Features: Did you know that the British spy James Bond, codenamed "007" in the movies, was based on a Yugoslav named Dusan Popov? And this super spy, hailed as a "genius spy" during World War II, first gained prominence in Belgrade. In the blink of an eye, decades after the smoke of World War II had cleared, Popov's homeland was once again engulfed in flames and ultimately became the most brutal war after World War II. Behind the battlefield's gunpowder and gunfire, a group of operatives from renowned intelligence agencies such as the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) were actively involved. Today, "Yugoslavia" has been replaced by "Serbia and Montenegro"; Milo?evi?, once known as the "Balkan Phoenix," has been reduced from president to a prisoner in The Hague's International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia; Belgrade remains unchanged, yet for foreign intelligence agencies, it has become even more magnetically attractive than in the past decade. Subvert, subvert—behind it all, behind everything, is a real hunt unfolding in the shadows.
