ANEM Alarm: Authorities urgently need to investigate the warnings received by the editor of Jugpress.
The chief and responsible editor of the Regional Information Agency JUGpress, Ljiljana Stojanović, who is also a member of the Permanent Working Group on Journalist Safety, received a friendly message/warning from a few individuals in security structures that they are "setting a trap" for her and that she should "be cautious."

ANEM Alarm: 14th incident at Pionirski Park, police to enable work for journalists.
A journalist from the Fonet agency was filming strong winds lifting tents set up on the road in front of the Serbian Parliament yesterday when a person staying in Pioneer Park grabbed her by the shoulder and demanded that she delete the footage. This marks the 14th instance of interference with the work of journalists and media at Pioneer Park, where a specific group supporting the ruling party has been present for over four months.

ANEM, UNS, NUNS, and Lokal Pres: Irregularities and Lack of Transparency in the Project Co-Financing Process
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), the Journalists' Association of Serbia (UNS), the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia (NUNS), and Local Press point out that the evaluation of media projects and the allocation of funds within the project co-financing process continued in June, accompanied by numerous controversial decisions, irregularities, and a lack of transparency in the process.

ANEM alarm: Police struck with a shield and seized the phone from journalist Vuk Cvijić.
During a police intervention in front of the Faculty of Law in Belgrade, and despite being legitimized, Vuk Cvijić, a journalist for the weekly magazine Radar, was struck with a shield and elbow and pushed away on the evening of Wednesday, July 2nd. His phone was taken from him, even though he did not interfere with the police intervention, as evidenced by a video recording.

ANEM: Obvious and documented physical attacks on journalists remain unpunished.
Another physical assault, the attack on cameraman Mirko Todorović from Juronjuz television, on November 5, 2024, in Novi Sad, will remain unpunished, as public prosecutor Sanja Skakavac from the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad dismissed the criminal complaint for violent behavior in a public place.

ANEM alarm: Immediately halt police brutality against media workers.
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly protests and demands that the Internal Control Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs determine who assaulted and tortured Aleksa Stanković, a student of the Faculty of Philosophy and a photographer for the website "Students in Blockade." Stanković was clearly marked as a media worker: he had a press ID and had insignias on three other places on his clothing indicating that he was on a journalistic assignment.

ANEM Alarm: Process all those who spread false news that journalists from N1 and Nova S are terrorists.
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) calls on the relevant institutions to prevent the spread of false and disturbing news and to prosecute all those who spread false information that journalists and editors of N1 and Nova S TV are terrorists.

ANEM: There must be accountability of the police for attacks on journalists and cameramen.
During the media coverage of two events organized on Vidovdan in Belgrade, as well as during the police intervention, journalists were attacked, beaten, injured, and prevented in various ways from performing their jobs professionally. Unfortunately, this has become a common behavior among representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as at every similar event, intervention units, particularly the gendarmerie, strike journalists and cameramen who are properly identifying themselves, without interfering with the police's work.

Unacceptable prevention of journalists and cameramen from covering the Vidovdan celebration in front of the National Assembly of Serbia.
During the commemoration of Vidovdan organized by the SNS in front of the Serbian National Assembly, we were once again able to confirm that this area is "forbidden" for journalistic teams from certain editorial offices. The team from Insajder television attempted to conduct a survey in the enclosed space but was prevented by an aggressive young man, a participant in the SNS gathering, who physically obstructed them from conducting the survey while threatening and insulting them, insisting that they leave the area, which the team from this editorial office had to comply with.
