UNS, ANEM, and Lokal Press: MIT to explain the inconsistencies in the operation of JIS and violations of the law in the area of project co-financing for media.
The Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS), the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM), and the Business Association Local Press (PU "Lokal pres") express their concern and dissatisfaction with the operations of the Unified Information System (JIS) for the implementation and monitoring of co-financing projects in the field of public information (JIS).
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 Ministry of Information and Telecommunications is obligated to initiate misdemeanor proceedings against local governments that have not yet announced public competitions for the realization of public interest 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.
One year ago, journalist Verica Marinčić was physically prevented from covering the citizens' protest in Čortanovci at the city hall in Inđija. The N1 news team documented the physical intervention and the removal of this journalist from the municipal building.
Extend the deadline and address the deficiencies in the application process for the competition of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications.
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) calls on the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications to extend the deadline for submitting projects for the competition for project co-financing aimed at protecting and promoting the public interest in the media sector.
ANEM: New threats to Dinko Gruhonjić are a consequence of the falsehoods spread about him by representatives of the government.
In the past few days, journalist and university professor from Novi Sad, Dinko Gruhonjić, has received dozens of messages that represent direct threats to his life and the life of his family, constituting a criminal offense of "Endangering Safety" in each individual case.
ANEM suspends its membership in the Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists.
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) joins journalistic and media associations that have decided to suspend their status in the work of the Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists (SRG).
An explosive atmosphere requires a more efficient response from institutions.
In the early days of January 2025, ANEM and other journalist and media associations expressed concern over the large number of threats, attacks, and pressure on journalists, as well as the escape of one of those who had issued threats, demanding that institutions do everything within their power to stop the wave of violence.
