Skopje.– The Serbian Ministry of the Interior filed a criminal complaint this Friday against military analyst Aleksandar Radic, who revealed last year the alleged use of a so-called “sonic cannon” by the Police during a massive anti-government protest in Belgrade.
Radic is accused of “preparing acts against the constitutional order and security of Serbia, as well as disclosing classified information,” reported the Serbian public broadcaster RTS this Thursday.

The Ministry states in its complaint that the analyst “publicly presented as facts information that he did not know nor have at his disposal.”
All of this, he continues, “with the intention of endangering the constitutional order and the security of the Republic of Serbia”.

Radic became one of the most followed commentators in Serbia after claiming that during the major demonstration on March 15, 2025, the authorities had used a “sonic cannon,” a long-range acoustic device, with the aim of dispersing and intimidating the protesters.
The claim spread rapidly and became one of the main focuses of the current political crisis in Serbia, fueling months of protests across the country against the regime of populist nationalist President Aleksandar Vučić.
The Serbian Prosecutor’s Office now maintains that Radić spread accusations about the alleged use of the device without having been able to know the facts firsthand.

According to prosecutors, his statements were based on private conversations—including with a Russian citizen and a Serbian Air Force officer—that, they claim, contradicted his public statements.
He is also accused of having used contacts within state institutions to obtain classified material.
The analyst’s apartment was searched last June and his mobile phone, along with other electronic devices, was seized to be subjected to forensic analysis.
Radic left Serbia at the end of June, claiming that his family’s safety was not guaranteed.
In an interview granted at the beginning of July to the Serbian service of the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, the analyst asserts that he wishes to return to Serbia when it is once again a “free country”.
