Tabloid Kurir, known to be close to the government, is suing independent media and one NGO claiming damages of close to 100 000…

The publisher of the pro-government tabloid Kurir, Adria Media Group, has filed a lawsuit in the Commercial Court in Belgrade against publishers of independent portals Cenzolovka, Raskrikavanje, and Javni Servis, as well as against a publisher of daily Danas, and non-governmental organization Centar za Interkulturnu Komunikaciju and is asking damages of 11 million Dinars, or close to 100 000 Euros, claiming reputational damage.

The plaintiff has selected Commercial Court, which seldom hears cases against media on the basis that “the subject of this dispute is the determination of acts of unfair competition and damages in connection with it.” Adria Media Group is seeking damages for the article published by portal Raskrinkavanje.rs on 7th April 2021, titled Front pages of five newspapers featured close to 1.200 fake or unreliable News in 2020, which was later republished by the defendants.
