\n

After being sacked as defence minister following sexist comments directed towards a female journalist, Bratislav Ga\u0161i\u0107, a senior official of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, has returned to public office \u2013 having been appointed as the new director of the Security-Information Agency (BIA).<\/h2>\n

It was in late 2015 that Ga\u0161i\u0107 said of a B92 TV journalist, who had crouched in front of him so as not to obscure the cameraman, \u201cHow I like these lady journalists who kneel so easily\u201d.<\/p>\n

This statement resulted in public condemnation and led to Prime Minister Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 announcing that Ga\u0161i\u0107 would be replaced. This was quickly followed by protests of journalists in several cities in Serbia under the slogan \u201cJournalists do not kneel\u201d, demanding that Vu\u010di\u0107 keep his word.<\/p>\n

He was replaced at the beginning of February 2016 and has not appeared in public since.<\/p>\n

Vu\u010di\u0107 has now said that Ga\u0161i\u0107 \u201cheld out for a year and a half without a single function\u201d and that he paid \u201ca very high price for that incident\u201d, after which he said that he believes he can perform professionally in the position of BIA Director.<\/p>\n
