Announcements

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns the endangerment of the safety of student and activist P.C. by Siniša Vučinić on TV Informer, who made a disturbing announcement about a potential murder. Although Vučinić later apologized and stated that he mentioned it only hypothetically, this does not justify the publicly spoken word and intimidation, and it is unacceptable to mention names and target individuals in such a context.

Smiljana Milinkov, a journalism professor and head of the Department of Media Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, has received a death threat. A message arrived at the official address of the faculty: "The Black Hand has marked you."

The Russian intelligence services claim that critical and independent media, with the help of the European Union, aim to provoke a "Serbian Maidan." The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) assesses this as conducting a special propaganda war that further endangers the safety of journalists and local media that professionally report on events in Serbia.

Another threat has been directed at Dinko Gruhonjić, a professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, this time in the form of a letter that arrived at the faculty’s address, signed "Greetings from Ratko Mladić".

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns yet another threat received by Dinko Gruhonjić, this time via phone calls and SMS messages in which his family is threatened with death.

The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications has not yet responded to the request from journalistic and media associations for changes to the process of project co-financing of media content. Based on the application form for registration in the register for members of the new commissions, it is evident that none of the proposals regarding the scoring of candidates has been accepted.

The Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) and the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) have sent an open letter to the Rector of the University of Novi Sad, Dejan Madić, regarding the events of September 5, 2025, in Novi Sad, when, after 9 PM, police intervened against the gathered students and citizens, and police officers entered the building of the Rectorate of the University of Novi Sad, taking official actions against individuals found in the premises.

The Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) and the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) condemn the incident that occurred yesterday in Čačak, when, as claimed by Nenad Nešović, editor of the Čačak portal N2, he was shoulder-checked by journalist Gvozden Nikolić, owner of the portal Glas Zapadne Srbije. Nešović reported this case to the police, and Nikolić today denied in the media that the incident took place. We expect the prosecution to act in accordance with the law and establish all the circumstances of this event.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns the violent threats directed at the editorial staff of the local portal Vranje News and demands that the authorities promptly identify and apprehend the perpetrator, considering the seriousness of the threat. The editorial team has reported the case to the contact point of the Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists at the Prosecutor's Office and provided information to the police. The case has also been reported to the Prosecutor's Office for High-Tech Crime.
