In order to systematically monitor, record, and analyse developments on Serbia’s media scene the Independent Journalists’ Association of Serbia has been using the Early warning system for five years. It is focused on five key areas most directly connected to media freedoms and the position of journalists and other media professionals. According to the parameters used by IJAS in implementation of the early warning system, the media scene in Serbia last year was marked by different types of issues faced by both journalists and media outlets. NUNS database indicates continuation of the growing trend of pressures and threats against journalists and other media professionals and media which are objective and critical when reporting on authorities, especially on corruption and organized crime.
