At the press conference of the “Hrabro se broji” coalition, on the occasion of the presentation of the program for the parliamentary elections on June 11, Prime Minister in technical mandate Dritan Abazović called out Gradska TV, alluding to the connection with crime.

He told the Gradska TV reporter that the “informal bosses” of this media are in the Sky application.

“All along, you had the task of making the fight against corruption and organized crime meaningless. This coalition was created so that the truth would come out. The name of the ferry “Hand of Justice” is as neutral as possible, but it is determined by values”, he said, reports the City Portal.
