Branka Lazić, journalist of "Informer" Television, responds to the portrait published by "Vreme" on March 9 of this year. We are transcribing her answer in full
Dear customer, the truth is that I am the target of attacks at the protests, not the provocateur, and I am sure that, although the editorial policy does not allow you to admit it, as professional journalists you yourself know, as well as the fact that it is not, as you say, a "tabloid" show.
And as colleagues, you should also react and condemn it. The only thing that concerns Šarović is that I went privately, not on assignment, after work to ask him why he harasses students who just want to study.
I am employed, as always, at the competition for journalists on "Informer" TV.
The UNS letter that you mention in the text was written in 2017 because of Raja Rodić, the owner of "Kurir", who owed me and many others a salary, but not because of that. Namely, Rodić created a big long-term problem for me, because I could not exercise my basic rights due to his malfeasance and sign out of my employment at the SINA agency.
It was for this reason that I was forced to found the TeoBra agency, so that I could legally work and have health insurance as a supplementary activity, and when I succeeded, I froze the work of the agency. According to the law, you cannot work unless you resign from your previous job.
Perhaps it was precisely because of that announcement that such types of malfeasance, caused by the corruption and negligence of the previous regime, were recognized and persisted in many spheres and institutions. The current Government of Serbia made a decision that applying for a second employment relationship automatically terminates the previous one. And thank them for that on behalf of all of us who have had such a problem.
Since then, the top of the state has done a lot by correcting the shortcomings caused by the previous government, including in the work of the institutions, so I believe that with the tremendous efforts of President Vučić, Serbia is becoming a state of law, despite the fact that the remnants of "yellow" cadres and mercenaries continue to undermine and want to destroy the effort for the progress of the country and the work of the institutions.
Thank you for the text, but it would be collegial if you call me another time, so that the other side can be heard.
PS: And most importantly, for the first time I can work in the way I always wanted, as a free journalist, without any pressure, to express my personal position under, as the "non-tabloid" media claim, Vučić's dictatorship. Maybe that's the reason I drew so much public attention. It would be nice if I could do the same at the time when Đilas was in power and others who now want, for their own interests, evil to the citizens of Serbia. My personal attitude, with the desire that you too be free, without pressure.
