On the eve of the European Union – Western Balkans summit, an Air Serbia plane with 87 Serbian citizens landed at the airport in Tivat. After some detention at the airport, they were deported back to Serbia. The editor-in-chief of Informer, Dragan J. Vučićević, stated that at the airport in Tivat, there were women and children among the mentioned Serbian citizens, which turned out to be incorrect.
The Police Administration of Montenegro and the National Security Agency announced that their officers had collected “operational and intelligence data that unequivocally indicate that these are persons whose presence on the territory of Montenegro would pose a risk to internal and national security, in terms of the provisions of the Law on Foreigners.” They added that these are persons who attended numerous public gatherings of “high security risk”, and that some of them have already been registered for committing criminal acts and misdemeanors.
In this regard, Vučićević, in Informer’s informative show “Srpski dnevnik”, stated the untruth that people from the charter flight at the Tivat airport were “harassed by anti-Serb, ustasha-milogorian cattle”, as he points out, “without any legal basis”. Article 10 of the Montenegrin Law on Foreigners explicitly states that foreigners “will be restricted or prohibited from moving in a certain area in Montenegro if this is required by reasons of national, internal security, or public health, in accordance with the law.”
Not long after the information reached the public, a list with the names of all the passengers was published. Contrary to what Vučićević said, and what another participant of Informer’s “College” also suggested, there is not a single female name on it.
Thanks to certain media, organizations and activists, the identity of several persons from the list is already known to the public. These are men who previously verbally and/or physically attacked demonstrators at gatherings after the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, and some of them were also photographed in the tent settlement in front of the National Assembly, the so-called “Ćaciland”.
In the end, it seems that Vučićević himself realized the extent to which this theory is meaningless, given that it did not appear later on the portal or in the printed edition of Informer.
