If it’s true, as a journalist insisted, that “A Day with the Prime Minister” is about a “usual working day,” one has to wonder whether TV Prva, using national channel, is trying to say that the Prime Minister really solves every problem in Serbia every single day.
While the prime minister extends his hand of reconciliation to the Bosniaks, the media he controls refer to them as butchers, killers and extremists.
