Minister of Information and Telecommunications Boris Bratina, in his appearances on Informer and Pink TV, accused journalists from N1 and Nova S of being “to blame for many things,” labeled Radio Free Europe as “dangerous because of its anti-Serb programming,” and stated that N1 and Nova “should not exist on the airwaves in the territory of the state,” announcing changes to regulations that would prevent their broadcasting in Serbia.

Such statements represent a direct attack on media freedom and an attempt to stifle pluralism.
