ANEM demands that all journalists who wish to cover the protests in Serbia be granted entry into the country and allowed to carry out their journalistic work without hindrance.
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) was informed during the day that at least two journalistic teams from the Republic of Croatia were denied entry into the Republic of Serbia. The decision by the border authorities was based on the preliminary assessment of the duty police officer at the border that the Croatian colleagues could pose a security risk while carrying out their journalistic work in Serbia.
ANEM: Reassess the criteria of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications in the candidate scoring process for members of competition committees for project co-financing.
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) points out numerous inconsistencies in the final ranking list of candidates from the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications for members of the selection committees for co-financing projects in the field of public information.

The Law on Public Information and Media strictly stipulates that all calls for project co-financing must be announced by March 1 of the calendar year.
Impunity for attacks on journalists encourages attackers.
