The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, has been presenting himself in the media for a long time. The last time he came out and gave the news that the 2-year-old girl in Serbia was killed and that two people have accepted the guilt for committing that crime.
The last interview of the Serbian president was broadcast on many television channels, mainly in the countries where the creation of a Serbian world is mentioned.
The interview of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on “Informer TV” was broadcast on 80 local and cable television stations in Serbia, Republika Srpska and Montenegro, which violated Article 6 of the Law on Public Information and Media, said Rade Veljanovski, professor retired at the Faculty of Political Sciences.
Veljanovski explained to “N1” that Article 6 of the Law on Public Information guarantees political pluralism in the media and prohibits monopoly.
“And this is that in most media a political opinion, an ideology dominates, regardless of whether it is an owner or several media”, said Veljanovski.
He has shown that this is the competence of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) and that he had to react.
Namely, Vucic’s three-hour visit was broadcast live by 27 television channels, which were then extended to many local television stations.
At 21:00, the choice of viewers narrowed, because they could see the same picture on television: “Studio B, TV INFO 24, TV Zona Plus, NTV Nish, TV Va Plus, Novi Sad TV, SAT TV, TV SUPER STAR. , TV Jefimija, TV As Shabac, as well as in 17 other countries”.
According to a New York Times investigation, Vucic is connected to crime and controls everything in Serbia.
According to the NYT, an important tool of power for Vucic is the media. He has used the state-owned telecommunications company to buy local TV stations, and his allies run a trio of media organizations that unabashedly toe the Progressive Party line and give plenty of air time to Vucic himself. These include a television network called Pink.
The article of the American newspaper begins with the description of the press conference that Vučić held in 2021, where he disclosed the arrest of a crime gang in Serbia, and that in fact it turned out that this gang was connected to President Vučić and his son Danilo Vucic and it was organized precisely for the needs and by order of the Serbian president.
It is about the leader of the gang who was a cocaine trafficker named Veljko Belivuk, already a well-known figure in Belgrade. He had previously been charged with murder and a number of other serious crimes, but never spent much time in prison.
After the gang leader’s arrest, Belivuk described some of the behind-the-scenes work the gang claimed to have done for the government, such as intimidating political rivals and stopping fans from chanting against Vucic at soccer matches — a valuable service in a country where the stadium can make or break a president.
