Regional non-governmental organizations, founders of the “Srđan Aleksić” journalism award, have strongly condemned the vandalism of David Gruhonjić’s car. The incident, targeting a member of the Gruhonjić family, is viewed as an attack on press freedom and safety. The NGOs released a statement expressing deep concern over the escalating threats against journalists and their families in the region. They emphasized the importance of investigating the attack and holding those responsible accountable. The Gruhonjić family has been targeted previously, raising fears of a pattern of intimidation. This latest incident underscores the vulnerability of journalists and the need for greater protection of media workers in the Balkans. The organizations are calling for swift action from authorities to ensure the safety of journalists and prevent further attacks.
