Ten Months Without REM: The Media Scene in Complete Lawlessness

August 26, 2025

For almost a year without the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM), the situation in the media landscape is, according to the assessment of sources from Insajder, "more chaotic than ever." Following the tragedy when a canopy collapsed at the railway station in Novi Sad, the issue of the non-existence of this body faded into the background. It was brought back into focus by students during a blockade in April when they continuously disrupted the operations of the Public Service for two weeks, demanding that a competition for members of the REM Council be announced as soon as possible. The competition was announced, applications were submitted, and then withdrawn. The situation seems to be going in circles. Meanwhile, some media outlets that should always operate in the public interest, respecting all laws and codes, are exploiting this period of vacuum to disseminate propaganda and threatening content.
