They're going. elections, stressful for anyway journalists, but colleagues are currently struggling to report critically as they are used to, write letters, organize protests.

They were appointed as the new editorial duo Marko Stjepanovic and Ivana Mastilović Jasnić, until now the leading violin of "Blica".
"Both the owners and Marko Stjepanović say that it's just a coincidence. Isn't it because of what will happen on election day and the following days?", Femić asks in the text.
"Perhaps then we should be uber professional and turn our heads a little to the other side, wait for the publication of what will happen - pressures, threats, pre-election machinations, post-election creativity. That's not going to happen, Brent!", says Femić to the man who is editorially responsible for N1, Nova and others Brent Sadler.
"We have seen these deeds"
Femić writes that Sadler and the new owner brought editors to the newsroom, and Stjepanović told them to wait for them to show themselves at work. "And we have already seen those works. Some in the newsroom have already worked with him and would not repeat that experience," Femić writes now and concludes:
"Bringing an authorized editorial duo from the regime's 'Blic' to the editorial office just before the elections Nova.rs and expecting a calm reception is like throwing sodium in water and then being surprised that something exploded."
