A new attack on old targets

After the arrest of activists in Serbia, the target was the non-governmental sector, i.e. civil society organizations. Again, for the umpteenth time, funding sources and donation amounts are searched. Accusations are flying everywhere about alleged enrichment of individuals from citizens' associations, although the fact is that no one has yet gotten rich from activism, unlike those who make these accusations.

Did Željko Mitrović overdo it even for Vučić?

The President of Serbia criticized the abuse of artificial intelligence on Pink, but he also said that the representatives of the opposition have done so many bad things that there is no need to put anything in their mouths.

She announced on Thursday (April 17) morning that the patrol police brought her husband to Čačak.

"Half an hour ago, a team of several police officers came in front of the family's apartment in Čačak and took @good_neighbor (Marko Marjanović) into custody. Although I have answered the call three times so far, and although he told them yesterday that he would come for an interview today. They said that they will take him to Belgrade. We don't know where, nor when," the post reads.

This was the fourth time that the police detained Marjanović in connection with his posts on social networks.

A day earlier, on Wednesday, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, stated that her mobile phone number was published on social networks and that, while she was chairing the parliamentary session, she received threats of rape and murder.

"You know who did it? One of the blockaders who walked the streets and beat SNS members just because they dared to have a stand and talk to citizens. That man, who announced my phone number, thanks to which I now have two threats of rape and a death threat, that man did the same yesterday to a young woman, Radiotelevision Serbia journalist Nikolina Rakić," Brnabić said during the debate in parliament on the election of a new government.

The Association of Serbian Journalists has condemned the fact that the phone numbers of RTS journalists and editors have been published on social networks, appealing to citizens to stop endangering the safety and privacy of journalists, and to the authorities to find and punish those responsible.

In a statement, UNS stated that on Tuesday, a tweeter from the "Crystal Matt Damon" profile on the X social network posted the phone numbers of RTS journalists Nikolina Rakić, Milenko Krišan and Marko Ivas and, obviously ironically, in the same post called on citizens not to "call and send messages".

The association also pointed out that on Tuesday in Belgrade posters were pasted, that is, as it is stated on them - warrants, with photos of RTS editor - Nenada Lj. Stefanović, Sandra Perović, Miloš Janković, Bojana Mlađenović, Mirjana Brajković and Milica Nedić, with the inscription "Wanted".

Everyone has the right to be dissatisfied with the work of journalists and the media, criticism of their work is legitimate, but labeling journalists, publicly sharing their private data and publishing warrants for them is inadmissible, UNS said.

The association pointed out that such labeling of journalists could seriously threaten their safety and appealed to citizens to refrain from doing so.

And the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia (NUNS) condemned the public sharing of personal data of Radio and Television of Serbia (RTS) employees on social networks, as well as the posting of posters with the names and photos of editors, which look like warrants.

Such actions represent a serious pressure on media workers and can potentially endanger their safety and privacy, which is why, as they state, they are considered inadmissible in a democratic society.

"Although citizens have every right to be dissatisfied with the editorial policy of RTS and to demand professional, impartial and responsible reporting - especially from media that is financed from public funds - behaviors that have elements of intimidation or public targeting are not an acceptable form of social pressure," announced NUNS.

The tweeter's wife Marko Marjanovic, better known by the stage name Crystal Matt Damon, announced on the X network that he had been released from the hearing.
