Twenty-five years since the murder of journalist Milan Pantić was commemorated today in Jagodina with the laying of flowers at the memorial plaque and monument in Jagodina.

The safety of journalists during election periods is a matter of paramount importance, as the role of the media is very significant when reporting on democratic processes in a country. This was concluded at the event "Democratic Shield: Media Freedom and Journalist Safety During Elections," organized by the OSCE Mission in Serbia and the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) as part of a project supported by the European Union.

Project co-financing of media content in Serbia has become a meaningless process in which funds are allocated only to a limited number of media outlets and non-governmental organizations. Participants in a two-day discussion on project co-financing of media, organized by the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), agreed that the members of the committees evaluating projects lack sufficient expertise and that the system for scoring media professionals is inadequate. Representatives from 40 local media outlets participated in the discussion.

A hybrid war against the media is underway. Initially, there were drastic threats, followed by violence directed at the media and journalists, as well as escalating digital violence. Security issues in Serbia are currently very complex, emphasized Veran Matić, president of the Board of Directors of the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), a member of the Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists and an operator on the Safe Line for Journalists 0800 100 115, during a discussion as part of a training session for journalist safety.

A training session on journalist safety was held by the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) for journalists and collaborators of the Požarevac media outlet Boom93.

A two-day training for journalist safety for Belgrade newsrooms was held by the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM).

We invite colleagues, citizens, and residents to gather in front of the N1 television editorial office in New Belgrade on Tuesday, April 14th, at 7:30 PM, to collectively show solidarity with the journalists of this media outlet.
