At the same time, 41.5 percent of those who identified themselves as the supporters of the coalition of the opposition parties also read Dnevnik. Out of the supporters of the Liberal Party, the Democratic Alliance, and the VMRO-True, 38.9%, 50.0% and 36.8% respectively stated that they most frequently get their information about political events from Dnevnik.
