United Group has announced that it has agreed to sell media businesses operating under the Adria News Network label – which includes Vijesti in #Montenegro – to a third party. This attempted transaction threatens media independence and is neither settled nor done. The ownership of Vijesti cannot be changed without compliance with legal, regulatory and contractual rights of its founders and co-owners, who hold 49% of the shares. “We have defended Vijesti before, and we are ready to defend it again, however long the fight.” Read the full statement of MDIF and the Montenegrin founders and co-owners of Vijesti 👇 https://lnkd.in/dGaRc6nR
