The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, as a guest on TV Prva, denied the writing of daily Danas that the Kovid hospital in Batajnica does not have a building permission, and commenting on the writing of Danas, he pointed out that it was “not Danas but Djilas’s newspaper, Dragan Djilas’s newspaper” and stated that “it is officially Dragan Djilas’s newspaper”. The journalist then corrected him by saying that it is about “United Media”, and in the end Vucic stated: “Solak, Djilas, that is the same”.
