"It seems to me that my intellectual and moral plateau is not adequate for the position I am taking there," said deputy and vice-president of the People's Party Siniša Kovačević, when he resigned from the position of member and president of the Committee for Culture and Information.
He said that he was faced with absolute disagreement with the adopted REM report, which he said was inaccurate, tendentious, unprofessional, inconsistent, and he added that he was not, by overvoting, enabled to speak and report on the topics that were on the agenda of the board, he conveyed N1.

The REM report points to moral responsibility
REM's report did not mention the reasons for the genesis and growth of violence, there was not even a hint of self-criticism, pointing to possible moral and political responsibility, on the contrary, it was a report full of self-praise and self-satisfaction, he added.
He said that REM members were there to ask them how many warnings, fines, and how many times they intervened to save the dignity of the media and their consumers.
"I think that REM members are not aware of their moral and historical responsibilities, I believe that they are not even aware of how much burden they have put on weak shoulders. The height of the democratic horizon and the limits of the omnipotence of one man, whoever he may be, depend on them. "They gradually turned into obedient collaborators of the authorities," he said.
Criticism directed at Nebojša Bakarec
As he says, he has no objections to the elaborations by which the national frequencies were obtained, stating that they are correct, but that the problem is that those elaborations are absolutely not respected, while REM's reaction is absent. The public's attempt to point that out is declared an attack on REM, he said.
He assessed that "no president in the modern era has ever loved and abused the very media that REM should control." This REM does not know how to do that, he emphasized.
He spoke harshly and with a lot of criticism about the manner of presentation of Nebojsa Bakarec, who presented the report in the Serbian Parliament, since Kovačević refused to do so.
Warning of an alarming situation
Let's remind you, Siniša Kovačević said in the middle of this month in an interview for "Vreme" that the fact that REM defends reality programs, and that "this other, more numerous side of the Committee for Culture" which accepted REM's report, does not see any problem is the reason for a big alarm.
"I really believe and think that these people should leave, in order to calm all these tensions and in order to have certain political and moral responsibilities," Kovačević said.
