Affiliated Interests Ceo
Was a civil society activist before being elected general director of Radio Television Montenegro. A dispute, followed by a civil lawsuit resulted in the decision of the court in Podgorica reaching the verdict that Raonić's election was unlawful. The Higher court has confirmed this decision.
The court has deliberated based on the lawsuit of journalist Nikola Marković, who was also a candidate for the position of General director. The complaint was based on the fact that Raonić shouldn’t have been elected because he was, at the time, in a conflict of interest, being the member of the Council for Electronic Media, appointed by the Parliament, which was in collision with the law on Radio Television Montenegro.
Many civil society organizations were pointing out the unlawfulness of the election of Raonić. However, the Council again, expressly appointed Raonić, despite the Court ruling.
