Journalist Veran Matić has been a media constant in Serbia for over four decades, both as a journalist and as a representative of professional associations. He is currently the President of the Board of the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) and is also one of its founders. He serves as the director of Samizdat and the editor-in-chief of the portal javniservis.net, and he leads the humanitarian foundation Fond B92. To ensure that the case of the comedian is not an isolated incident, it is worth mentioning that the television network he co-founded and partially owns, B92, aired the documentary "Evil Age" by the Center for Social Stability at the end of January, in which Matić was targeted similarly to how Slavko Ćuruvija was before his murder in 1999 and Oliver Ivanović was a few years ago. A literal target was drawn on him, and in addition to B92, "Evil Age" was also broadcast on TV Prva and the most influential cable television, Informer, thereby inundating Serbia with a fabricated story about an old "domestic traitor" and a "foreign mercenary."
