Belgrade, March 10, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The House of Human Rights and Democracy warns the competent institutions, as well as the\u00a0 domestic and international public, of serious endangering of the safety of journalists that\u00a0 comes with the latest in a series of attacks by pro-regime media and tabloids on KRIK – an\u00a0 independent investigative media and part of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting\u00a0 Project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The accusations made in some media that KRIK journalists and editorial office cooperated with\u00a0 criminal groups represent a serious threat to media freedom because the facts are the\u00a0 opposite. KRIK is working on revealing the connections of the mafia with public officials.\u00a0 Unfounded accusations expose these journalists to life danger, paradoxically only 10 days after\u00a0 the Government of Serbia activated the SOS telephone for journalists whose safety is\u00a0 endangered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When government officials and media close to them constantly accuse independent journalists\u00a0 and media of being traitors, foreign mercenaries, an extended arm of the opposition, ignorant\u00a0 and liars, conspirators in the victory of the coronavirus, and now even collaborators suspected\u00a0 of the most serious acts of organized crime, it is the government and media close to the\u00a0 government that bear full responsibility for endangering the safety of journalists, freedom of\u00a0 the media and the absence of the rule of law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why we call on the competent prosecutor’s office, the Government of the Republic of\u00a0 Serbia, the Ministry of Culture and Information and REM to take all necessary steps to stop\u00a0 drawing targets on journalists and independent media. The Constitution and laws specify that\u00a0 there is a duty and obligation of these institutions to do everything in their power to protect\u00a0 the safety of journalists and to enable the freedom of media and freedom of expression that\u00a0 should exists in a democratic, European society that Serbia strives to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
