After tabloids launched a smear campaign against N1 television journalist Danica Vučenić, journalists from those outlets sought a reaction from President Aleksandar Vučić, who continued in a similar narrative, again targeting N1 and Nova TV. In his statement regarding potential bans on N1 and Nova, President Vučić claimed that such measures “could have been taken long ago in accordance with the law because they have countless times called for the overthrow of the constitutional order and have been very actively involved in it,” while simultaneously using language that delegitimized the outlets, accusing them of spreading hatred and lying “about severely injured and dead boys in Valjevo.”
