Four members of the REM Council: Without the monitoring of the Informer television, the integrity of the election is threatened

"Is it possible that someone thinks that it is okay and good for Serbia to be one of the few countries in the world that does not have any regulatory body? Is it possible that someone thinks that it is good for the Management Board of the Public Media Service to dissolve? I am not optimistic at all and it is realistic to expect that we will encounter a wall, but we should try"

Lawlessness in the electronic media: The non-constitution of the Council of the REM corresponds only to the regime

A condition that will never be fulfilled

The experience of negotiations under the auspices of the international community has shown that this regime will never allow itself to lose control in any institution, especially where it believes the heart of the regime lies. Management of the media sector is one of the two key foundations of the progressive government, and literally no one believes that Vučić and "his" could leave that steering wheel to someone else.

Live strangulation on Pink doesn't seem to bother anyone

Nothing illegal, because there was no law anymore

While we wait for the REM to wake up, the media knowingly, without any fear of sanctions, violates the laws and the Code of Journalists. This includes pushing the narrative that "blockaders" are to blame for everything bad in society, uncritically conveying messages that "they killed the girl in the end", as well as that the police have the right to "beat and kill" students.
