As has been said, “Cosic has launched in recent days a whole media complex against the UNS, which is controlled by the owners of the United Group in Serbia and which, in addition to H1, also includes Nova S television and the Nova portal. rs “.
“The political propaganda of H1, which instead of arguments is based on events of thirty or more years ago, and the personal disqualifications of the president of the UNS and the president of the Court of the UNS, which had nothing to do with those events old, can not hide the essence of the confusion that H1 made a mistake from its director, “said UNS.
The statement said that UNS “resented Cosic for finding H1 in violation of basic journalistic rules and for informing the professional public, in a professionally impeccable text by Jovana Pesic on the UNS website” and that “revenge against UNS only began when the text was broadcast by the media and Cosic’s political rivals. “

“That day, H1 hid the basic information: that the accused media did not prove anything in court, nor did they try to prove it, since the accused media did not even approach the court. This means that no one represented the accused media in court, that their arguments were not heard there, that their lawyers did not even present evidence of the complaints published by the accused media, ”the statement said.
The statement said that “the H1 newsroom had the opportunity to correct its initial omission and respond to questions from the professional public.”
Instead, Cosic settled on the language of the war campaign, ‘munitions’ and politicking over the distant 1990s. “Why, when everything could easily be solved with a professional conversation about journalistic standards?” UNS said.
