Brnabić: They will not silence me and I will continue to fight

As she stated, she only showed the front pages of certain newspapers and thereby raised an important topic for our society.

Being hosted in the morning program of Happy Television, she said that given that certain media said that she would also be on the front page when she started doing her job, she finally started doing it.

"Here I am on the front page of Danas, which means that according to their opinion, I have started doing my job. It means that they also recognize that my job is to point out the spread of falsehoods from certain media. I repeat, I have never expressed any critical judgment or stifled freedom of speech. I just asked my team to do an analysis, just count the front pages and see how many times Aleksandar Vučić is mentioned on the front pages, where Danas won convincingly with 85%, and the Nova tabloid came in second place with 77 percent. I don't know how you attack someone with their front page or their spoken words. I never even sued them for all the lies and I followed the example of Aleksandar Vučić, who never sued them, even when they attacked his brother, son and other family members. Citizens will judge what is true and what is not, and I have complete trust in them. I just wonder if there are media that are sacred cows and about which no one is allowed to say anything," asked the Prime Minister.

Brnabić also pointed out that there were cases when the writings of the tycoon media, as she calls them, caused damage to the Republic of Serbia.

"Tycoon media is not an insult. Well, please, the British Sky News said, when Solak bought a club in the Premier League, that the club was bought by a tycoon who owns media in Serbia. And what is a lie or controversial? It is controversial when they write lies which often harm the reputation of our country. One example is when the tabloid Nova.rs "exclusively found out" that Vučić refused to sign and support the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This is of course a lie, we supported the territorial integrity of Ukraine. And then it is reported by N1, Today... Is that professional journalism? I don't think it is and I have an obligation to say that. They knew it wasn't true, but the priority was to attack Aleksandar Vučić. Do you think that no foreign investor saw that, called us and said - we are not sure if we will come to Serbia now? Yes, it caused us harm. And then we had to do double work, to prove that it is not true and continue to work on attracting that investment - Brnabić said. She reminded also of the case when those media wrote that Aleksandar Vučić had set up barricades in Kosovo and Metohija, that they were not Serbs but criminals, and then the next day that Vučić removed those barricades and thereby threatened the interests of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija. I have the right to say that I think it is not professional journalism. I will continue to talk about it and they will not silence me," she stated.

In the show, Brnabić also touched on the WikiLeaks dispatches, which, among other things, clearly state that Vuk Jeremic was in favor of Serbia's full membership in NATO or that Zdravko Ponoš is at the heart of the reform of the Serbian Army that will ensure the position of the Serbian army in the U.S. interest.

"Those people, such people, who were silent during the pogrom against the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, who are in favor of full membership in NATO, who wanted to postpone the declaration of independence of the so-called Kosovo after the second round of the presidential elections in order for Boris Tadić to win, do such people respect Aleksandar Vučić today?! And what is even more bizarre, we as a society have come to the point that when you say this, repeat their words, or God forbid, make a video about their statements - you are targeting, attacking? That is the ultimate level of bizarreness," Prime Minister concluded.
