Montenegrin media reports indicate that French security services issued a warning to Montenegrin authorities regarding a charter flight originating from Belgrade. The flight was reportedly carrying individuals associated with criminal elements and the Serbian Progressive Party. The initial information concerning the suspicious charter flight was reportedly received by the French company VINCI, which manages the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade.
Through its liaison officer, VINCI notified the French intelligence unit, the Directorate General for External Security (DGSE). The DGSE subsequently alerted Montenegrin authorities, according to reports cited by the Montenegrin portal Antena M. This alert was reportedly issued as the Tivat airport was preparing for the European Union and Western Balkans summit, an event expected to be attended by French President Emmanuel Macron.
While French authorities have not officially commented on the matter, the involvement of the DGSE—France’s external intelligence agency—suggests a high level of security concern. The DGSE is tasked with collecting foreign intelligence, combating terrorism, and protecting French national interests globally. Given the presence of high-profile international figures like President Macron, security preparations are heightened.
The heightened security focus has paralleled recent actions in Montenegro, where local police and the National Security Agency have reportedly increased controls at Tivat Airport. These measures included detailed checks on passengers arriving from Belgrade, resulting in several Serbian citizens deemed a security risk being denied entry. Although official confirmation regarding the DGSE’s direct involvement in the recent checks remains absent, the sequence of events suggests international security cooperation was activated due to the sensitivity of the summit.
