Zvinchuk and other Russians detained in Montenegro have not yet been contacted

The author of the “Rybar” project, Mikhail Zvinchuk, his wife and colleagues, detained in Montenegro, have not yet contacted their loved ones, a source familiar with the Russian’s family told RIA Novosti.

The creator of the Telegram channel “Rybar” Zvinchuk, his wife Valeria and three of their colleagues were detained in the city of Risan in Montenegro. Later, the country's authorities decided to expel them, without specifying where the Russians were being expelled.

“No, silence,” said the agency’s interlocutor, answering the question whether the Russians had made contact.

The Russian Embassy in Montenegro previously told RIA Novosti that it demanded that the Montenegrin side explain the reasons for the detention of Zvinchuk and other Russian citizens, as well as provide consular access to them.
