Evening News

The early years

The founder of the newspaper is Slobodan Glumats, the first issue was released on October 16, 1953 . The motto of the newspaper was the phrase “Quickly, Shortly and Clearly” ( Serb. Brzo, briefly, ј но но ), which together with a large network of journalists made the newspaper the most popular in the SFRY.

In the 1980s, Novosti became known after it published a dossier of the Yugoslav State Commission, which contained evidence of the involvement of UN Secretary General and President Kurt Waldheim of Austria in the Nazi war crimes in Yugoslavia. A document called F-22572 of November 17, 1947 became the main written evidence.

In September 1986, the newspaper published fragments of the Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts ^[3] .

Yugoslav Wars

In the 1990s, the Vecherye Novosti newspaper actually became the official mouthpiece of the authorities of Slobodan Milosevic , which increased its circulation. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper was Dusan Tsukich. However, the newspaper noted a number of scandals. So, once she gave out one of the paintings of Uros Predic for a photograph of a murdered Serbian boy (since this photo was printed in black and white, it was quite difficult to verify the authenticity) ^[4] . On September 21, 2000 , the newspaper published a photograph of a rally in Beran in support of Slobodan Milosevic, in which the people and trees on the left and right were absolutely no different from each other. Foreign media proved the fact of photomontage, saying that there were 15 thousand people at the rally against 100 thousand mentioned in the newspaper ^[5] .

Our days

On February 4, 2006, former basketball player Vlada Divac expressed his desire to contribute to the charter capital of Novosti and try to acquire about half of the shares, but decided to wait until all litigation with the newspaper ended ^{[6] [7]} . Interest in the newspaper was also shown by two media conglomerates - WAZ-Mediengruppe and Northcliffe Media ( Daily Mail and General Trust ), who wanted to acquire their share of the shares ^[8]

Currently, 30% of the newspaper’s shares are owned by the Government of Serbia, 70% are owned by small enterprises and shareholders. The Novosti company publishes 12 daily and weekly newspapers, and also owns a radio station of the same name.
