Lazović: Tablets are my personal therapy

Doctor Ranko Lazović reacted to the text "Ranko Lazović returned from UIKS application form, undeclared tablets found in his possession", published today on the Vijesti portal.

We transmit Lazović's reaction in full:

"The tablets you mention in the text, in the context of the information that I was visiting my blood relative, the detained Zoran Lazović, are my personal therapy that I take every day, and which I brought with me due to today's medical duty at the institution where I am employed.

I carried two medications and three supplements (magnesium, omega 3 and zinc) with me. I told UIKS official Nikola Jokić that the therapy is for personal use, explained the purpose and purpose, and asked for a laboratory analysis to be done for each tablet and supplement. I also tried to explain that in the civilized world, even at all border crossings, personal therapy is not taken away. In the end, I offered to leave the therapy on the registration form and enter the visiting room without it, which they refused.

You could have found out all this before the publication of the text, if you had contacted me in accordance with the Law on Media and the Code of Journalists. Due to the unprofessional and sensationalist reporting, I am putting an end to further advertising related to this event. We will continue communication on this topic in an institution that, I believe, still protects the honor and reputation of citizens," said Lazović.
