Political expert Cvijetin Milivojevic said on Apr. 22 that the Serbian Progressive Party's and Aleksandar Vucic's ratings would be exceptionally low if the Serbian Broadcasting Company and TV stations with nationwide coverage would cover almost daily scandals involving government representatives professionally and without bias.
Milivojevic told BETA that not not in any democratic country or country in which the rule of law was supreme could anyone "survive" reasonable suspicions of senior officials being involved in crime groups, pedophilia, drug dealing and flagrant violations of the law and Constitution.
"Any serious polling agency avoids polls in impossible conditions, hence the results of certain surveys that show that the government has 60 percent support are irrelevant. We have a situation in which the majority of citizens are absolutely uninformed. Citizens are informed only on the basis of Aleksandar Vucic's messages from all-day appearances on TV stations," Milivojevic said.
He also said that anyone who claimed differently than Vucic, was publicly portrayed as lying. Still, he said, there is no doubt that criminal affairs in which state officials were implicated in, had lowered the Serbian Progressive Party's and Vucic's popularity.
