The head of the Serbian Government’s CommunicationsBureau, Vladimir Popović, has filed a suit with the First Municipal Court in Belgrade, seeking two million dinars in compensation from the Humanitarian Law Center and B92 Radio-Television. Popović claims that B92 broadcast “false information” from the Humanitarian Law Center on April 24, 2003, namely, that the Serbian Government, via the head of its Communications Bureau, was exerting pressure on the media and journalists on a daily basis during the state of emergency.
