UNS: Vučić's list ruled unchallenged in the election campaign

REM's final report on the media coverage of last year's December elections, into which UNS had insight, but which REM does not publish, talks about the drastic disproportion of time devoted to the participants of the election process on the channels of all commercial national broadcasters, so the list "AV - Serbia does not sme da stop" undisputedly ruled the program of these televisions

At least 1.154 headline manipulations last year.

The fight for an independent REM

If the opportunity to reform the body that has the power to shape the media space in Serbia is missed now, and if people with integrity are not elected to it, the media scene in Serbia will remain hostage to political influence for years to come.

Black hole for the media

The mandate of the outgoing Council is remembered for the absence of a sincere initiative to organize the local media space. Also, the deadlines for granting expired TV and radio licenses were broken, and the famous fifth license for national coverage was not granted. Their last move was the unanimously voted allocation of a regional frequency to Informer TV, and that was against the law. Are better days coming

Curative against living mud

I have never seen a more senseless decision than three days of mourning in Vojvodina, while in the rest of Serbia it lasted only one day. Where exactly territorially do we stop grieving - when we cross the bridge in Beška or weep all the way to Banovac? Paradoxically, the viewers in Vojvodina have classical music and a changed program, while the national frequency channels are bursting with joy.

As Mrs. Heydrich joked with me

Mrs. Olivera Zekić said that she likes to provoke. Here in Serbia, where she is under the protection of Aleksandar Vučić, it is not at all dangerous for her. Since she already loves so much, I suggest that she provoke so sweetly in Germany. They would arrest her on the spot. And for those who, like me, were killed by the people in the uniform that she promotes, she could at least apologize

Proceedings have been initiated against TV Pink for showing a video of Đorđe Miketić

The fact that the image of the person in the video in question is blurred is irrelevant considering that the program unreservedly claims that it is Đorđe Miketić, and thus the content is contrary to the article of the Ordinance on the Protection of Human Rights, which stipulates that it is not possible to publish information from private life, i.e. a personal record or a voice record without the consent of the person whose private life the information concerns, states REM
