He and his hooligan group are well known to Serbian public, since they have been the main topic in all domestic media for the past several weeks, from the day they were arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Media headlines are now saying that KRIK is \u201c<em>tied to Belivuk<\/em>\u201d, that we are \u201c<em>Belivuk\u2019s private media<\/em>\u201d and that we have been \u201c<em>working with criminals and their associates to endanger President Vucic and his family<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0You can imagine how these obnoxious lies are directly affecting our safety as we are not sure what to expect \u2013 from physical attacks to even arrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This campaign is ongoing \u2013\u00a0it is being broadcasted constantly on the most popular television station in Serbia, TV Pink, and even some\u00a0members of the ruling SNS party have joined in. First one was Vladimir Orlic, one of the party&#8217;s chief officials, who is publicly smearing us on his Twitter profile and others politicians are following his example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must point out the abnormality and irony of this situation \u2013 KRIK was among the few investigative Serbian media which have been reporting about crimes of Belivuk and his associates during the previous years. This hooligan group was \u201cforbidden\u201d topic in the pro-government media just until recently because of the strong ties connecting members of this group with Serbian police and government representatives \u2013 ties that were discovered and reported by KRIK.\u00a0We were the only ones who wrote<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.krik.rs\/?s=belivuk\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0many investigative stories<\/a>, explaining and documenting different ways of how the state was protecting members of that group and cooperating with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just a few days ago we published another<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.krik.rs\/vuletic-o-partizanu-kumovske-svade-pravi-sefovi-huligana-i-uticaj-politike\/\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;exclusive interview<\/a>, discovering how one part of this group was working under control of Novak Nedic, Secretary General of the Serbian Government and close associate of Aleksandar Vucic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week\u2019s developments therefore can be seen as revenge and retribution for our discoveries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several pro-government media in Serbia have yesterday launched another vicious smear campaign against KRIK.
