A Belgrade court has ruled against the Informer portal, finding that it violated the honor, reputation, and privacy rights of Lazar and Luka Stojaković. The ruling stems from the portal's false reporting and the publication of the brothers' passport information, as confirmed by their lawyer, Isa Spahović.

The court has ordered the defendants to pay the Stojaković brothers compensation for damages. Additionally, they must publish the introduction and the verdict of the court's decision. This marks the first ruling concerning the publication of passport details, while legal actions against other media outlets are still ongoing, according to Nova.rs.

Lawyer Isa Spahović stated that the lives of Lazar and Luka were irrevocably changed for the worse from the moment their passports were made public. He added that no court decision can entirely erase the consequences of such targeting in today's social and political climate.
