The Ministry of the Interior (MUP) has clearly denied claims that it requested the Military Security Agency (VSOA) to conduct an investigation to discover who is leaking confidential information to the media regarding the flights of President Zoran Milanović. According to information from MUP, the Directorate for Special Security Affairs, which is responsible for the security and protection of protected persons, did not contact VSOA, but instead, it informed the Security and Intelligence Agency (SOA) after data on the approximate time and route of the transport of protected persons began to circulate on social networks and in the public.

This situation has raised concerns within MUP due to the potential compromise of the security measures for the President of the Republic, which is why a threat assessment and security intelligence were requested from SOA. MUP emphasized that it is not authorized nor has it requested VSOA to conduct an investigation, as their jurisdiction is limited to military security, while this is a civilian matter.

It is important to point out that the author of the article, which made the incorrect claims, did not contact MUP to verify the information before publishing it. A similar mistake was made by other media outlets that published this incorrect information, including Večernji list, which also stated that MUP asked VSOA to investigate who is leaking confidential information about the President's flights. MUP urges journalists and media houses to verify the accuracy of information with relevant institutions before publishing it in the future, to avoid spreading misinformation and to maintain public trust.

This situation has again drawn attention to the security challenges faced by state institutions when it comes to protecting protected persons, but also to the importance of responsible and professional journalism. While information about security measures is often sensitive, irresponsible public disclosure of such information can have serious consequences. MUP, therefore, emphasizes that all relevant security agencies are fully involved in the protection of the highest state officials, and that mutual cooperation and coordination are crucial for the successful execution of these tasks.

This situation comes at a time when trust in security institutions is of paramount importance, and responsible informing of the public is becoming an increasingly significant challenge in the era of fast-spreading information via the internet and social networks. MUP, therefore, once again calls on all media to adhere to professional standards and to verify information before releasing it to the public.

Political desk

The political desk shapes its content with the belief that responsible writing and a solid understanding of social processes hold essential value in the public sphere. For years, we have been analyzing political events, monitoring changes that affect citizens, and reflecting on the relationships between institutions, individuals, and the international community. Our approach is based on experience gained through long-term work in journalism and direct observation of political scenes in different countries and systems.

In our editorial work, we emphasize context, because we know that politics is never just the news of the day. Behind every move, statement, or decision are circumstances that define its true significance, and our task is to bring readers closer to the background and intentions that are not visible at first glance. In our articles, we strive to build a vivid picture of society – its tensions, ambitions, problems, and those moments when opportunities for change arise.

Over the years, we have learned that political reporting is not reduced to retelling conferences and press releases. It requires patience, observation, and a willingness to compare various sources, assess credibility, recognize patterns of behavior, and find meaning in actions that sometimes seem contradictory. To achieve this, we rely on experience gained through long-term work with public institutions, civil society organizations, analysts, and individuals who shape political reality through their activities.

Our writing stems from personal fieldwork: from conventions, protests, parliamentary sessions, international forums, and conversations with people who experience politics from within. These encounters shape texts in which we strive to be clear, precise, and fair, without dramatizing and without deviating from facts. We want the reader to feel informed, not overwhelmed, and to receive a picture that enables them to independently assess what a given decision means for their everyday life.

The political desk believes in the importance of open and responsible journalism. In a world full of quick reactions and sensationalism, we choose diligent, long-term work on texts that offer a broader perspective. It is a slower path, but the only one that ensures content that is thorough, credible, and in the service of the reader. Our approach has grown from decades of experience and the conviction that an informed citizen is the strongest guardian of democratic processes.

That is why our publications do not merely follow the daily news cycle. They seek to understand what political events truly mean, where they lead, and how they fit into the broader picture of international relations. We write with respect for the reader and with the awareness that politics is not an isolated field, but a space where economy, culture, identity, security, and the individual life of each person intersect.
