Prime Minister Janez Janša at the summit of Mediterranean EU members (MED9) in Split warned that the number of illegal entries on the Balkan route is not decreasing. #migracije #Schengen #MED9 (translated)

Adam Gwiazda wrote that the police detained a 31-year-old citizen of Nepal in Kuczyn, in the Krobia municipality, who was driving an Opel at 101 km/h on provincial road No. 434, where the speed limit was 50 km/h. According to the author, the man did not have a driver's license, and his visa expired in April 2025. The governor denied him a permit for temporary residence, which — as Gwiazda reported — meant he had been staying in Poland illegally for a year and a half. The author added that the man received a fine of 1500 PLN for speeding, and the case of driving without a license was to go to court. The Border Guard was supposed to inform him about the necessity of leaving for another country in the Schengen area immediately. #Polska #Prawo #BezpieczeństwoDrogowe (translated)
