Photo: TanjugTwo petitions to cancel the reality show were signed by more than 440.000 people in a short period of time, and this is one of the demands of tomorrow's protests in Belgrade and Novi Sad. However, Aleksandar Vučić, Ana Brnabić, Olivera Zekić do not think so
Yesterday, the Society for the Serbian Language and Literature of Serbia launched an initiative on its website to stop the collapse of the education system, whose first request is "a ban on reality shows and other programs that propagate violence and immorality, thereby insulting human dignity and adversely affecting the formation of personality."
After a few hours, their initiative was signed by more than 20.000 people.
At the time of writing, the "Move-Change" petition to revoke the license of Pink and Happy television stations, which have a national frequency, has been signed by 420.714 people.
One of the demands of the protests that have been announced for tomorrow in Belgrade and Novi Sad is the cancellation of reality programs on televisions with a national frequency.
However, government officials do not think so.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, pointed out in his address to the citizens after the massacre in Vračar, in the Elementary School "Vladislav Ribnikar" that children do not watch television, and that it cannot be said that the perpetrator was in any way influenced by the reality show.
Prime Minister Ana Brnabić stated that reality shows "are not a feature" of Serbia and that the boy who killed nine people in Ribnikar "definitely did not watch a reality show".
The President of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media, Olivera Zekić, said that it is impossible to say whether violence is caused by reality shows, those who publish warrants on the networks, shows in which those whose opinions we disagree with are dehumanized, newspapers and portals which are the main promoters of that violence, but it is certainly important to have a serious conversation about it.
