Host Ognjen Amidžić and his wife Mina Naumović are marking the second birthday of their son Perun, an event both opposition and pro-government outlets report as a family celebration shared on social media. They agree that Amidžić posted an emotional Instagram message in which he expressed deep love and gratitude to Perun, thanked him for the happiness he brought into their lives, and emphasized how special his youngest son is. Both sides also note that Perun is the youngest in a blended family that includes Lola, the couple’s daughter, and Matija, Amidžić’s older son from a previous marriage.
Coverage from both opposition and pro-government media situates the birthday within Amidžić’s broader public image as a popular television host whose private life often draws social media attention. They agree that the story centers on his role as a devoted father and the way celebrity family moments are shared with the public through Instagram. Both sides frame the birthday as part of an ongoing narrative in which Amidžić’s family, including Mina Naumović’s engagement with commenters, has become a familiar subject for entertainment and lifestyle sections rather than hard political news.
Areas of disagreement
Tone and framing of the celebration. Opposition-aligned outlets tend to present the birthday as a warm, apolitical human-interest piece that highlights Amidžić’s emotional message and family bonds without dramatization. Pro-government outlets lean more on sensationalist framing in titles and wording, emphasizing that messages are arriving from all sides and portraying the post as a larger media event. While opposition pieces keep the focus on the intimate father–son relationship, pro-government pieces more explicitly market the moment as celebrity news designed to attract clicks and reinforce Amidžić’s visibility.
Treatment of criticism and name controversy. Opposition outlets largely omit or downplay any controversy around the name Perun, treating it as an unremarkable personal choice and keeping the spotlight on the birthday and heartfelt caption. Pro-government coverage, by contrast, underscores earlier negative comments about the child’s name and highlights Mina Naumović’s sharp reaction to those critics, portraying the family as standing up to online negativity. This gives pro-government stories a mild conflict angle, whereas opposition stories preserve a more purely celebratory tone.
Positioning of Amidžić in the public sphere. Opposition-aligned media generally depict Amidžić simply as a well-known host and father, with minimal linkage to broader cultural battles or political symbolism. Pro-government outlets, by foregrounding the defense against online attacks and the volume of supportive messages, subtly cast him as a popular and widely backed public figure whose family choices resonate with the audience. As a result, the same birthday becomes either a private milestone briefly opened to the public or a small demonstration of broader social support around a media personality.
In summary, opposition coverage tends to frame Perun’s second birthday as a straightforward, tender family moment shared by a popular TV host, while pro-government coverage tends to heighten the drama, spotlight past criticism of the child’s name, and present the family’s response as part of a wider narrative of public support and pushback against online negativity.
