The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) expresses concern over the new threats directed at television N1 on the social network X and journalist Mladen Savatović. It calls on the relevant authorities to urgently identify the perpetrators and send a clear message that such cases must be addressed to prevent them from continuing.

Today at 4:10 PM, Vuk Cvijić, a journalist for the weekly magazine Radar, received a call from an unknown number from abroad. In a brief conversation, he was given a direct threatening warning regarding an article that will be published tomorrow in the new issue of this weekly magazine.

In last night's appearance on the news program of Radio-Television of Serbia, President Aleksandar Vučić expressed views that can be characterized as unlawful interference in the process of selecting members of the REM Council and its future operations, according to the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), which is the authorized proposer of candidates for the REM Council.

After receiving several threats over the weekend via Facebook accounts, Marko Vidojković and Nenad Kulačin also received a threat directed at them and their guests on the YouTube account of the show "Good, Bad, Evil."

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) calls on representatives of the police not to obstruct the work of journalists reporting in front of the National Assembly of Serbia and to allow the media to safely carry out their work from that public space.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns the behavior of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić towards N1 television journalist Mladen Savatović and reminds the President and all other state officials that they should be aware of the words they speak in public and the potential consequences those words may have.

The authors of the show "Dobar loš zao" and columnists for the newspaper Danas, Marko Vidojković and Nenad Kulačin, are among the media workers who have received the highest number of threats in recent years. While the majority of these cases remain unresolved and the perpetrators unpunished, they continue to receive horrifying death threats on the social network Facebook.

Brutal threats directed at the entire editorial team, and especially at the world-renowned cartoonist Dušan Petričić, have arrived at the editorial email address as well as on the Radar portal page. In one of the messages, alongside insults, there are threats of extermination:

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns the attacks and interference with the work of media workers in Negotin and calls on the relevant authorities to urgently resolve these cases and all other illegal and unacceptable actions that occurred during the local elections in Negotin, Mionica, and Sečanj. It is particularly unacceptable that the police in Negotin failed to act after an unknown individual from a group of bikers seized the phone of photo reporter Gavrilo Andrić on site.
