Tomislav Kukec, a journalist who was reporting on the student protests in Serbia, has become a target of Serbian media. Informer and Večernje novosti accused him of advising the students participating in the protests and of being involved in attacks on the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić. According to these media outlets, Vučić and Brnabić have “exposed” those allegedly behind the organization of the protests and the incitement of “chaos” in Serbia.
