Serbia's President Aleksandar Vučić was upset for originally not being invited for the talks with the delegation of the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) during its visit to Belgrade. Upon intervention from his cabinet, the meeting was arranged: Vučić saw it as an opportunity to personally explain the state of media and freedom of expression in the country and particularly to present himself as a victim of national media. However, according to what the delegation stated, EFJ had not been especially impressed by claims about media threats to the Chief of State.
