The head of the Democratic parliamentary group Boris Bogdanović abused the debate on the Law on Court Experts in the Parliament of Montenegro today to falsely attack journalists from three Montenegrin media outlets, accusing them of being paid by organized criminal groups.
Bogdanović, without any hesitation and without presenting any facts, said that Television E, M Portal and Portal Analitika are on the payroll of both the Kavački and Škaljar clans, and that journalists allegedly receive up to 8,000 euros per article for publishing articles.
- Articles that protect dirty police officers, officers and non-commissioned officers are not written to be read, but to be cashed in. Because the Kavački and Škaljar clans pay them up to 8,000 euros for individuals. Not weekly, not monthly, not annually, but per article - said Bogdanović.
He labeled these media outlets, along with the Bemax company, as an obstacle, as he said, to the country's recovery processes from the metastatic connection between the police, the Army of Montenegro and the National Security Agency with organized crime, claiming that they are protected by the "boss".
- And, above all of them, they are protected by the boss. Not a journalist, not an editor, but the real owner. The boss and those who call him boss. Those who never knew what the state was, because they always thought it was theirs - said Bogdanović.
This is not the first time that political officials have targeted the media and journalists, which has been condemned on several occasions by the domestic and international public, warning that such statements are dangerous and encourage an atmosphere of lynching towards the media and journalists.
Bogdanović similarly targeted the informal student group "Kamo śutra", which he accused of being instructed by criminal clans for organizing protests at the beginning of the year that demanded the resignations and dismissals of his party comrades, the Minister of Internal Affairs Danilo Šaranoivić and the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of security Aleksa Bečić, and for the catastrophic failures of the police during the tragedy in Cetinje on January 1st of this year.
