Nebojša Vukanović claims travel blogger Robert Dacešin took public money for political promotion

Nebojša Vukanović, leader of the Lista za pravdu i red, published a blog post alleging that prominent Bosnian travel blogger Robert Dacešin used his popularity to earn large sums from corrupt politicians, saying Dacešin received about half a million convertible marks to promote them.

Dacešin replied with an open letter on Instagram, refuting the claim. He explained that the City of Banja Luka allocated only 3,000 KM to his 11‑day promotional project that brought eleven well‑known bloggers to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dacečin detailed that his tourism agency generated 524,674 KM in revenue, and that the promotional tour actually left him in a financial deficit after covering accommodation and expenses. He insisted that no large payment from politicians was received.

Both parties exchanged accusations and defenses, focusing on the funding and motives behind the Banja Luka tourism initiative.
