Social media

The media persistently quotes the fake Nestorović from the X network

News portals in Serbia persistently broadcast posts from the online account X, which allegedly belongs to Branimir Nestorović, although Nestorović himself denies being behind that account

After the protests on Sunday, which ended with the intervention of the police, several media reported the alleged statement of Dr Branimir Nestorović that we witnessed the "Maidan attempt".

"We can disagree with the government, but the state must not be destroyed at the behest of certain services." We will not allow a new October 5 in Serbia," wrote the @‌drBranimir account, which is followed by about 21.000 people on the X network.

That "statement" was reported by numerous media, such as FoNet, "Politika", "Večernje novosti" or "Nedeljnik".

Controversial doctor Nestorović, the biggest hit of the previous elections, who with his movement can be the deciding factor in the balance in Belgrade, has made similar statements several times these days.

So he told TV Informer that we were watching "Maidanization", that is, "an attempt to violently overthrow the government". He called for the media and crews "who do this" to be declared foreign agents and prosecuted.

Reported to the prosecutor's office

A day later, he told Sputnik that there was no Maidan, but "rehearsals" on the streets of Belgrade.

But he again denied that the account on social network X belonged to him.

"I have denied it multiple times and we have officially denied that it was my Twitter account." At the press conference, we handed out a paper where we explicitly stated our Twitter accounts, both personal and movement," he told the Russian media.

"You yourself know how it looks on the networks. Just like I can't deal with dozens of false advertisements for some miraculous preparations that I advertise. I reported it to both the police and the Prosecutor's Office for High-Tech Crime. It is almost impossible to eradicate. And then you come to terms with the fact that it happens that way," Nestorović said.

He "takes off" Nestorović well

True, even if it has nothing to do with him, the @‌drBranimir account closely follows Nestorović's moves and promotes his every interview and statement. But, apparently, he himself makes statements that are not exactly given in that way.

Such a practice is nothing new on social networks. Many profiles on Facebook or Twitter are made for people who are popular with the public, whose statements and quotes are shared and transmitted. Earlier, for example, the historian Milan St. Protic denied having a Twitter account.

Thus, the false Nestorović, with the help of the media, adds even more confusion to the already confusing statements from the camp of this doctor. They are postponing the decision whether they will give the majority to the Progressives in Belgrade, while the public is speculating whether it is all just a show directed by Aleksandar Vučić.

Earlier, Nestorović also spoke about the alleged "six-figure offers" to his councilors from some parties, but he did not mention SNS.

He added that those who defect to the other camp would be "idiots" because his movement will only grow.
