OEBS – Predstavnik za slobodu medija – Official Statement NEMA BEZBEDNOSTI BEZ SLOBODE MEDIJA Saopštenje: Izbori u 10 srpskih opština bili su obeleženi brojnim dokumentovanim opstrukcijama i fizičkim napadima na novinare. Nasilje i zastrašivanje novinara dostigli su nivoe bez presedana i pozivam srpske organe reda i tužilaštvo da zaštite slobodu medija i bezbednost novinara, kao i da istraže i procesuiraju počinioce. U skladu sa Odlukom Ministarskog saveta 3/18, podstičem srpske vlasti da javno i nedvosmisleno osude sve napade i nasilje nad novinarima. Bezbednost novinara je državna obaveza i odgovornost. Razlike u političkom mišljenju ne opravdavaju nasilje i zastrašivanje. #OSCE #MediaFreedom #SafetyOfJournalists #FreedomOfExpression #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime #Serbia OEBS-ov predstavnik za slobodu medija je jedini međuvladin mehanizam te vrste na svetu. To mu daje specifičnu težinu koju lokalni politički akteri ne bi smeli tek tako da ignorišu.
OSCE The representative on freedom of the media THERE IS NO SECURITY WITHOUT MEDIA FREEDOM
Official Statement
Elections in 10 Serbian municipalities were marked by numerous documented obstructions and physical attacks against journalists. Violence and intimidation of journalists have reached unprecedented levels and I call on Serbian law enforcement and prosecution authorities to protect freedom of media and safety of journalists and to investigate and prosecute perpetrators.
In line with Ministerial Council Decision 3/18, I encourage Serbian authorities to publicly and unequivocally condemn all attacks and violence against journalists. Safety of journalists is a State commitment and responsibility. Differences of political opinion do not justify violence and intimidation.
