Goran Dimitrijević: War of the state against the media beyond state control

The presence of the progressive state in the media through the guise of private companies is sad, the content of tabloids close to the authorities spills over into the streets, there are rare oases of free journalism, spitting on N1 comes to him as a good practice in the progressive camp, RTS is obviously under pressure, and the war in Ukraine has accelerated resolving the Kosovo knot

Anna Martinoli, media theorist: The political frequency of REM

"The competition for the fifth frequency did not have to be announced, there was no deadline to do so. But I am of the opinion that he was not drafted in the first round because he is a good bait and an opportunity for various types of possible deals. It is also possible to wait for certain televisions that are just being established. Also, a certain period has been bought to pacify the market and the public so that those who are interested are not too loud in their displeasure because there is a possibility of that fifth frequency that may belong to one of them"

Ana Martinoli: The political frequency of REM

"14 television stations were registered for the competition, and REM decided to award the four that it found did not have a quality program, that they did not improve the market, imposed warning measures on them, even temporary bans on the programs and, finally, again said that they would those four televisions keep the national frequency - that's incredible"

Judita Popović: Addressing hate speech

REM is just as autonomous and independent as the legislative, executive and judicial authorities. If the National Assembly subordinates its work to the needs of the government, if the government listens to the wishes of the President of the Republic and if the judiciary agrees with tabloid accusations and trials with thunderous silence from judges and prosecutors, then it is illusory to expect REM to be the light bearer of the idea of ​​responsible work for the benefit of the public

Allocation of the fifth TV frequency: Soon, maybe

As always when it comes to REM, things are completely clear these days, and the actions are expected. The regulatory body for electronic media continues to live and work according to the idea of ​​raising tension wherever and whenever it can, politically abusing and in the end making absolutely senseless everything it touches.

Electoral media regulator: A little more illusion production

It is not disputed that we have another "body", although there are already REM and the ministry responsible for the media. It is debatable that on the evening of April 3, many will refer to the temporary regulator or to the crazy "dialogues" on the public service and based on that alone, conclude that everything has been done so that the media at least washes and brushes their teeth before the elections.

New Strategy for Roma: Old unfulfilled promises

Roma are the poorest community in Serbia. Two-thirds of them cannot even pay for prescribed drugs or testing for Covid-19. In 38 percent of Roma settlements, not a single residential building is connected to water, and more than 70 percent do not have sewage. Until now, the effects of the planned improvement of the living conditions of Roma women and men were limited to workshops on discrimination or educational programs of non-governmental organizations. Only slightly more than 0,1 percent of Roma are employed in the public administration

Serbia in a collision of elephants: How REM urgently gave a license to a Russian channel in German

Since Thursday, Russian state broadcaster RT has been broadcasting a linear program in German - citing a license recently issued by Serbia's REM. Serbia thus entered into a tug of war between the great powers, the tension between which these days can be cut with a knife. At stake are the price of gas, sanctions, political murders, but also Moscow's many years of attempts to market its state media on the German market.

It could be said that Vučić's team committed such an obvious foul in the penalty area that the referee could not ignore it.
