After the BH Journalists Association made a press release regarding the continued political pressure on RTV Zenica employees, the RTV Zenica editorial board sent a broad response to BH Journalists, in which they threatened with a defamation lawsuit against the BHJA.

In their announcement RTV Zenica editorial board states, among other things, that BH Journalists “can easily bear the consequences of groundless and libelous statements, conclusions and requests”.
