H1 Television, which operates within the United Group, announced Monday that a court in Switzerland found that Pink, Studio B and Informer ran a media campaign announcing falsehoods about United Group co-owner Dragan Solak.
However, the accused media leaders claim to UNS that they were not informed that the trial was carried out against them.
In response to the UNS, the United Group legal team states that “the trial was conducted in accordance with Swiss law” and that “all legal procedures were followed and all parties to the dispute were informed through channels. diplomats on the procedure and their rights and possibilities in the controversy “. .
The United Group claims that one of the defendants also hired a lawyer and that “in no other way could a final verdict be reached.”
“The execution of the verdict will be carried out in accordance with the international agreements and obligations that Serbia has signed and assumed,” the company states.
According to the H1 television text, the accused media did not prove any of the claims they publish in court.
However, Studio B television director Ivana Vučićević and Informer’s owner and editor-in-chief Dragan J. Vučićević claim the opposite: that they did not attend the trial and were not officially notified of the verdict.
“I don’t know how it is possible for someone to try him without informing him that the trial is ongoing,” asked Dragan J. Vučićević, while N1 states that “it is especially forbidden to make statements that violate Šolak’s personal rights.”
Studio B director Ivana Vučićević told UNS that the media house also did not receive subpoenas for court hearings in Zurich, nor did she attend that process.
“Studio B will act in accordance with the positive regulations of Serbia and therefore in accordance with the obligations determined by the competent national courts,” Ivana Vučićević told UNS.
Zeljko Mitrovic, the owner of Pink TV, did not respond to UNS whether his house was involved in the proceeding.
The Zurich District Court, H1 television reported, delivered a verdict that “irrefutably established” that Dragan Sholak’s personality rights had been violated by the media, which he sued for “all the falsehoods they publish every day. “.
The imputed media are obliged to reimburse the expenses of the procedure to the prosecutor Sholak, withdraw the texts and links of the programs that violate his right to personality, refrain from repeating this part and publish the verdict.
The verdict in Zurich, as announced yesterday, became final on September 15.
The United Group co-owner also announced lawsuits against other outlets.
