Journalists in Serbia continued to work in a disadvantageous environment in 2017, while media freedom continued to decline, according to the conclusions of the regular annual reports of Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Freedom House.<\/h2>\n

In the part of the\u00a0HRW report<\/a>\u00a0related to the media in Serbia, it is noted that attacks on journalists continued in 2017, to which the relevant institutions reacted inadequately, pro-government media continued leading a campaign against independent media and journalists, and several cases of murders of journalists have yet to be resolved.<\/p>\n

They are reminded of the case of\u00a0the six journalists attacked during the presidential inauguration<\/a>\u00a0of 31st<\/sup>\u00a0May,\u00a0the lawsuit filed by the interior minister against reputable weekly NIN<\/a>, as well as the as-yet-still-unresolved cases of the murders of journalists\u00a0Slavko \u0106uruvija<\/a>, Dada Vujasinovi\u0107 and Milan Panti\u0107.<\/p>\n

Freedom House states in its\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0that Serbia is marking a decline in democracy \u201cthanks to the reinforcing of President Vu\u010di\u0107\u2019s power\u201d. According to this report, European leaders\u2019 tolerance of his authoritarian tendencies enabled him to further subdue the opposition following his victory in the presidential election in April, demolishing what is left of the independent media \u201cthrough the undermining of critically-minded journalists with financial investigations and defamations in media outlets close to the government\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
