  "description": "The state prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina is investigating Russian-led training camps located in the Serb-run Republika Srpska entity, where Russian instructors allegedly trained Moldovan citizens in subversion tactics aimed at destabilizing Moldova. Prosecutors have formally requested Moldovan authorities to provide further information about the camps and the involved individuals. Several Moldovan nationals are already on trial in Chisinau over suspected Russian-backed destabilization efforts targeting the country's pro-EU trajectory. Training reportedly included organizing protests, provoking police, drone assembly and calibration, and making Molotov cocktails. Locations named include Glamocani, near Banja Luka. Moldovan authorities have yet to respond to the prosecution's request. Police in Moldova arrested 74 suspects linked to the campaign in September 2025, and Serbian police arrested two Serbian citizens on suspicion of supporting the camps. Officials in Republika Srpska and the Russian embassy in Sarajevo deny the camps existed. Russian paramilitary Wagner members are reportedly connected to some instructors at the camp.",
