notes
Address: 8 Vlajkoviceva Street, Belgrade — SAME ADDRESS as Kurir/Mondo INC. Ana Aleksic (WMG management board, CEO WMG Media) chairs foundation board. Jadranka Radonjic (WMG CFO) board member. Irena Petrovic (WMG executive) foundation director. EUpravo Zato portal hosted at eupravozato.mondo.rs — MONDO domain (Mondo INC = Kurir publisher). ANALYTICAL CATEGORY NOTE: Not a GONGO in the classic sense — does not pretend to be independent civil society. It is a corporate foundation performing civil society functions in EU accession space with institutional EU endorsement, while the parent company is commercially linked to state-captured media. Functions as EU accession narrative capture: regime-adjacent actor occupying the pro-EU civil society space, receiving EU legitimization, while independent civil society EU monitoring is attacked as foreign-directed obstruction by the same corporate group via Kurir. This is the GONGO logic applied to media and EU accession narrative — displacement of independent function rather than frontal attack.
