On 23 January 2026, Vijesti journalist Jelena Jovanović reported Čedomir Radičević (70) to the police for an online attack, insults, and attempted intimidation.

Jovanović became the target of Radičević’s offensive comments during the broadcast of the programme “Minula neđelja” on A Plus Television, in which she appeared as a guest, while speaking about individuals charged by the Special State Prosecutor’s Office (SDT) with serious criminal offences.

The day following the report, the Podgorica Court for Misdemeanors fined Radičević €400 for crude and misogynistic insults directed at the journalist. Before the court, he stated that he accepted responsibility, apologised to Jovanović, and expressed remorse and shame, adding that he had not wanted to delete the Facebook post before giving a statement to the police.
