Who Is Vladimir Vukovic And Why Is He Important?

Good morning! Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate! In the times of crisis, so many similarities emerge in a public space. One of them is Vladimir Vukovic, a hysterical Chetnik activist, who has all of a sudden become a journalist. Who and how they backed him to become it?

Who is Vladimir Vukovic and why is he important?

There are hundreds of interesting phenomena on the sidelines of social and political life in Montenegro. Many of them never become known to the general public, but for those of us who earn a living from following politics, they catch our eye on a daily basis. Some of them manage to break through with their persistence, extremism and primitivism. One of them has become the new Lazanski. But like Lazanski, so is Serbia and the Serbian regime today. A tragicomic copy of the 90s regime. But let’s get back to our and their Vukovic, who is making his way on the media scene of the Serbian World these days. I lost him from the radar a long time ago, ever since he bumped into Sofranac at the airport, when he was an employee of the Ministry of Education while Vesna Bratic was minister. And his talent was best demonstrated with the position they found for him – a special advisor for driving schools. Or something like that.

Then I came across him as the editor of the spitting website ‘Alo online’ for Montenegro. Alo is a Belgrade tabloid owned by businessman Sasa Blagojevic, who’s close to Vucic. Blagojevic bought the legendary Studio B from a German company for half a million euros and turned it into a propaganda magazine, similar to the way others did it with B92.

What Vucic did with the brands of the fight against Milosevic’s regime in the 1990s should be studied well. In addition to the mentioned media, it’s enough to look at former symbols of that fight, such as Cedomir Jovanovic, Branislav Lecic and the CESID team.

But let’s get back to Vukovic. Vukovic would have been fidgeting on the periphery of my perceptive apparatus if Dritan Abazovic and his informal advisor and friend Jelena Jovanovic had not given him a platform. They were worried about Vukovic, who’s allegedly being followed by the National Security Agency (ANB). Then I wanted to see how and who was following Vukovic and saw a paranoid video in which the police allegedly went out to save Vukovic from the service agent. Then I looked at his other posts where he appears as a provocateur who, as I understand it, organizes a march of people in Chetnik uniforms through Cetinje. They also spread misinformation about the Cetinje mass killing and the protests that followed, derisively calling it the “Massacre in Cettigne”.

Alo online is just one of Serbia’s propaganda tools in small Montenegro. Marginalni Pogled, Zurnal, 083, the Adrija TV network and Prva TV, influential portals Borba and IN4S, Srpska TV, Srpski Radio, Svetigora, Press. Various Telegram channels and Facebook troll pages. Someone should really list all these means of the Russian-Serbian influence that promote and support narratives of the Serbian regime and narratives depicting the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a positive light.

I don’t say they should be banned, but the sources of funding should be revealed. The Press portal, which was run and owned by Otasevic who now runs the Podgorica public broadcaster, no longer has an imprint, but the ruling Europe Now Movement is advertised on it. For example.

 

That’s all for today. All the best!
