Pravda (Serbian Cyrillic: Правда, which means "Justice") was a daily tabloid newspaper published in Belgrade, Serbia.
Pravda was published by Pravda Press, a limited liability company with Nemanja Stefanović (48%), Jugoslav Petković (47%), and Nikola Petrović (5%) listed as its owners. Nemanja Stefanović's brother is Nebojša Stefanović, a Serbian Radical Party (SRS) and later Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) official.
Pravda's first issue appeared on 5 March 2007, some month and a half after the 2007 Serbian parliamentary election where the most popular political party in Serbia at the time, the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) led by Vojislav Šešelj who was being held in the dock at the Hague since 2003, once again got the most seats (81 out of 250). Still, despite yet another impressive election showing, SRS had trouble forming a government due to being faced with a situation where no other party wanted to enter into a coalition with them.
Within days of the premiere issue, Predrag Popović, who previously edited Nacional, became Pravda's editor-in-chief. Popović would later reveal that he was hired by Aleksandar Vučić, SRS high-ranking official at the time, who according to Popović was behind the paper throughout its run.[1]

It generally espoused rightist political views and promoted the SRS political agenda. Pravda created minor controversy in Serbia when in November 2007 it started publishing irregular columns by Mira Marković, the wife of late Serbian and Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević and herself a fugitive from the Serbian justice system.
In August 2009, it has been accused by liberal Serbian politician Čedomir Jovanović of being a puppet for the Serbian Progressive Party.[citation needed]
The paper's 1 June 2012 issue was announced to be its last as the newspaper folded. It switched to an all-digital online format.[2]
