Journalist of Pobjeda, Nada Kovačević, reported Milovan Gojović to the Police Directorate on March 3rd after he left an offensive comment on Facebook under an article she authored.

In his comment, Gojović suggested that Kovačević had “taken money” for an interview with a representative of the Montenegrin diaspora and that she was “poisoning the media scene.”

The police responded swiftly, arresting Gojović the same day. A hearing was also held that day before the Misdemeanor Court in Podgorica.

Gojović admitted guilt and apologized to the journalist.
