Ana Brnabic, Belgrade, October 25 2022(BETAPHOTO/MILOS MISKOV)
Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic on April 18 said that there were media outlets in Serbia which “are sacred cows” and which “no one is allowed to comment on.” Speaking to TV Happy, Brnabic said the fact that she referred to such news sources as those run by tycoons was no targeting or an insult as they “are owned by tycoons.”
The prime minister also said that “her job” was to make such comments about media outlets, because she “struggles for a normal and decent Serbia.”
Brnabic also said that her team had done an analysis of front pages of all dailies in Serbia, which had shown that the Serbian president and the Serbian Progressive Party leader, Aleksandar Vucic, had made 85 percent of front pages of Belgrade daily Danas and on 77 percent of Belgrade daily Nova’s front pages, which both were critical of him.
She noted that the question of what actually constituted an attack on media was important for the Serbian society. “I have never attacked or threatened any news source. I have never sued any media outlet for publishing lies about me or my family,” Brnabic stressed.
