Members of the group Journalists Against Violence Against Women, Jovana Gligorijević and Ana Manojlović, held the third specialized training for female journalists and media workers in Inđija, at the offices of IN Media.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) is organizing the third specialized training for female journalists and media workers on safety not only in the field but also in newsrooms, online, and in other locations where journalists are threatened or attacked. This training will take place on Thursday, January 29, in Inđija.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) will, in the upcoming period, publish a digitized archive of the Commission for the Investigation of the Murders of Journalists Slavko Ćuruvija and Milan Pantić, as part of the project "System for the Prevention of Violence and Protection of Journalists," to inform the public about the details of the proceedings that have marked (not only) the journalism profession in Serbia over the past 20 years.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) organized a one-day free training on journalist safety for university teaching staff at the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, specifically for representatives of the Department of Communication and Journalism.

From the beginning of 2025, until November 30, a total of 117 cases have been formed in public prosecutors' offices related to threats and attacks on media workers, representing an increase of 112 percent compared to the same period last year, emphasized Branko Stamenković, prosecutor of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office and member of the Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists (SRG).

The threat received by Vuk Cvijić, a journalist from the weekly magazine Radar, has alarmed the public and the media community in Serbia, as well as international journalist and media associations and representatives of the diplomatic corps. 

A three-day training for journalist safety was held at the Radio-Television of Vojvodina (RTV) newsroom in Novi Sad, organized by the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM).

Six physical attacks in four minutes in Negotin, ten days ago, are just a part of the machinery of aggression and pressure against journalists in that city, as well as in Zaječar and Bor. Behind these camera-documented crimes, which always escalate during election periods, representatives of formal authorities and informal centers of power intimidate, humiliate, and insult them, and journalists have even been summoned for questioning by the Security Information Agency (BIA) due to their published articles.

On December 10th, a discussion on the safety of journalists in Zaječar, Negotin, and Bor was held at the House of Free Media in Zaječar. The event was organized by the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia (NUNS), and the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
