NUNS: April – journalists targeted by online threats and harassment from public officials.

In April 2026, the Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) recorded a total of **18 incidents involving journalists and media workers**. Two actual attacks and six cases of death threats and threats to the physical safety of journalists were documented, along with six other threats to journalists. Additionally, two attacks on media and media organizations, as well as two other threats to the media, were also recorded. Although a lower number of threats and attacks on journalists was noted, this did not reduce the level of their vulnerability. Throughout April, a violent narrative against the media continued, and serious threats were directed at journalists and media outlets. A severe and very violent threat was recorded against a female journalist, containing elements of gender-based violence, as well as serious targeting of journalists and media by high public officials in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.
