This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. regarding a reader's comment published under the text on Portal Analitika: "Đenero: Montenegro needs a quick reconstruction of the parliamentary majority", published on January 5, 2026.
The reader complaints that Portal Analitika is declaratively profiled as a sovereignist and pro-European media, but that readers’ comments containing speech of intolerance call to violence, and messages that exceed the limits of permitted freedom of expression have been published.
As an example, the complainant cites the comment under the text "Đenero: Montenegro needs a quick reconstruction of the parliamentary majority", where the user "Tito_neregistrovani" published the comment on January 5, 2026 at 06:29: "There is a need for the reconstruction of Croatia, which never existed. Let Hungary, Italy, Serbia and Montenegro reconstruct Istria, Dalmatia, Slavonia and Baranja."
In the complaint, the reader questions whether this way of editing readers' comments is in accordance with the written and unwritten rules of the Media Council for Self-Regulation, as well as with the basic principles of common sense. The reader also raises the question of where are the limits of freedom of expression, pointing to the possibility that by publishing such comments, in order to increase the number of visits and clicks, ethical, moral and democratic norms are neglected, which, according to the complaint, contributes to the collapse of professional standards and social responsibility of the media.
Acting on the complaint, the Media Council for Self-Regulation contacted Portal Analitika and requested a statement regarding the allegations in the complaint.
In the statement signed by the editor-in-chief of Portal Analitika, Rosanda Mučalica, it is stated that she is grateful for pointing out the content of controversial comments published under the texts on the portal.
In the statement, it is stated that it was an error in the moderation of the comments, and that the controversial comments were removed immediately after they were noticed. The editor points out that the comments referred to exceed the limits of permitted freedom of expression and are not in accordance with the professional and ethical standards that Portal Analitika fosters.
It is further stated that, in order to prevent similar situations in the future, the editorial office would further improve the practice of comments moderation, and will strictly react to any form of intolerance, discrimination or content that may encourage hate speech.
The Media Council informed the complainant about the response of the editorial office of Portal Analitika, and since the complainant did not request further processing of the complaint after this, we concluded that the moderation was successfully implemented.
At the session of the Complaints Commission of the Media Council for Self-Regulation, after the presentation of all the facts of this complaint, it was concluded that the mediation was successfully conducted in this case.
Given the above, the Complaints Commission did not consider this appeal further.
