The Board of the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) has made a decision to admit the Free Media portal from Novi Pazar into the membership of this media association, stating that the new member represents an example of a professional and independent media outlet in Serbia and will significantly contribute to the improved functioning of the organization, which has been in existence since 1993.

When I read Professor Milena Petrović's response about the "well-known media darkness in Kosovo and Metohija," I thought that there might be a part of Kosovo where we from the local editorial offices have not lived for years.

In an era when digital platforms and screens dominate, and printed media across the region are struggling against the onslaught of modern technologies, few manage to withstand the challenges and preserve the scent of freshly printed paper. One of the rare examples of durability, journalistic bravery, and uncompromising quality is "Čačanske novine," which, with the release of their milestone 1000th issue, has written another important chapter in Serbian local journalism.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) has filed a report with the relevant prosecutor's office regarding the intimidation and harassment of journalist Nikola Doderović from the Australian public broadcaster Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), who was pursued by a group believed to be supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) on election day in Niš. Doderović reported the attack to ANEM via the SOS hotline for reporting threats to journalists' safety, and in response to this case, the journalistic segment of the Standing Working Group on Journalist Safety (SRG), of which ANEM is a member, also reacted on Sunday, October 25.

Today, the trial of KRIK began at the First Basic Court in Belgrade, following a new, third lawsuit filed by Jelena Tanasković, the former director of Infrastructure of the Serbian Railways, who is accused in the case concerning canopies. Tanasković filed this lawsuit personally against the now former KRIK journalist Sofija Parojčić, due to a video published on our social media, in which Parojčić discusses her first investigative story that led to Tanasković's lawsuit.

The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns the threatening and disturbing comments left under the investigative article by the weekly magazine Radar, authored by Vuk Cvijić and Milan Radonjić, titled “Vučko is now our brother, Andrej is the main one, godfather,” which addresses the Sky communications and the alleged connections between government representatives and organized crime groups. The comments left under the name Đuro directly address journalists Cvijić and Radonjić by name, containing brutal insults and explicit messages with allusions to murder and sexual violence against children. ANEM demands an immediate response from the competent prosecutor's office and police, the identification of the individual behind these messages, and the implementation of all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the journalists and editors of Radar, as well as their family members.

The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications (MIT) responded today to the Journalists' Association of Serbia (UNS) that it has initiated misdemeanor proceedings against those responsible in 14 local governments due to delays in announcing media competitions.
