Minister Vulin: Ćulibrk lied that the state is buying newspapers to distribute to patients at the Fair




"A lie is ugly and when it is said to hurt and humiliate, it becomes dangerous. The Editor-in-Chief of the NIN magazine used last night's appearance in one of the political shows to attack me, which is normal, to attack other newsrooms, which is not normal, but is expected, because he does not consider journalists anyone else other than his own and a few other newsrooms that share the same exciting hatred of Vučić, and to aggravate the state's fight against the coronavirus, which is not normal and is not expected“.

- Ćulibrk lied that the state is buying newspapers to distribute to patients at the Fair. The newrooms that helped their country and Covid patients are supposed to explain now that they did not charge anything, that they have costs rather than profit, and instead of gratitude they receive accusations and suspicion - said Minister Vulin.

"I thank everyone who helped the state of Serbia to make the difficult days of fighting the virus easier. I want to thank Informer, Kurir, Večernje novosti, Politika, Srpski telegraf, Alo Daily News, and Ekspres, Cosmopolitan Serbia, National Geographic Serbia, Sensa, Men’s Health, Lepa i srećna, Gloria, Story, Hello, and Lepota i zdravlje magazines. The list of donors, including newspapers and magazines, was published on the Ministry of Defence's website on 2nd April, and Mr Ćulibrk will have an opportunity to apologize to all of them in court. Instead of being silent, those who have neither helped nor wanted to help speak now, and those who did help must justify themselves, and I quote the sentence that Mr Ćulibrk uttered in the aforementioned TV appearance "People, have we lost our minds?", Minister Vulin said.
