Not the full story

Plucky BBC News bodies are in Belgrade today, hosting a conference on fake news.

Serbia's not a bad place for the meeting; the country's tabloids are notorious for dodgy stories. But who's behind them ?  Earlier this month, most of the Serbian media quoted what they called a Financial Times story saying the Serbian economy is "moving forward fast". Turns out it was not in the FT, but fDi Magazine, a Financial Times publication, and the article was paid for by the Ministry of Finance, Serbia, the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and several local authority groups within Serbia.
