Activities

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.

While this protest was taking place, people were also gathering in Pioneer Park.
