    The Steering Committee of BH Journalists Association sent a letter of protest to the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Janez Janša, expressing deep concern over the announcement on Janša’s official Twitter account, announcing the “trial for multiple criminal offenses” for journalist Avdo Avdić.

    BHJA’s letter was published in several Slovenian media. In this case, BH Journalists received the support of the Association of Journalists of Slovenia, which also published a letter on its website.
