The antagonism reignited two years later during the Euro 2012 qualifying cycle. All throughout 2011, Savićević publicly expressed anger with "Dan"'s criticism of the national team head coach Zlatko Kranjčar, calling the publication a "Serbian-oriented paper that never has and never will accept Montenegro as an independent state". Savićević even returned to his old ways on 7 October 2011, for the Montenegro vs. England Euro 2012 qualifier, refusing to issue accreditation for "Dan". Because of this, a protest against Savićević was published in their pages. Then, a month later, for the deciding home leg playoff qualifier against Czech Republic, Savićević again did the same thing, which led to more critical coverage by the paper. On 17 November 2011, in the wake of the playoff loss to the Czechs, Savićević appeared on TV Vijesti's talk show "Načisto" where he was asked by the host Petar Komnenić about his problems with "Dan". Savićević's response was that "Dan" is an "unimportant media outlet" and that he prefers giving accreditation to "objective outlets". "Dan" responded with more pointed criticism of Savićević through sarcasm and ridicule, which led to Savićević scheduling a press conference on Saturday, 19 November 2011 at which he delivered more verbal vitriol towards the paper including a bizarre offer of subjecting himself to a drug test and paying out €2 million to "Dan" if the test results come in positive while asking for €500,000 from the paper if the test result is negative. "Dan" responded in the paper's next day issue with more veiled ridicule of Savićević.
