Serbia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) has refuted statements made by Vojkan Kostić, the editor of news agency Beta. Kostić was questioned by authorities earlier today in an informational interview. The ministry characterized Kostić’s claims as “malicious and inaccurate” without providing specific details regarding the nature of those claims. This denial follows a period of heightened tensions between the government and independent media outlets in Serbia. The MUP statement represents the official response to Kostić’s assertions, which remain undisclosed to the public. Further details regarding the subject of the informational interview and the disputed claims are currently unavailable. The incident raises concerns about press freedom and the relationship between the state and independent journalism in the country.
