Aiden White, ex journalist of The Guardian and IFJ General secretary, founder of Ethical Journalism Network:
"In Montenegro you have only several media, that could be truly called independent, that are ready to hold the authorities to account, and these media, especially Vijesti group, are the most attacked. However, it is important to emphasize, looking at what the public supports, than it is independent journalism, and that is true in Montenegro as well as anywhere else. The most circulated newspaper, and the most reliable TV station, are coming from under the same roof, and that is the Vijesti group. They are independent, the public supports them and it is a group that refuses to be a pro-government or politically biased media."
