State-owned telecom attacking NGO EU monitoring function which launched EUpravo Zato initiative — conflict of interest in framing NGO EU accession monitoring as obstructive. Trigger: Brussels Forum on EU enlargement December 2025 and von der Leyen-Vucic dinner. Part of sustained Kurir campaign against Gradjanske inicijative and NKEU December 2025 - January 2026. Bojana Selaković individually named — add to actor registry.

excerpt
Kurir targets Bojana Selaković (coordinator National Convention on EU / NKEU) as domestic EU obstructer — frames her as paid to help Serbia toward EU but actively blocking progress. Uses McAllister (EP Committee on Foreign Affairs chair) Brussels Forum statement as framing device. Selaković framed as representing NGO elite with disproportionate unelected influence. Compares Serbia unfavorably to Albania — NGO obstructers absent in Albania enabling faster EU progress. Foreign-funded CSOs framed as paid to advance EU path but using that funding for political agitation against government.
