SafeJournalists: Institutions Must Condemn Dangerous Manipulations of Serbian Authorities and Protect Safety of Journalists
Quote:The SafeJournalists Network strongly condemns the dangerous manipulations and threats directed at journalists and students by the Serbian authorities, led by President Aleksandar Vučić, in the midst of large-scale protests in Serbia. This pressure culminated in the public exposure of the security risk of Matej Devčić, a journalist of the Telegram.hr portal, who was reporting from Serbia.
According to available information, Vojislav Šešelj, a convicted war criminal, published the personal data of Devčić in the Informer television program. The television broadcast Devčić’s identity card with the claim that he is part of the foreign “trainers” of the protest leaders, and the address of the hotel where he was staying was also published.
