On the frontline of the defense of the regime of Aleksandar Vučić, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, criticizes the coverage of the "blockade-tycoon media" on the arrest of suspects for preparing assassinations of the President of Serbia. It "crossed all the boundaries of normal and decent", she exclaimed

In the country where the president is Aleksandar Vučić at the same time, the institution and destiny, the news that in Kraljev the arrest of four people suspected of planning his liquidation came as a catchphrase for prominent representatives of the progressive regime to entangle themselves in the media frenzy that reigns in Serbia by reporting on media that they do not like.

According to the information provided by the MUP, the police detained four people on suspicion of planning to assassinate the President of Serbia and members of his family. There is talk of operational knowledge of the security services, seized weapons and "serious intentions".

Before the public gathered and the institutions provided additional information, the first line of defense was set up and criticism of the way the mainstream media reported on this began.

The President of the National Assembly is leading in this.

"Great Vezirka" Ana Brnabić

In the style of a "grand vizier", on the first line of defense of President Aleksandar Vučić, as he described her The truth meter in analysis about the government's communication strategy with Vučić at the center, Ana Brnabić questioned some of the media and the way they reported on the news about the arrest of suspects for preparing the assassination of the president.

She explained, as a guest on Pink TV, that the real problem is neither the suspects, nor the weapons, nor the possible assassination plan, but the media that reported on it.

"The reporting of the blockade-tycoon media crossed all the boundaries of normal and decent," said Brnabić, specifying that it was particularly scandalous that certain headlines contained a question mark.

Because, as she explained, it is inadmissible for the question "planned to assassinate the president?" to appear in the title, while when the words of the lawyers of the suspects are conveyed, a question mark is not used with the wording "intimidation of the blockaders".

Brnabić assessed that such reporting is a continuation of the campaign of "dehumanization of the president", which, in her words, could lead to someone "really picking up a gun".

In other words, if someone is planning an assassination, the narrative is to blame.

Action to arrest suspects for attacking the constitutional order

DR (1975) and MR (1983) were arrested in Kraljevo due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that they had committed the crime of preparation acts against the constitutional order and security of Serbia, announced from the MUP. Both of them are suspected of arranging a violent change in the constitutional order of the Republic of Serbia and the overthrow of the highest state authorities in the period from December 2025 to February 2026.

The arrest was made by members of the Criminal Police Directorate (UKP), headed by Marko Krichak, the former commander of the JZO.

The alleged assassins were colluding, the MUP officially claims, the acquisition of weapons and an attack on the life and body of the President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, his wife and children, in such a way that they would be deprived of their lives, as well as an attack on members of the MUP of the Republic of Serbia, in such a way that the MUP would  caused bodily harm.

According to the MUP, the action was carried out in cooperation with members of the Security and Information Agency, and was engaged by the Criminal Police Directorate - Crime Suppression Service and police officers of the Kraljevo Police Department. The MUP also attached a video of the arrest.

On Tuesday morning, the news about another alleged preparation of the assassination of the President of the Republic finished in 11th place on the RTS portal, on Euronews Serbia was third in order, and even the "Novosti" portal did not put it on the top of the front page. The Vojvodina Radio-television portal rated that another piece of news about the planned assassination of the President of Serbia deserves the 3rd place.

Vučić's billboards and reality

There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.
