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 had, at the time, 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 organisations were pointing out the unlawfulness of the election of Raonić. However, the Council again expressly appointed Raonić despite the Court ruling.
Affiliated Interests Editor-In-Chief
A distinguished culture figure, who is also editor of film and series programs at RTCG. He regularly acts as jury member for various film festivals.

An agronomist by profession, worked in RTCG from 1996 to 2006. Later on she worked at Atlas TV, Pro TV and IN TV.
Tomašević was appointed by general director Boris Raonić to the position of the director of Television of Montenegro, despite her obvious conflict of interest. Namely, at the moment of her appointment, her brother was a public official, member of the State Election Commission, on behalf of the political group Democratic Front. According to the law, she could not be appointed due to that fact. She was dismissed based on the findings from the Administration for Inspection, after which Raonić appointed her back to the position, this time as acting director.
