What was journalists' association reaction | The coalition of journalists’ and media associations (IJAS, IJAV, AM, AOM, SCF, ANEM and Local press) strongly condemned the defamation campaign of the pro-government media against the KRIK newsroom. They called on the Republic Public Prosecutor’s Office to deny completely unfounded and dangerous insinuations about KRIK’s connection with criminal groups, and the Ministry of the Interior to take all measures to protect journalists. They stated that they expect from the Ministry of Culture and Information to urgently announce and condemn the smear and intimidation campaign that was launched against KRIK and to protect the targeted journalists. The coalition of journalists’ and media associations informed international organizations and associations about a new brutal attack on independent and professional journalists in Serbia. |
