The Montenegrin police have reportedly issued a ban prohibiting Dragan J. Vučićević, the editor-in-chief of the Belgrade tabloid “Informer,” from entering Montenegro. This decision was confirmed to “Vijesti” by a source associated with the Montenegrin Police Directorate.
According to reports, the basis for the restriction stems from content and statements published by Vučićević and his media organization, which is noted to have connections to Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. Montenegrin authorities have alleged that “Informer” has consistently disseminated material deemed hostile toward Montenegro and its citizenry. This action follows previous regulatory intervention.
The Council of the Montenegrin Audiovisual Media Service had previously imposed a temporary restriction on the broadcast activities of “Informer TV.” That ruling indicated that the outlet’s content violated the dignity of the Montenegrin people and contributed to the erosion of national identity. The ban signals a continued level of tension between the media outlet and the authorities in Montenegro. The decision by the police underscores the concerns held by Montenegrin officials regarding the messaging originating from the publication.
The measure aims to prevent further dissemination of content that Montenegrin authorities characterize as undermining the national cohesion and public order within Montenegro.
