Čečen: It is not journalists who are linked to Belivuk, but Vučić through his son Danilo

In a reaction to Prime Minister Ana Brnabić’s statement that the criminal clan of Veljko Belivuk had “direct support from the investigative media”, journalist Branko Čečen said on TV N1’s Novi Dan that the Belivuk clan was not linked to investigative journalists, but to the government and Aleksandar Vučić through his son Danilo.

“The government is connected is linked to the Belivuk clan, Vucic is linked to the Belivuk clan through his son Danilo. “Witnesses in court from the Belivuk clan said that the person (Aleksandar Vidojevic) Rošavi, with whom Vucic’s son has friendship, was the link between the Belivuk clan and Vucic,” Čečen said.

He also assessed that Prime Minister Brnabic’s statement about alleged links between the investigative media and the Belivuk clan shows that she is not useful to Vucic for anything other than blatant lying.

“It is appalling that we have a spokeswoman, practically linked to organised crime with the authorities, in the position of Prime Minister of this country (…) Such insults and lies about us give me the right to speak out strongly about this”, said Čečen.

With her statement, according to the guest of Novi dan, the Prime Minister crossed the red line of humanity and endangered the safety of investigative journalists.

“If you decide to defend your nonsense and then call investigative journalists, lying that they did something, fascism, that no longer obliges me to choose my words regarding Ana Brnabić and who she is, what she is and what she is doing in this country,” he declared.

But investigative journalists are not the only targets of government attacks. Čečen added that it is difficult to watch “the harrasing of Rada Trajković”, with the assessment that today there is no one to protect that Serbian politician from Kosovo, except possibly the international public.

“We saw what happened with Oliver Ivanović, and the people in the north of Kosovo know very well what happens when they anger the SNS and Zvonko Veselinović and his people down there,” Čečen concluded./N1/
