Vucic said Thursdsay that the whole mosaic of changing the structure of ownership in Belgrade-based dailies Politika and Vecernje novosti and Novi Sad-based daily Dnevnik had finally been assembled. “All the details will be known by the end of August,” he said, adding that a “party Leviathan” was behind everything and that even diplomatic and consular missions had been used for party purposes. “Although everything was done in a non-transparent manner and in a way in which such things are never done in the civilized world, the people behind this had the support of the state bodies, they had the support from our state bodies even here in Moscow,” said the deputy PM. He said that it would be very difficult to deal with the case in court, adding, however, that the state would find legal solutions to protect the state-owned property. “We have now assembled a complete mosaic and there are no more secrets whatsoever in the case of Politika, Novosti and Dnevnik. What we are doing right now is trying to find the best solution under the law,” Vucic concluded. Aleksandar Vucic (Beta) Tanjug
