Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced that he will present what he described as evidence of “terror and policies being carried out in Serbia” at a press conference scheduled for Wednesday at 1 p.m.
Speaking to TV Informer, Vučić said he had remained silent for three days to see whether people would “come to their senses” and whether institutions would begin doing their jobs and showing concern for the country.
He also commented on the sanction imposed by Serbia’s Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM) against TV Informer, expressing support for the broadcaster and criticising the regulator’s decision.
“You, people from Informer, have defended the honour of a free Serbia. I have seen very few others who dared to openly stand by your side,” Vučić said.
He described the REM proceedings as the introduction of “Gestapo methods” and argued that the television station should not be held responsible for statements made by other individuals, particularly when its representatives had publicly distanced themselves from those remarks.
Vučić also compared the treatment of TV Informer with that of N1 and Nova S, claiming that the two broadcasters had made significantly harsher statements about him.
He referred to various accusations and descriptions used against him in the media, as well as coverage of the Jovanjica case and allegations concerning the use of a sound cannon.
The REM sanction against TV Informer comes amid broader disputes over media regulation and political reporting in Serbia.
