Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic said that he begged the editor of the tabloid “Informer”, Dragan Vucicevic, not to go to prison and that he told him that he would pay his fine, but that Vucicevic would not accept it because he was fighting for his principles.
„I can’t pay, even if I want to, his wife and defence attorneys can pay,“ said Vucic.
Vucic said that he will continue asking Vucicevic to try to avoid prison.
„There are many strange things in our judiciary and a lot of appeasement since they think they are permanent, and that politicians are temporary,” he said, adding that some media companies are never punished and some receive meaningless sentences.
