Beautiful Russia women, dangerous spies in Kosovo

 Jana Minochkina

 The secret services have many women in their ranks. In addition to work for national interest, they need to be resourceful and wise. However, the Russians also have a criterion: their secret agents must be beautiful as well. In Kosovo has been several cases when Russian woman act for espionage purposes.

Several weeks ago it was widely reported in the media that an official of United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UMNIK) called Jana Minochkina was caught stealing from a shop in downtown Pristina.

However, security institution data said it is likely to be a Russian secret services agent. Whereas, the last case is that of Julia Genadievna Luchevnikovas, whose case was reported by the citizens themselves that she was seen photographing objects of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.

In both cases, the actions of Russians, such as Jana Minochkinas and Julia Luchevnikovas, are based on suspicion of espionage.

The source of Radio Television of Kosovo (security expert) who wanted to remain anonymous, says that the activity of intelligence services of the Russian Federation in Kosovo has been intensified last year.

"Taking into account that after Russia's failure to prevent Montenegro's NATO membership, then after failing to block the agreement between Greece and North Macedonia on the name issue, only Kosovo and Serbia remained the only suitable field for Russian agents. It is true that in Kosovo there are some cases that have been reported as espionage and this is dangerous. The case of these women is worrying. These two have been evidenced, but we have to consider how many others have not been identified," said the source.

According to data, the Russian citizen Julia Luchevnikova has been detained by Kosovo Police in Pristina, but has refused to respond to the authorities. Even according to these data, Julia Luchevnikova had no luggage with her, except some documents that according to security experts serve to disguise her activity.

"It's strange of how a case like this comes from Russia without any clothes with her, without luggage - without suitcases. She had only the documents that allegedly work in Russia's Post, but some other documents have also been found during car control, which also served to prove that it is allegedly working in a Moscow Court. This is called disguise of espionage or intelligence. Yet, one more proof of this is the fact that she has photographed objects of special importance," said Radio Television of Kosovo source.

Luchevnikova had him her a large number of bank cards. She had a fine of 250 euros for her offense, but since she had no money with her, she was asked to get them out of the ATM. However, she did not accepted to put her card in the ATMs of Kosovo, afraid of being discovered about the eventual transactions she may have had through these bank accounts.

Russian spies are characterized by their beauty, so they can be accepted more easily in the infiltrated society.

The case of Jana Minochkinė, which has a wide network of Albanian collaborators in Kosovo and Albania, is the best illustration for this. Jana Minochkina is married to a citizen of the Republic of Albania L.B. and still operates in Kosovo.

"Usually the secret agents have special skills to get involved in society. Depending on their task, some want to only get data, such as Julia who has photographed objects of special importance, and some have the task of stretching the influence by becoming important, helping the community, but in the essence their objective is the espionage. But their outward appearance, dignity and beauty are just the bait to come to information faster," RTK sources said.

Russians and Serbs are the best collaborators in the field of secret services. In mid-last month, a military intelligence officer, known as ADIV, was accused of working for Russians. According to reliable information the Belgian is cought while providing classified information to a Serbian citizen who was working for Russian services. The Belgian Clement Vandeborre was the chief of the counter-espionage at the Belgian ministry.
