[ad_1]

Last night, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić did not take advantage of last night’s tour of the Kovid hospital works in Batajnica just to talk about the US elections and warn citizens that the situation with the coronavirus epidemic is serious. In addition to many topics, Vučić also touched on the social media posts in which he is mentioned, and again dealt with dissidents through cameras, but also with certain outlets whom he accused of working for interest groups that could harm him. .

H1 interlocutors agree: this is a continuation of the goal of professional journalists.

The places and occasions are different, but the principle is the same: the President of Serbia does not miss the opportunity to speak his mind about all current events in society, even when he visits the hospital construction sites that should help in the fight against COVID-19.

When asked to comment on the fact that Segej Trifunovic shared a comment on his Instagram about social media users, stating that it was better for the late Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Litoral, Amfilohije, to speak at his funeral, the president responded with the usual rhetorical discussion with the interlocutors who were not present.

I told you that a long time ago. The best solution instead of losing hundreds of millions of euros, which they invested in N1, Nova S, News Max Adria, paid Danas, paid for five radio stations they bought, from ‘Karolina’, to ‘Hit’. radio, ‘TDI’ and I don’t know what, what Djilas and the others bought, from all the weekly magazines they have, I don’t know what all of them, hundreds of millions of euros … It’s easier for people to kill me! You only have one problem, let’s not lie “Come on, do it one more time, don’t threaten again, don’t hide behind social networks anymore. Do it one more time, you won’t have any other way to convince me that you’re right. You won’t be able to either. Hurry up, “Vucic said.

It’s a shame, this is how NewsMax Adria editor Slobodan Georgiev describes Vučić’s statement last night, adding that it is not up to the president, because he has outlawed all media that are not in his favor.

“You must not make such statements, whatever your campaign, whatever your desire to present yourself as a victim in public … He is the most powerful man in Serbia and you should be careful what you say,” says Georgiev.

The president perceives the media as the opposition that wants to replace him, and that is wrong thinking, believes the editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Danas”, Dragoljub Petrović.

He says it is an insult to the aforementioned media, who are aware that the president was with those who said that someone should be removed in some way.

The president was the one who was Seselj’s closest collaborator when he announced Djindjic’s assassination, so he was Tomo Nikolic’s closest collaborator when he said in ‘Impression of the Week’ that he did not regret that Curuvija was assassinated, not to mention that the President was the Minister of Information. in the country where Slavko Ćuruvija was assassinated, so the president obviously wants to project what he did during his political career, asked or tacitly supported the assassination of someone “, estimates Dragoljub Petrović.

He also says that the media the president mentions is often constantly attacked, as he puts it, by “strange people” who think that “Danas”, “H1” and others are working against the state.

His colleague Slobodan Georgiev explains: when the president puts someone in the context of a group that wants to expel him, he classifies him as a criminal group. “It is an ongoing campaign of yours, and indeed what should I do?

“He should calm down a bit and start behaving really like the president of the state, if he can, if not, maybe find another job,” Georgiev believes.

Petrovic claims that this is another unfounded “targeting” of the media and part of the tactic of searching for the enemy in public, for which the media that are doing their job are best suited.

He concludes: it’s a scandal, while NewsMax director Adria Slobodan Georgiev asks the question: what to expect after this?
