BANJA LUKA, 29.06.2018. – BHJA Journalists Club strongly condemns and considers the statement given by the president of RS Milorad Dodika inadmissible and inappropriate, in which he targeted Suzana Rađen Todorić and Željko Raljić as“two important journalists of BN TV who spent a few days training at some of London’s facilities”. The Club also condemns Dodik’s statement in which he claims “BN works against the interest of RS”.
With such statements, the President of Republic Srpska again endangers the journalist’s right to work and the safety of journalists themselves. We recall the President to resolve all disputes with journalists or media houses legally, if he considers that members of the Seventh Force do not perform their work professionally and ethically. If the President of RS is endangered by journalistic reporting, he should leave it to the competent institutions.
