The journalist of TV Vijesti, Danilo Ajković, was targeted by Deputy Prime Minister Nik Đeljošaj, who tried to discredit him and his work.

Đeljošaj posted a status on his Facebook account in which he calls Ajković a “quack-journalist” who tells falsehoods along with two other people at someone’s behest.

He wrote that he would personally try to find out the truth and that the journalist “answers for his misdeeds”.
