The Prosecutor General's Office has deemed the RDO operating in Serbia as "undesirable."

Генеральная прокуратура объявила РДО в Сербии "нежелательной" организацией.

According to the statement, the goal of the organization, established in 2022, is to "develop a mass protest movement against Russia within the republic." "Its participants oppose the conduct of the special military operation and spread false information online about alleged instances of the forced relocation of Ukrainian children," the statement says. The General Prosecutor's Office also claims that the society collaborates with other "undesirable organizations" and "foreign agents," such as the Anti-War Committee, "OVD-Info," and "Memorial."

The department's statement indicates that the Russian Democratic Society was founded in 2022 by a "subject of the Kingdom of the Netherlands" and a "wanted Russian emigrant," a former municipal deputy from St. Petersburg. Their names are not specified. It is known that among the founders of the society is Vladimir Volokhonsky, a municipal deputy from St. Petersburg who left Russia in 2022, as well as Russian citizen Pyotr Nikitin, who has been living in Serbia since 2016.

The RDO has been operating in Serbia since 2022 and is an officially registered organization in the country. It conducts anti-war actions and assists Russian emigrants and Ukrainian refugees. "The RDO is an anti-war society. We condemn the use of armed force to resolve international and internal disputes and the aggressive war of conquest against Ukraine," - states on the organization’s website.
