Stories we recently heard about in the Parliament – that the Democratic Front coalition paid half a million euro for advertising in Vijesti during the election campaign, that Željko Ivanović was negotiating with Željko Mitrović, whom he found odious, to sell him (read: Vučić) his media company for 13 million euro; that he took 1.7 million euro from the Serbian M-TEL – throw a completely new light on the editorial policy of this media. It’s clear now why this media is often called the ‘printed Svetigora’ although it used to be independent. We won’t discuss other sources of their ‘independence’ now, a spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Socialists, DPS, Mr Miloš Nikolić, has stated earlier today.
According to him, we could expect to see that Mr Ivanović would vigorously deny the accusations of his former marketing partner Mr Milan Knežević, that he’d deny that the sale of Vijesti to Serbia’s authorities was just a matter of price, that he would file a lawsuit against Mr Knežević, who presented him as a pillar or a Great Serbia and Amfilohije’s propaganda…
“Of course, it didn’t happen. Ivanović is silent about Knežević, while at the same time he announces that Zdravko Krivokapić is going to establish a party as if he’s his spokesperson. I guess he believes it’d be an adequate revenge on Knežević and Mandić because they violated the “law of silence” and revealed traces of the money from Serbia paid to Vijesti,” the DPS spokesperson has said.
Instead of giving the explanation and justification that all those Montenegrin sovereigntists who trusted Vijesti now expect, we can read only a bunch of articles, that is, views of various unimportant people from the political stage – Mr Nikolić noted.
