Maja Sever (BETAPHOTO/MILAN OBRADOVIC)
President of the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) Maja Sever has told N1 that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic "is realizing his plan to subjugate the last media outlet that manages to report freely" and that it is "something many in the European Union, beyond Serbia, should be worried about."
Sever commented for N1 the alarming state of media freedoms in Serbia due to Vucic's plan to subjugate, through United Group which is registered in the Netherlands, the media that are part of United Group's company United Media, including N1.
That plan has been documented by a recording of a conversation between United Group CEO Stan Miller and state-owned telecom operator Telekom Srbija CEO Vladimir Lucic. The recording reveals that Vucic wants to change United Media's organizational structure and wants the company director to be dismissed. Sever said that the moment Vucic achieved that, "and we see from what has been publicized that he is well on the way," Serbia would be in almost complete media darkness.
