The President of the Doboj Municipality Assembly, Srećko Rekanović verbally insulted BN TV journalist Vesna Vukmirović, the media’s correspondent from Doboj. Rekanović refused to answer a legitimate journalist’s question, justifying that decision by the fact that he “does not answer the questions of BN TV journalists”.

The Board of Directors of BH Journalists responded with a statement.

The FMHL lawyer will monitor this case in terms of further unprecedented violations against this woman journalists and BN TV.
