EU Sanctions Evasion: Rybar Founder Transits Germany, Detained in Montenegro

Mikhail Zvinchuk, founder of the pro-war Telegram channel Rybar, was detained in Montenegro after flying from Memmingen, Germany, to Sarajevo on October 2, despite EU sanctions. His transit through an EU airport without a transit zone indicates he was on EU territory, raising questions about enforcement of sanctions. Montenegro plans to expel him, but the incident highlights gaps in EU sanctions implementation.
