satirical portal accuses prime minister of confusing Podgorica with Pristina

TNR is asking for 1 RON (Romanian wave: 1 RON = 0.22 Euro) damages. The move comes as retaliation for the indictment Dancila has filed against this portal, demanding 100,000 Euro damages after having published a satirical article that he called a thick “from the mind”.

The announcement was made by the editor-in-chief of the portal, Calin Petrar. “After the Pristina incident, Podgorica (recognition of editorials): During a visit to Montenegro, the Romanian prime minister confused Podgorica capital with Kosovo's capital, Pristina), influenced by the logic and advice of my lawyer, Radu Sora, I have also decided to sue Viorica Dancilan<1>, Petrar has said.

According to him, the Romanian prime minister has damaged the country's image for 10 years. And by contrast, the article has been on the site for just two days.

This is happening when Viorica Dancila is looking for me and my colleagues at New Roman' 100,000 Euro because we called him stupid in an article. I want to explain that I didn't want to enter into such conflict; it's just a reaction to Viorica Dancilas' absurd request. It's not only revolting, but completely kafkeske (referring author Franz Kafka) to Viorica Dancila to ask me for 100,000 Euros for an article that has been on the Internet for only two days, while she has been damaging my image as Romanian since January 21st 2009 as MP, while on January 29, 2018, as Romania's prime minister”, Calin Petrar has said.
