Dušan Mitević

Who was Dušan Mitević?

Dušan Mitević was a Serbian journalist. From 1989 to 1991 he was director of Radio Television Belgrade, Serbia's public broadcaster, during the breakup of Yugoslavia and the ascent to power of Slobodan Milošević. He resigned from the post following the violent March 1991 Belgrade protests which had been organized by opposition parties against the increasingly propagandist content of state-controlled media.

Mitević made a statement about the nature of state media in Serbia under Milošević's guidance: "The things that happened at state TV: warmongering, things we can admit to now: false information, biased reporting. That went directly from Milošević to the head of TV".
