00:00:20Good evening, you are watching N1 journal, I am Maja Žeželj, this
00:00:23is the news
00:00:25of Serbia. This was announced on of the day.
00:00:27New radar findings on wiretaps by the Security Information
00:00:31Agency, more individuals and institutions
00:00:34wiretapped.
00:00:37Physical surveillance, recording
00:00:40have been arrested for attacking conversations that took place in public
00:00:42places, bugging premises
00:00:45and cars, uh uh,
00:00:48so enormous resources have been
00:00:52invested here.
00:00:54The Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime ordered the SBPok to question the director
00:00:58of BIA Vladimir Orlić and the Minister of Justice
00:01:01in technical mandate Nenad
00:01:03speech is being shut down. How that Vujić, after a complaint by lawyer Ivan Ninić
00:01:06regarding voting in correctional
00:01:08facilities.
00:01:13And these are the other news and topics in
00:01:15the journal.
00:01:19Provincial Secretary for Social Policy,
00:01:23Demography, and Gender Equality Predrag
00:01:25Vuletić, also known for protests in front of N1,
00:01:30organized by his Movement
00:01:32of Socialists, has been arrested.
00:01:35OFAC granted permission to Mol and Mol Serbia to begin
00:01:39the takeover of NIS. The permit does not cover
00:01:42the completion of the transaction that would
00:01:45result in the termination of Russian ownership and control in
00:01:48the company NIS.
00:01:52Hungarian citizens can access secret police files from
00:01:55the communist era. Now they know who was followed and
00:01:59who was an informant.
00:02:03More sun in the coming days, slight temperature increase,
00:02:06mornings still cold
00:02:10fog.
00:02:15It is already known that all those who spoke loudly against
00:02:18the ousted regime are under scrutiny. And the data obtained
00:02:22by the weekly Radar, in black and white,
00:02:25show the massiveness of surveillance of Serbian citizens
00:02:29and the abuse of the secret service. Radar published
00:02:33the High Court's decisions on the termination of surveillance measures
00:02:36implemented at the order of the BIA director Vladimir
00:02:40Orlić.
00:02:43With Radar's new findings, it's clearer how massive
00:02:46the surveillance of Serbian citizens is, but also the extent of the secret
00:02:50service's abuse. Vladimir Orlić, director of BIA, requested
00:02:54surveillance measures from the High Court in Belgrade. It's about
00:02:58a demonstration of the work of a classic political
00:03:02police. Among those monitored were the chief of staff of the Rector of the University of
00:03:06Belgrade, the president of the Democratic Party, the president of the Independent
00:03:09Railway Workers' Union of Serbia, as well as a representative
00:03:12of the IT blockade. This, in principle, shows that
00:03:15Vladimir Orlić, at the head
00:03:18of BIA, acted as an extended arm of one
00:03:21man, who controls what we can
00:03:25see as more resembling an organized criminal group.
00:03:29Among the targets were the editorial board of Radar, editor-in-chief
00:03:32Vesna Mališić and several journalists, which they say
00:03:36they suspected even without prior official confirmation. Physical
00:03:39surveillance, recording conversations that took place in
00:03:43public places, bugging premises,
00:03:47the inspectors arrived, there is also cars, uh uh,
00:03:50so enormous resources were
00:03:53invested here. Surveillance measures for Radar, as well as other individuals, were extended
00:03:57multiple times, it's not surprising, says Radonjić, that Orlić
00:04:01requested surveillance because the Law on the Security Information
00:04:04Agency gives powers to the director to act on his own initiative
00:04:08in such a way that it simply should no longer continue
00:04:12to exist. In addition, Slavković says that all
00:04:15intelligence and counter-intelligence services should
00:04:18be disbanded or thoroughly investigated to see
00:04:22what exactly was done. This is the
00:04:25moment. Because BIA, explains Slavković, during
00:04:29the Progressive Party's rule, had the role of
00:04:32a training center for loyalists. There is no loyalist who has
00:04:35passed, uh, who has actually today reached
00:04:39some high position, who has not at least brushed
00:04:43against BIA. All requests that Orlić sent to the High
00:04:46Court in Belgrade were written template-wise, Radar writes,
00:04:50due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that the person is carrying out activities
00:04:54that endanger the constitutional order and security of the Republic
00:04:57of Serbia. Unfortunately, in our country, the courts... well, not just
00:05:00the courts, maybe also the prosecutor's office and some other, some other
00:05:04bodies, uh, which should have that
00:05:07supervisory mechanism in their hands, control over
00:05:10the service, are in a different position. In essence, they
00:05:14live in the shadow of the services. After several months
00:05:17of surveillance and implementation of secret surveillance measures, proposals
00:05:20for their further extension were rejected. This
00:05:23happened around the holding of snap parliamentary elections, and as
00:05:27an explanation for the rejection, it was stated that
00:05:31no evidence or suspicion presented by the BIA
00:05:34as justification for implementing
00:05:37the measures was collected. Ana Obačić, N1,

00:05:43The Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime announced that
00:05:46two cases have been opened in that prosecutor's office based on
00:05:49criminal charges filed by lawyer Ivan Ninić. One
00:05:53concerns the director of the Security Information Agency, Vladimir
00:05:57Orlić. As the report specified, the complaint was filed against
00:06:01the BIA director Orlić and several other BIA officers
00:06:05for criminal offenses of abuse of official position in
00:06:08conjunction with the criminal offense of violation of voting rights and
00:06:12the criminal offense of coercion. The second
00:06:15criminal complaint was filed against Minister of Justice
00:06:18Nenad Vujić, director of the Administration for the Execution of Criminal
00:06:21Sanctions Mile Jandrić, special
00:06:24advisor to the Minister of Justice Milica Radonjić, and
00:06:2860 other individuals, wardens of several correctional
00:06:31facilities and district prisons in Serbia, as
00:06:35well as officials of those facilities and prisons
00:06:38and unknown high-ranking officials, representatives
00:06:42and activists of the SNS for criminal
00:06:45offenses related to abuse of official position,
00:06:49trading in influence, giving and receiving bribes related to
00:06:52voting, as well as unauthorized collection of personal data,
00:06:56negligent work in service, racial and other
00:07:00discrimination.
00:07:04Head of UKP Marko Kričak was arrested based on a criminal
00:07:07complaint by Veselin Milić, but because of that, SAJ commander
00:07:11Igor Žmirić and seven other police officers
00:07:14were arrested on suspicion that they abused student
00:07:17Nikolina Sinđelić and her colleagues last summer in
00:07:21the garage of the government building. Citizen
00:07:24MB was also arrested with them, for whom the Nova
00:07:27portal writes that he is Milan Vuković, a former
00:07:30retired JZO member who became acting director
00:07:34of the special detention unit of the district prison in
00:07:37Belgrade. Everyone has been detained for 48
00:07:41hours. Student Nikolina Sinđelić, who was the first
00:07:44to testify about the abuse in the Serbian government garage, says that
00:07:48she and her colleagues managed to identify only three
00:07:52policemen, Kričak, Žmirić and Milan
00:07:55Vuković, but that many more people were involved
00:07:59in everything.
00:08:02Unfortunately, we were not able to
00:08:05identify the other individuals because we did not have support and
00:08:08cooperation from institutions, no one wanted to help
00:08:11us, uh... "everyone in the institutions was silent, and I hope
00:08:14that now that all this
00:08:17has started, we will get to all the people
00:08:21who abused other people, uh, also
00:08:23the two men who in the police cars
00:08:26abused our colleague Dušan, who put
00:08:30a pistol to his head, as he stated in court, uh, I think
00:08:33it is urgent that the people who
00:08:37were in the car who kidnapped our colleague at Slavija be found, uh,
00:08:41so there were many..." I mean there were about 30 of them, maybe even
00:08:45more, so I think we still have a lot
00:08:48of work to do to finish that criminal
00:08:51complaint generally.
00:08:53The hearing for the main trial before the Higher Court in Novi Sad in
00:08:57the proceedings against four attackers on citizens near
00:09:00Futoška market on December 13, 2024,
00:09:04has been postponed. The proxies of the injured party
00:09:07Lazar Srdić, lawyers Vladimir Beljanski and Srđan
00:09:10Hromiš, submitted an appeal yesterday to the Constitutional Court, from which they
00:09:14requested to establish a violation of the human right
00:09:17of the injured party to inviolability of physical and psychological
00:09:21integrity. The constitutional appeal also
00:09:24requested the Constitutional Court to annul the decisions of the former
00:09:27president on pardons, and before that,
00:09:30to urgently make a decision that postpones the execution
00:09:34of the pardon decisions until the final decision on
00:09:37the constitutional appeal. Let us remind you, on December 13,
00:09:412024, in Novi Sad, a black Porsche
00:09:44tried to drive through citizens who were paying
00:09:48respects to those who died in the collapse of the canopy. The vehicle
00:09:51knocked down several people, then stopped, then
00:09:54four men returned and attacked
00:09:58the gathered crowd. All four were
00:10:00pardoned: Aleksandar Kocić, Nemanja
00:10:03Narači, Ognjen Stanković, and Stevica
00:10:06Kiš.
00:10:10Novi Sad police have issued a warrant for Gorski
00:10:14Matović on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of endangering
00:10:17security. The warrant was issued because the police could not find him
00:10:21at his residential address. Let us remind you, Matović
00:10:24is one of the 49 people pardoned by the former
00:10:27president on the last day of his mandate. Matović
00:10:31was pardoned for the criminal offense of violent behavior
00:10:34when he hit a student in front of the Serbian National
00:10:38Theater, and then pushed a female student who hit her head
00:10:41against a wall. The last incident for which the police are looking for
00:10:45Matović, Matović caused on election day
00:10:48near a polling station when citizens
00:10:52reported him with a group of men
00:10:56intimidating voters.
00:11:00The Ministry of Interior in Niš confirmed that six people
00:11:05bikers who were part of the student list's mobile teams
00:11:08on election day, October 25. Students
00:11:11blockading the Niš University announced that
00:11:15they welcome the arrests. Among those arrested are Branislav
00:11:19Kačar, former councilor and advisor to Minister Novica
00:11:22Tončev, Vekoslav Pantić, fan
00:11:25of Radnički, Bojan Marinković, SNS
00:11:28official known as Boyzi, Aleksandar
00:11:32Aritonović, as well as Milan Mitić and his son Petar
00:11:35Mitić,
00:11:36a kickboxer.
00:11:41Provincial Secretary for Social Policy, Demography
00:11:44and Gender Equality Predrag Vuletić and
00:11:47the president of the committee of that Secretariat for reviewing
00:11:51applications for funding allocation, Dijana Milojević, have been arrested
00:11:55on suspicion of abusing their official position and damaging
00:11:58the budget of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina by
00:12:01130.9 million dinars. This concerns
00:12:04funds that were allocated to families with
00:12:07three or four children for solving
00:12:10housing issues or improving living conditions in
00:12:14Vojvodina under calls for proposals for the period from
00:12:172021 to 2024. According to
00:12:20the prosecution, the money was allocated to individuals who
00:12:24did not meet even the basic condition of the call, meaning
00:12:27they did not have a third or fourth child. It should not be
00:12:31forgotten that Vuletić is a member of Aleksandar
00:12:35Vulin's Socialist Movement, nor that last year he was among
00:12:38the officials who protested in front of the N1 building
00:12:41and blocked the entrance to the newsroom. Today,
00:12:45provincial assembly members from the opposition tried to
00:12:49impose this topic at the session, but the
00:12:52current ruling coalition prevented them from doing so. The president
00:12:55of the provincial government said that the presumption
00:12:59of innocence should be respected.
00:13:02What I expect is for that process to continue and we see that
00:13:06our, uh, our police, our prosecution have had some
00:13:09data all along. When they managed from the 26th until
00:13:13today to already form a case, to enter the Secretariat, it means that they have been
00:13:17following what is happening there for some time, whether it is based on
00:13:20citizens' reports, whether it is uh due to some
00:13:23other circumstances, we don't know, but it would be good
00:13:27if after the formation of the government, the State Audit Agency
00:13:30or some other body that will be under the government's wing enters the provincial
00:13:34secretariats to do everything that should have been
00:13:37done for years, which is to control the work of the provincial
00:13:41secretariats, because it is more than obvious that
00:13:44money has been stolen and that through various
00:13:48calls for proposals, through various secretariats, these funds have simply
00:13:51been siphoned off and ended up in someone's pockets.
00:13:56It's very obvious here and one of the very symptomatic moments is that Radio
00:13:59Television Vojvodina does not prioritize this assembly, the provincial
00:14:02secretary was arrested for alleged embezzlement of over
00:14:06130 million dinars, is that right? Also,
00:14:09here we are talking about a budget rebalance which is now absolutely pointless to discuss
00:14:13because, unfortunately, the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina largely depends on transfers
00:14:17of republican funds. We will very soon have a new government
00:14:20of the Republic of Serbia, the first one that will work not according to fathers or uncles,
00:14:23and we must wait for a certain logic of political
00:14:27processes. We cannot talk about the budget until that
00:14:30happens, until changes and new financial
00:14:33restructurings occur in the country, then it will be
00:14:37time for new provincial and all other
00:14:39elections.
00:14:41Have you heard about the presumption of innocence? Have you heard that it is
00:14:45forbidden? Have you heard that it is forbidden
00:14:49to discuss any proceedings until
00:14:52verdict is reached? Because
00:14:56you know that is an offense. You don't
00:14:58know that it is, you don't know that it is an offense.
00:15:02We will comment when we know anything
00:15:04at all.
00:15:07And continuing with the troubles of neighbors who
00:15:10have accounts at Alta
00:15:12Bank.
00:15:15Citizens are trying to get their money at Alta Bank
00:15:19branches in North Macedonia. The bank is guarded
00:15:23by police. And we will go and forcibly
00:15:27take it at the store, there's nothing
00:15:30else,
00:15:34and before that, about secret documents in Hungary.
00:15:39While in Serbia the public learns new information day by day
00:15:43about the surveillance of journalists, politicians and
00:15:46activists, the Hungarian public gained access on Wednesday
00:15:49to thousands of secret police files from the communist period.
00:15:53In the publicly available database, one can find out
00:15:57who worked for the service. The data shows several
00:16:00dozen individuals born in cities in
00:16:03Serbia. Someone found
00:16:06a relative in the documentation, someone a high school professor,
00:16:10someone a former boss. All of them had a so-called card number
00:16:14six, i.e., a file of a person recruited by the police as
00:16:18an informant. One of them that I found is my former
00:16:21father-in-law, but he died 40 years ago, and the other person
00:16:25was the spouse of an uncle, that person died
00:16:2820 years ago, so I would never have imagined that. On
00:16:32the internet, records of collaborators of the communist
00:16:35secret service are now available, while details of their recruitment
00:16:39will be published by the end of February. Reports on
00:16:42monitored individuals remain under special access rules
00:16:46to protect victims. Citizens who were the first
00:16:50to view the documentation on Wednesday say that it
00:16:54should have been published long ago, not even
00:16:5736 years after the fall of communist
00:17:00rule. A lot of time has passed, which has its good
00:17:04and bad sides. One of the advantages is that many of those who
00:17:08were recruited have since passed away, or are now so old
00:17:11that it makes no sense to argue with them, but what frustrated me the most
00:17:15was how information was extracted and how often it was
00:17:19used for blackmail. Hungary
00:17:21delayed the full opening of the files for decades
00:17:25because there was no political will until the arrival of Peter Magyar, for whom it
00:17:29was one of his election promises. The database
00:17:32is not complete, cannot be, and will never be complete,
00:17:36but as we have already said, the fact that we cannot publish everything does not mean
00:17:40that nothing should be published. For now, it is difficult to determine
00:17:44why people became informants, that is yet
00:17:48to be published. Perhaps they felt threatened,
00:17:51blackmailed, regardless of what was later written in their
00:17:54files. Perhaps they volunteered, perhaps they felt
00:17:58threatened and tried to fulfill what was asked
00:18:01of them. However they felt, the fact is that
00:18:05the network of informants was present in schools, factories,
00:18:08agricultural cooperatives, churches and families, that
00:18:12individuals did this for more than 30 years.
00:18:16Among the 60,000 names published are those
00:18:19of famous actors, presenters, ambassadors,
00:18:23as well as an Olympic champion in weightlifting.
00:18:26Symbolically, access to the files was granted on November
00:18:294, the 70th anniversary of the Soviet suppression
00:18:33of the Hungarian Revolution, after which the regime was strengthened.
00:18:37which monitored citizens for decades. Dušan
00:18:41Mlađenović, N1.
00:18:44The daily newspaper Danas learns that the police entered
00:18:47the provincial Pension and Disability Insurance Fund in Novi Sad tonight. Next,
00:18:51we are connecting with Žarko Bogosavljević from
00:18:53Razglas News. Žarko Bogosavljević is on the
00:18:56scene. Žarko, have the police entered the Pension Fund? What
00:19:00did you see?
00:19:03Yes, there are no uniformed police officers in the police van right now. They
00:19:07have left. This is the ground floor, the ground floor of the building.
00:19:11I will try to show you the entrance, there is currently no one on
00:19:15the ground floor, the police officers are on
00:19:18the upper floor, but you can see
00:19:21uh the vehicles in which
00:19:25a forensics vehicle. They are currently upstairs
00:19:29photographing and inspecting. As far as we have unofficially learned
00:19:32from employees who were let out, they are mostly
00:19:35currently inspecting computers and IT
00:19:39equipment. It is not yet precisely known what the police
00:19:43are looking for or on what grounds. There are two pieces of information circulating,
00:19:47one is that it is claimed that in the documentation in the Pension Fund, in their computers,
00:19:51lists of capillary votes of the Serbian
00:19:54Progressive Party were found and that the director
00:19:58of the provincial fund, Šučak, tried to delete it upon the arrival
00:20:02of the police or earlier to
00:20:05remove it, and the other information is that... some business of
00:20:08the provincial fund is being monitored, that is, the police
00:20:12are investigating at the order of the prosecutor's office for
00:20:15organized crime. For now, neither the prosecutor's office nor the police
00:20:19have made any statements. The police entered here towards the end of working
00:20:23hours, around 4 p.m. Employees were present, they were later
00:20:26let inside. In the building, I said, a dozen
00:20:30inspectors, forensics,
00:20:32several employees, presumably from the IT sector, as well as
00:20:35witnesses attending the search and Mr. Šurćuk,
00:20:39the director of the provincial fund, who is either giving
00:20:43a statement or simply, as some allege, is a suspect
00:20:47for some criminal offense about which we will yet hear what it is about.
00:20:51We will continue to follow, Žarko, thank you, you heard Žarko Bogosavljević
00:20:55from Razglas
00:20:56News.
00:20:59The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department
00:21:03of the Treasury has issued Mol and Mol
00:21:06Serbia with an additional license concerning the potential
00:21:10acquisition of an ownership stake in the Oil Industry
00:21:15the website of the Hungarian company Mol.
00:21:17The license authorizes the conduct
00:21:20of certain transactions necessary for the transfer of Russian-origin
00:21:23securities to Mol
00:21:27Serbia, as well as related activities, including
00:21:30obtaining certain necessary approvals from Russian
00:21:33state authorities. The license is valid until February 28,
00:21:372027. This permit authorizes
00:21:41the completion of a transaction that would result in the termination
00:21:45of Russian ownership and control over NIS. For any
00:21:49such completion, a separate OFAC approval would
00:21:52be required, the statement
00:21:54said.
00:21:58This news that appeared in our media, which Mol published
00:22:02on its corporate website, we cannot
00:22:05say that it is as significant as the attention it is getting,
00:22:08for the simple reason that we don't have the most
00:22:12important component there, which is the consent
00:22:15of the seller, i.e., the Russian side, that it wants to leave Serbia, to
00:22:19sell its shares in NIS. So, we had
00:22:22at the beginning of this year, somewhere in mid-January,
00:22:26only one piece of information from the Russian side, which was
00:22:29the signing of an agreement with Mol, where they
00:22:32made some kind of preliminary agreement. Everything after
00:22:36that did not indicate any desire on the Russian side
00:22:40to leave the oil industry
00:22:44of Serbia.
00:22:46We continue the story about Alta Bank.
00:22:50Problems in North Macedonia, the Minister
00:22:53of Finance and the Governor of North Macedonia assure that
00:22:57the banking sector there is stable and that the situation with
00:23:01Alta Bank Bitola has an almost insignificant
00:23:04impact. At the same time, the N1 team in front
00:23:08of the local Alta Bank branch records large crowds
00:23:12and dissatisfaction. Citizens are trying to
00:23:15get to a limited sum of money, and the bank
00:23:18is guarded by police. Gordana Bjanašić reports from Bitola.
00:23:21In front of the headquarters of Alta
00:23:25Bank in Bitola, police security occasionally
00:23:28intervenes. People have been in line since this morning trying to
00:23:32get in. Since this morning, after Saturday, the bank doors
00:23:35have been opened for the first time, but not everyone
00:23:39can go inside. Those standing in line are mostly people who since
00:23:43Saturday have not been able to withdraw even a denar of their
00:23:46money. These are those who do not have payment cards, so mostly...
00:24:20we will take it by force from the
00:24:22store, there's nothing else, we don't
00:24:26steal, we take cash, give them money,
00:24:29here's your money and that's it, it was announced that there would be social assistance,
00:24:33that there would be care, but there's nothing, they said now, now they will announce
00:24:37from when, they will announce, so you are still waiting, we are waiting
00:24:39again, what will you do in the meantime, nothing, what will we
00:24:43do, we'll stay like this on the streets, we'll stay
00:24:47on the streets, that's it, I'm not talking like this. And what will this
00:24:50people do, what is this people, there are more police than people
00:24:54waiting, from whom does the police defend
00:24:57the bank, from whom do they defend, we will
00:25:00attack it, Alta Bank has become
00:25:03a Serbian and Macedonian problem, journalist
00:25:06Kristina Atovska says that citizens from both countries
00:25:10have the same question, where is our money? Here we are really talking
00:25:14about money, maybe something else is escaping
00:25:18from... "public opinion, but when
00:25:21money is at stake, because people here don't have that much money,
00:25:25so it's always a very important, very important
00:25:29bank closes or has
00:25:32some problems in the financial market, then
00:25:36it is a big scandal. The governor assures citizens that
00:25:39everything will be fine, that they will not lose their
00:25:43money. Alta Bank, on the one hand an economic
00:25:46issue, on the other a political one. For 11
00:25:50months we spoke for the first time about this topic, that Alta
00:25:53Bank must not enter the banking system of
00:25:57Macedonia and that it is a potential problem
00:26:00for SNS money which...
00:26:23people who are in line here mostly have
00:26:26not even managed to get into the bank. The National
00:26:29Bank says that they will receive SMS messages. They will have to wait
00:26:33until it is their turn, however, they are impatient, days pass and
00:26:37they do not have access to their money. Gordana Bjeletić,

00:26:45The temporary measures that REM imposed on Informer television have
00:26:48not yet come into force, the former president claims that
00:26:52in about ten days that media will be completely
00:26:56shut down. Employees of that television say that the
00:26:59only opposition media that has always
00:27:02fostered freedom of
00:27:06freedom looked since Informer became
00:27:10television, Maja Nikolić
00:27:12reminds us. Long live freedom of
00:27:15speech, it was freedom of speech
00:27:18of hatred, Montenegrin cattle, I must say so, in
00:27:21cooperation with the blockading Serbian
00:27:24cattle, it was freedom to freely call
00:27:28for violence, beat
00:27:31and break ribs. Informer had unlimited freedom
00:27:35to show your intimate pictures. This is Nikolina
00:27:38Sinđelić. Freedom was to have your underage
00:27:42child photographed.
00:27:44Jelena Obućina. They freely read students' grades
00:27:48on the program. Vuk Vasiljević, Serbian language, an F like a door
00:27:51in the mid-term. They had unlimited freedom in
00:27:55targeting N1 journalists. You rotten
00:27:58gang from N1. They
00:28:00participate.
00:28:03They freely spread panic, announced murders,
00:28:06among the blockaders they will kill
00:28:09the youngest, when they insulted students on religious
00:28:12grounds, that was freedom, veiled Hamas members,
00:28:16pro-Hamas, Islamists overjoyed and they have a reason, well
00:28:20yes, freedom of speech had no
00:28:23limits, after the canopy fell, that weight on which this strange
00:28:26white device hangs, it was freedom to swear on live
00:28:30program. "You inflicted a fraudulent terrorist wound on them, I don't give a
00:28:33damn to not say
00:28:36what, how it
00:28:39hisses to me,
00:28:42it hisses, and how it would hiss not to say what for their
00:28:45bans, and all this is only a fraction of the freedom that
00:28:49maybe these kinds of journalists will no longer have, and they are
00:28:52banning us with this ban, they
00:28:56are digging out Serbia's eyes, that's right, they are cutting off Serbia's
00:29:00ears,
00:29:02and tongues of Serbia, they want to make us mute, deaf
00:29:06and blind, so that then in total darkness
00:29:10they can do whatever they want. Due to the temporary
00:29:13ban on certain content on Informer television,
00:29:16the acting president of Serbia convened an urgent
00:29:20press conference. Today
00:29:22is also officially
00:29:26the beginning of the dictatorship
00:29:28of the student list. Informer is.
00:29:32Informer television has been practically shut down
00:29:35on a practically shut down television that is still
00:29:39working, an address by the former president was broadcast
00:29:42on TikTok, a man whose addresses not long ago
00:29:46were broadcast by as many as 46 televisions
00:29:49simultaneously, that's why he gives support
00:29:52to the only one that remained loyal to him. Informer
00:29:54has
00:29:56cleared the name of
00:30:00libertarian Serbia. And in
00:30:03about ten days they will shut down their television, only those people who participated
00:30:07in it, everyone must know that they will be held accountable sooner or later.
00:30:11Of the numerous propaganda fortresses that Aleksandar Vučić
00:30:14had for years, it seems that Informer television
00:30:18remained the last stronghold. It is now important for him
00:30:21to stop the erosion, he is buying time, because
00:30:25they are now trying to cover up traces that
00:30:28will lead to indictments. I think it is important for him to maintain
00:30:32homogeneity among loyalists, because he will need a group of people he can
00:30:36bring out into the streets to protect some of his
00:30:38misdeeds, we all remember the consequences
00:30:41of the misdeeds of those loyal to the president. Interestingly, however,
