It’s been revealed Switzerland sold mobile phone surveillance equipment to the pro-Russian government in Serbia.
Anti-government protests are growing in the county and the Prime Minister has resigned, but the president, Aleksander Vucic remains.
The people want more – they want the entire government to quit.
It’s suspected the Swiss supplied equipment has been used to spy on anti-government groups.
The decision to sell the equipment would have to have been given the go ahead by several government agencies.
A spokesman for the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs says at the time there was no sufficient evidence the equipment would be used for internal repression.
It’s unlikely the deal would be approved today.
