The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) in Serbia has reported that two local news portals, Bečejski mozaik and Vranje News, have received threatening messages. These messages were sent following the outlets’ critical coverage of government actions and policies. ANEM asserts that the rhetoric employed by government officials is directly endangering journalists and fostering a hostile environment for independent media. The association has not disclosed the exact content of the threats but emphasizes their concerning nature. This incident raises concerns about press freedom and safety for journalists operating in Serbia. ANEM is calling for increased protection and a cessation of inflammatory language from authorities. The organization plans to provide support to the affected news outlets and advocate for a safer working environment for all Serbian journalists.
