Le Figaro’s Serbian correspondent claims French paper ending cooperation over critical reporting on Belgrade authorities

„A few years ago, I asked colleagues how free they were to write whatever they wanted. They told me there are some boundaries. One of them is that in countries where ‘Rafales’ are sold, there shouldn’t be too much criticism. When Vucic, or rather Serbia, bought the ‘Rafales’, that news was written affirmatively by the deputy editor-in-chief. In the sense that in this way, Serbia is moving closer to the West. And that was it. It was never a rule that one could not report critically about a country buying ‘Rafales’. This is now simply too much,“ assesses Milica Cubrilo Filipovic.
