The Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) has urgently called for the identification and punishment of those responsible for recent death threats against Veran Matić, the president of the Managing Board of the Association. UNS emphasized the critical need for swift and effective action by authorities in response to these threats. The organization views these threats as a serious attack on media freedom and the safety of journalists. They highlight a concerning pattern of escalating hostility towards media professionals in Serbia. UNS stressed that protecting journalists from intimidation and violence is paramount for a functioning democracy. Failure to address these threats effectively sends a dangerous message of impunity. The association urges a thorough investigation and prosecution of the perpetrators to prevent further escalation.
