On two occasions – on Saturday night (04.02.32018) and again on Monday evening (05.02.2018) –disgraceful posters were glued into the glass entrance of the House of Journalists where the head office of Journalists Association of Serbia and Independent Journalists Association of Serbia associations is. The posters presented IJAS as an “Unhappy Association of Enemies of Serbia”. IJAS estimates that this is a professionally organized campaign because the posters were printed in color, on quality paper, and probably in a larger circulation, in order to distribute this shameful leaflet in other public places.
