Following the journalists’ public testimony before the Commission for Combating Corruption of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 11 May, in which they spoke about the operations of private higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the acquisition of “questionable” diplomas, lawyer Mirnes Ajanović – who represents the European University Kallos – published a series of unfounded and offensive claims against Anisa Mahmutović and Adis Mujdanović. He referred to the journalist Mahmutović as an “SDA associate”, accused the journalists of “presenting half-truths” and “manipulating the public” and shared photomontages featuring the journalists’ faces created using artificial intelligence tools.
