This is the text that the Vuçiqi family wanted to remove from the internet at all costs – It didn’t work

The Basic Court of Podgorica recently dismissed a lawsuit initiated by Andrej Vučić against the Montenegrin daily newspaper “Vijesti,” its editor-in-chief, and several associated journalists. The legal action centered on the publication of screenshots sourced from the “Sky” application, which contained mentions pertaining to the brother of the President of Serbia. According to reports from the Croatian newspaper “Jutarnji list,” the court determined that the dissemination of this specific text was in the public interest.

The court’s ruling established that because Andrej Vučić is recognized as a public figure and an active participant in Serbian political life, he must accept a higher level of public scrutiny and criticism than private citizens. Consequently, the court dismissed the claim, through which Vučić was seeking compensation amounting to 5,000 euros. The legal proceedings highlight a dispute over the boundaries of privacy versus public disclosure concerning prominent political figures.

Sources indicate that elements connected to the Vučić family reportedly wanted the original content removed from circulation at all costs. However, the judicial decision prioritized the public’s right to information over the individual’s claims of privacy in this context. The judgment underscores the legal standard that public participation in political discourse subjects individuals to a degree of public accountability.
