Member of the Main Board of the Serbian Progressive Party, Siniša Vučinić, directed a series of insults and slanders at the media outlets N1, Nova, Danas, and Vreme, as well as at journalist Filip Švarm, via the social media platform Instagram.

In his posts, Vučinić labeled these media organizations as “terrorist and fascist media” that “promote and incite evil,” and referred to Filip Švarm as a “proven Ustaša and pedophile.” He also called for “resistance against the blockers and pro-NATO opposition,” labeling them “traitors of the Serbian people, potential murderers, Ustašas, and terrorists.”
