Živković: In not so long ago, there was a military wing of the then SNP called the Seventh Battalion

"Even though the relations between the SNP and Dan have not been blooming for a long time, even though this media space was "occupied" by those who tore the SNP apart, it is obvious that this party and the aforementioned media still unite much more than they divide."

Observing the media attack, once "two eyes in the head", of the Socialist People's Party (SNP) and the daily newspaper "Dan", on the Ministry of Defense, we are not surprised by their mutual coordination and synchronization, Danijel Živković, deputy of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) announced today ) in the Assembly of Montenegro.

He reacted to yesterday's announcement by Marija Radinović, an analyst at the SNP Media Center who said, among other things, that "the leaders of the Ministry of Defense have once again shown that they are not afraid of anything".

"Although the relationship between the SNP and Dan has not been blooming for a long time, even though this media space was "occupied" by those who tore the SNP apart, it is obvious that this party and the mentioned media still unite much more than they divide. That's why this, populist - demagogic The SNP's call for the defense of journalist Dan from the Ministry of Defense of Montenegro cannot help but bring us back to some past times. And in those, not so long ago, there was a military wing of the then SNP called the Seventh Battalion. We remember their " "gentle" attitude towards foreign and domestic journalists: from arrests, through confiscation of equipment, intimidation, persecution to constant threats to "conquer" state television. journalists are mistreated and harassed. Just as we do not remember that anyone, including this trade union that has now engaged, has ever spoken out to protect the attacks on newsrooms and journalists who report differently than Dan and other opposition media do. We are thinking of physical attacks on newsrooms, through drawing targets of their female colleagues, to vulgar insults that were launched in the columns of one of the "professionals" towards female journalists who were not to his liking," Živković pointed out.

He added that the Army of Montenegro, regardless of unsuccessful provocations, is dedicatedly working on the development of our defense for the benefit of all citizens of Montenegro, who will never again have the opportunity to fear "their" army on their territory.

"The Ministry of Defense of Montenegro only carries out activities within its jurisdiction and does not allow itself to be the subject of provocations and subversion. This protects the reputation of the army and the state. As far as the ministry's public relations and cooperation with the media are concerned, they have been the subject for a long time praise of the public speaker, so this "media diversion" aimed at the reputation of the Army of Montenegro, the ministry and the relevant minister, did not achieve the desired effect," said Živković.
