Ivanović's columns are a mirror of the anti-Serbian media pattern in Montenegro
The Podgorica portal "Borba" assessed that the co-owner of "Daily Press", the publisher of "Vijesti", Željko Ivanović, has shown a pronounced political and media orientation towards Serbia and President Aleksandar Vučić for years in his columns and public appearances, which, according to the portal, is increasingly giving the impression in parts of the public that this is an editorial pattern that goes beyond usual political criticism.
TL;DR
- Podgorički portal „Borba” accuses Željko Ivanović of a consistent anti-Serbian media and political orientation towards Serbia and President Aleksandar Vučić.
- The portal suggests that this focus creates an impression of an editorial pattern exceeding standard political criticism.
- It is claimed that investors from Serbia perceived as close to Belgrade are viewed as "influence," "projects," or potential threats.
- "Borba" questions whether the criticism is about capital or the identity and political orientation of investors.
- The portal notes a lack of similar criticism towards investors like Dragan Šolak or Dragan Đilas, while Serbian investors not aligned with official Belgrade are heavily scrutinized.
- Ivanović's appearances are interpreted as part of a broader pattern where Serbian capital in Montenegro is treated as a political issue of suitability, not an economic or media one.
- The analysis concludes that a significant part of the Montenegrin media scene maintains an unchanged negative stance towards Serbia and Vučić, resembling political fixation.
