Allegations of state security threats against Dejan Lučić and his son Vovu Lučić have emerged in Serbia, with psychotherapist Aleksandar Mitrović Metanoja claiming that the Serbian Security Information Agency (BIA) targeted the two men. In an interview published on August 28, 2026, Mitrović asserted that BIA detained and threatened Dejan Lučić, while Vovu Lučić was allegedly warned of a planned ‘traffic accident.’ These claims have not been independently verified.
Mitrović, speaking on the YouTube channel ‘Srbin.info – kanal Centar,’ also named several individuals—Veljko Odalović, Marko Kričak, Bojan Dimić, Nenad Bogosavljević, and General Jovanić—as part of a structure he says was prepared for a post-election confrontation with students and demonstrators. According to Mitrović, this group was established to respond with force to potential unrest following elections.
Claims of a Hierarchical Power Structure
Mitrović described the current Serbian political system as a ‘psychopathic pyramid of power,’ led by a figure at the top who is presented as infallible. He argued that advancement within this system is based not on independent thinking or competence, but on loyalty and obedience to the leader. As an example, he cited a recent vote in Užice, where ruling party councilors reportedly rejected an opposition proposal solely because it came from a rival, regardless of its potential benefit.
Drawing parallels to historical authoritarian models, Mitrović claimed that dissent is systematically suppressed, and institutions lose their ability to act in the public interest. He outlined mechanisms such as emotional manipulation of voters, the use of fear and conditional rewards, and media control to maintain power. According to his analysis, this results in a society where alternative opinions are stifled and legal or professional standards are subordinated to political loyalty.
Mitrović further argued that the initial idealization of the leader—portrayed as a strong protector of national interests, especially regarding Kosovo and Metohija—creates a lasting emotional bond with supporters, even when later actions contradict earlier promises. He linked this phenomenon to psychological concepts like the ‘halo effect’ and identification with authority figures.
All of Mitrović’s statements are presented as his personal analysis and claims, based on public behavior and rhetoric, not on clinical examination or official documentation. The allegations regarding BIA and the named officials have not been confirmed by independent sources.
