"Tanjug continues to operate in Serbia's virtual reality"

Not virtual reality at all. It is called clientelism and it is pretty much the reality all over the Balkans. Party people employed in state organs, advancing the party interests, that is the money making and power grabbing. The media positions are especially precious. The positions where EU development funds are handled and projects and public procurements are awarded as well. Don't forget customs. Given that elections are around the corner, Tanjug will still be useful to some of them, my guess is Vucic, but maybe Dacic as well, so don't expect it to stop working anytime soon.
