Disinformation Campaign Targets Serbian Journalist: Moscow Victory Day Images Manipulated

Belgrade, Serbia – June 15, 2025 witnessed the release of a controversial video across pro-regime media outlets in Serbia. The video, which directly targets journalist Zeljko Veljkovic of TV Nova, is accused of manipulating images from Moscow's Victory Day parade to create a false narrative. The timing of the video's release, the day after a new 'journalistic' association was formed, raises concerns about potential coordinated disinformation campaigns against critical journalists. The video's analysis highlights specific instances of image manipulation, providing evidence for its claims. While the video itself is not neutral, its content provides valuable material for a balanced news report, examining both the video's accusations and the broader implications for media freedom and the fight against disinformation in Serbia.

Further investigation is needed to determine the full extent of the alleged disinformation campaign and its impact on public opinion.
