Odaily Planet Daily reported that on August 29, French President Macron held a press conference during a diplomatic visit to Serbia. In a televised visit, he said that he had not invited Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov to visit the country and did not know that he had visited France. He then reiterated that Durov's case would be handled by "independent action of the French judicial system" and insisted that the decision to detain the tech entrepreneur was not political.
