      Why was the security person arrested? Unless there is evidence that he collaborated with the suspect but was tricked, would that not be an unreasonable use of force by the prosecutor/authorities? Normally you would get suspended from job or fired for that, not arrested. Doesn’t the person who trained the security and set the security precedures and stardards carry the same responsability too?

      An international company but the franchise in Serbia is owned by someone close to the ruling party. That's how they got the job to manage BEG's security 2 years ago. I'm sure it's a multi million deal. With all due respect, most of the Securitas workers at BEG look like they are from a support class.

      Well you are wrong. It was Jat Tehnika security.

      You can't access Jat Tehnika before first passing through airport security.

      Yes you can. You obviously don't much about the airport complex.

    there were several similar incidents on german airports too in the last two years. From climate activists glueing themselves on the taxiway over some turkish father who wanted to force entry into a plane on the runway to fly with his child and finally some guy who followed Šolc convoy until the VIP section of fraport to hug him: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/olaf-scholz-ap-berlin-bild-frankfurt-airport-b2346293.html

      Why do some people think that it is a good defence argument to find equally bad stuff that happened somewhere else before??

    Just waiting for an influencer associated with a ruling party to post a video of himself driving on the runway with a clickbait title.

    Following the incident at the automated passport control, they are now watching this area from the stairs that lead to passport control from the check-in desks. However, most of their time is spent denying guests and passengers the right to congregate in the area as they “obstruct the view” even though this is a completely unrestricted part of the facility and there is no signage whatsoever to claim otherwise. Now they are keeping “attention wet floor” sign in the area so they can have an argument to request people to move. All the while we have a guy driving a car up and down the runway. Clowns.

    DCV published a statement where they mention entry was guarded by JAT Tehnika security personel. That could mean it's not Belgrade Airport security staff responsibility. Do we know citizenship of the suspect?

    Perhaps someone actually supervising the self-serve e-gates could have stopped the crawling lady which made us a mockery around the world. However, it does not explain how no one asked her for her boarding pass until she was seated on the plane to Malta.

      She was not seated on the plane, she got arrested on the gate.
