Montenegrin police have issued a decision banning the editor of the Belgrade tabloid Informer, Dragan J. Vučićević, from entering Montenegro.
This was confirmed to Vijesti by a source from the Police Directorate.
As reported, Vučićević, in Informer—which he also owns and which is close to the regime of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić—has been continuously spreading hate speech against the state of Montenegro and its citizens.
The Council of the Agency for Audiovisual Media Services (SAMU) adopted a decision at the end of May on the temporary restriction of reception and re-broadcasting of the entire program of “Informer TV,” due to the continuous broadcasting of content that insults the dignity of the Montenegrin people, denies Montenegrin national identity, encourages hate speech and discrimination, and insults the dignity of citizens and institutions of Montenegro.
Vučićević today asked “why they would ban me from going where I didn’t even want to go.”
“Why would you ban me from entering Montenegro when I didn’t even want to go there, nor will I go…,” Vučićević said, among other things, as reported by Vijesti.
As reported, he also denied having ever made any insults toward Montenegro.
“Moreover, our television is banned in Montenegro. The Montenegrin REM has banned the broadcast of our program, so whatever we said during the Summit in Montenegro, they couldn’t even see it there. And I have never in my life said any serious insults about Montenegro, let alone on a show,” Vučićević said today.
On June 3, after entry was banned for 87 men from Serbia into Montenegro, he referred to Montenegrin institutions on his television as “anti-Serb,” “Ustasha…”
“Here the Montenegrin cattle, in cooperation with the blockading Serbian cattle, directly caused the life of President Aleksandar Vučić to be endangered. They made criminals out of people who went to Montenegro today. Athletes, patriots, Serbs, without any weapons, they are lying, what weapons, nonsense. They went to Montenegro and then some anti-Serb, Ustasha, ‘Milo-loyalist’ cattle harassed them at the airport, and then 87 of them were returned to Serbia without any legal basis,” Vučićević said on June 3 during the tabloid’s news program.
He added that “on their media there, Milo-loyalist, Ustasha, anti-Serb media in Montenegro, they created the most horrific campaign as if these were some criminals.”
“I responsibly claim that not a single criminal was on that plane, no one with a record. There was no weaponry, although they are lying in their false reports that they were armed. When we see what is happening, I would not be exaggerating if I suspected that it could happen that on Friday, June 5, Milo Đukanović together with Zvicer and Milojko Spajić might attempt some crime. I am appealing to President Vučić through this channel, and I am not the only one who thinks this way, to once again consider whether he should go to Tivat. I am asking him not to go to that Montenegro. Because if they are ready for what they have done, who knows what else they are capable of. We are dealing with dangerous villains,” Vučićević said at the time during an appearance on the Informer tabloid news program.
As a reminder, the plane that landed on June 3 at Tivat airport mainly carried passengers with criminal records and individuals who have been mentioned for years in Serbian media as persons engaged for special tasks of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) regime.
These were individuals, some of whom have been charged with serious criminal offenses, who opposition media and activists in Serbia have for years labeled as close to Aleksandar Vučić’s regime.
Most of those on the list, who were banned from entering Montenegro, have been linked to the SNS regime, which allegedly engages them when needed for rallies, securing party premises, and organizing counter-protests.
As Vijesti recalls, according to publicly available data, the authorities have also used them to silence political opponents at stadiums and basketball arenas, at opposition and student protests, as well as for distributing party pamphlets and painting SNS graffiti.
