Announcements

Unknown individuals early this morning pelted the entrance of the OzonPress and Čačanske novine editorial offices with eggs. The incident has been reported to the police, and as Stojan Marković, the owner of these Čačanske media outlets, stated to ANEM, a patrol arrived at the scene, took statements, and prepared a report.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs apprehended J.P. yesterday, suspected of having attacked journalist Nataša Mijušković from Insider television on November 2nd in the tent settlement in front of the National Assembly of Serbia. He has been placed in custody for 48 hours for the criminal offense of "Coercion" as per Article 135, Paragraph 2 in connection with Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns the dissemination of falsehoods about N1 television journalist Danica Vučenic on the Večernje Novosti portal, which directly targets this journalist and threatens her safety. It is additionally concerning that other media outlets and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić have joined this negative campaign.

The Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) and the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemn the arrest of KTV journalist and columnist Aleksandar Dikić, which represents a blatant act of repression and intimidation against critical voices in Serbia.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) condemns in the strongest terms the verbal attack, insults, and threats received yesterday in Novi Pazar by Fahrudin Kladničanin, editor of the portal Hava.rs and director of the Academic Initiative Forum 10, which were also recorded in the official memorandum of the Novi Pazar Police Department.

The B92 Fund, the Association of Independent Electronic Media, and the Serbian Philanthropic Forum stand in solidarity with the unwavering collective of the First Niš Gymnasium "Stevan Sremac" in the battle to preserve the school's reputation and dignity.

Despite the reactions, public condemnations, and appeals to the relevant authorities to respond to the threats to the safety of media workers in Serbia, the threats received by N1 television journalist Mladen Savatović and the authors of the show "Dobar loš zao," as well as the columnists of Danas, Marko Vidojković and Nenad Kulačin, continue day after day.

Brankica Stanković was assigned 24-hour security by the Ministry of the Interior at that time, based on security assessments, which she had for many years. Her safety was threatened due to the series “(In)ability of the State” about hooligans. After several years of absence, in the last year and a half, chanting against Brankica Stanković at Partizan's matches has become regular, occurring at least once or twice a month. In addition to thousands of fans in the arena, the lyrics of threatening, offensive, and misogynistic songs can be heard by tens and hundreds of thousands of viewers through television broadcasts and the internet. No report to the prosecutor's office has led to arrests, detentions, or court rulings.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) calls on the relevant authorities to urgently identify and sanction those responsible for the bomb threat reported two days ago in the building housing the editorial office of Kurir and the portals Mondo and Espreso.
