REM still without a president: Maybe they should try a lottery

The regulatory body for electronic media still does not have a president, which is no wonder. A draw was even proposed at the session, but that creative proposal has not yet been accepted

"Is it possible that someone thinks that it is okay and good for Serbia to be one of the few countries in the world that does not have any regulatory body? Is it possible that someone thinks that it is good for the Management Board of the Public Media Service to dissolve? I am not optimistic at all and it is realistic to expect that we will encounter a wall, but we should try"

Lawlessness in the electronic media: The non-constitution of the Council of the REM corresponds only to the regime

As long as there is no REM Council, the propaganda media can violate the law, spread racial, religious and national hatred and target unfit citizens every day. The interlocutors of "Vremen" agree that the non-constitution of the Council of this body only benefits the current regime

A condition that will never be fulfilled

The experience of negotiations under the auspices of the international community has shown that this regime will never allow itself to lose control in any institution, especially where it believes the heart of the regime lies. Management of the media sector is one of the two key foundations of the progressive government, and literally no one believes that Vučić and "his" could leave that steering wheel to someone else.

Live strangulation on Pink doesn't seem to bother anyone

The scene of physical strangulation in Pink's reality show brings us back to the question of what the media in Serbia looks like and who it suits. REM cannot react because its Council does not exist, but even when it did, everything was the same

Nothing illegal, because there was no law anymore

While we wait for the REM to wake up, the media knowingly, without any fear of sanctions, violates the laws and the Code of Journalists. This includes pushing the narrative that "blockaders" are to blame for everything bad in society, uncritically conveying messages that "they killed the girl in the end", as well as that the police have the right to "beat and kill" students.

Media literacy in Serbia: Sadness, anger, shame, disgust and fear

Television is the dominant medium in Serbia, watched by 96,7 percent of respondents, but only 36,9 percent consider it a credible source of information. As many as 77,4 percent of citizens never read the press, while only 1,3 percent follow it daily. Which media do citizens trust, how do they influence them and do they manage to recognize harmful content

Breaking spears around the REM Council

If the Council of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media was an independent body and worked according to the law, the anomalies on the Serbian media scene on which the regime of Aleksandar Vučić rests would be removed. It's no wonder that the candidate for the Council of the REM in the National Assembly is breaking spears

"By including nine new proposers in the vote on candidates for the REM Council, the expert service of the Serbian Parliament grossly violated the law and the credibility of the process," Citizen Initiatives pointed out.

Very, very important things.

If you had watched, dear courtiers, you would have seen and heard the most touching part of this boy's story, who was talking about his parents, their quarrels, which he might not have to listen to, so he thinks they love each other, but he thinks it is better that they divorce. Some other boy might have heard in his family how students are drug addicts and slackers or foreign mercenaries. There is no censorship in this show, children say what is important to them, in an atmosphere where no one will silence or judge them

Should RTS have censored the boy who said that "students are fighting for justice"?

Should the editor have removed the part where the boy says "students are fighting for justice", should she have found a child who would say the opposite - "students are bad" in order to achieve balance and whether the child's rights were damaged in the public service show
