Aleksandar Vucic believes that the draft changes to the Law on Information are much more restrictive than the legislation passed in 1998. "I have no problem with that law being mentioned, since I've already admitted what was wrong about it and where I went wrong," the opposition Serb Progressive Party (SNS) deputy leader said. "Media law worse than one from 1998" "Since I had no courage to speak up then, instead even advocating it, I will take the all the punches – but then, don't do what I have done and much worse, in a situation where there's no immediate danger of war, or a state of war," Vucic told Belgrade daily Borba. He also said that the new law envisages penalties "ten times higher". "There's simply no reason to adopt it, ten years have gone by, times are different. There's no security uncertainty, and yet a law ten times worse is being passed," he was quoted as saying by the newspaper. In 1998, during the Milosevic regime, Vucic was a member of the Serb Radicals (SRS) and a cabinet minister who pushed a law on media that caused an uproar, due to its draconian penalties and other restrictive measures.
