Drugging by Vučić: 143 hours of the presidency
In January and February alone, 143 hours of speeches by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, were broadcast on five television stations with national coverage.
TV maniac
Central homeland stand-up
Vučić's audience does not want to be where he is, so the question is whether they even want to listen to it, whether they understand, for example, the metaphor about little pigs. The president said that the student protests will end when they eat the roasted piglets. It seems to me that it was after the blockade of Autokomanda. A few days later, he recorded a family video with roast pork in a tavern in Borča

The future of media in Serbia
No changes – until further notice
The sale of parts of the United Group from the state-owned Telekom creates an almost monopoly in the field of media content. When you add to that the attacks on small and independent media, the landscape in which Serbian citizens are informed takes on an even darker shade of black.

Capitalists and entertainers
The disappearance of N1 and Nova S in today's form would mean a dark media age in Serbia. Granted, it has been dark for four decades, but it would be even blacker
TV maniac
Lie and paralysis
The strained political relations in Serbia led to an intense propaganda war through the media. While RTS is desperately trying to reconcile the irreconcilable positions of the government and the opposition, commercial channels controlled by the government are conducting an intensive campaign primarily against students, educators, non-governmental organizations and NGO activists. To this list should be added influencers on social networks who are a specific thorn in the side of Vučić's and his activists' attempts to conquer virtual space in cyberspace.
