A journalist, Sergej Ivanov, received a threatening phone call from an unknown person: "...those who write lies about me, something may happen to them...". The threat arrived after he published a post on his Facebook profile regarding the possible opening of a lignite mine in the vicinity of Dimitrovgrad, just before a public discussion on the Draft Detailed Regulatory Plan for the "Mazgoš" deposit was scheduled to take place. The case has been reported to the competent prosecutor's office, and there has been a significant reaction from the professional community.

Journalists are not "people of a special kind" from whom traumas bounce off like they are made of stone, without consequences or pain. In the complete lawlessness that prevails during demonstrations in Serbia, without police and prosecutors taking any action for our protection, a profession that exposes its employees to extraordinary levels of stress even in normal circumstances becomes truly harmful and dangerous for its own people. It is high time we equip young people in this profession with the knowledge and skills that will extend their careers and make them healthier and more resilient.

"The new competitions for the program director and seven chief and responsible editors will be announced when all conditions are met and when I assess that it is the most effective for the organization," said Goran Karadžić, the General Director of Radio-Television Vojvodina, today for UNS.

Candidates for the new general director of Radio-Television of Serbia, whose applications have been accepted, do not guarantee that there will be substantial changes in the operations of RTS, agree the interlocutors of Danas.

In Negotin, during the local elections held on Sunday, November 30, while preparing to join the Nova S television news broadcast near the SNS offices, correspondent Katarina Golubović was obstructed by members of this party through shoving, insults, and inappropriate remarks.
