Affiliated Interests Founder
Was the editor-in-chief of the daily Kurir until the end of 2015. That year, the Kurir tried to take over the management of the daily Politika, which led to conflicts with the government and the Serbian Progressive Party.
In November 2015, the famous front page of the Kurir "Serbia, Sorry" was published, as an introduction to an article by the then owner of the Kurir, Aleksandar Rodić, in which he apologizes to the citizens of Serbia for, as he states, being forced to be part of Aleksandar Vucic's propaganda team. This conflict between Rodić and Vucic lasted several months, with mutual accusations and war with the pro-government media. Lađević was even questioned by the police, which was presented by the Kurir as pressure on them and an attack on free speech. A few weeks later, Lađević was removed from his position as editor of Kurir, and in January 2016 he founded the Media Network, a company that publishes Srpski telegraf. Kurir soon returned to its usual editorial policy. Prior to Kurir, Lađević worked as an editor in the daily Blic.
Passed away in June 2022. He was a businessman who, in addition to the media, also had a company for trade in wood and building materials.
Is a lawyer from Belgrade. He worked in a law firm whose partner was Igor Isailović, a lawyer of the former mayor of Belgrade, and now the minister of finance, Siniša Mali. Also, Isailović is a business partner of Prime Minister Ana Brnabić.
