ANEM ALARM: Prosecutors Opened 45% More Cases for Attacks on Journalists in First Half of Year Amid Near-Total Impunity

ANEM documents a 45% increase in prosecutorial cases over attacks on journalists in the first half of the year, revealing near-total impunity: of 279 cases opened over two and a half years, only 3.6% resulted in any judicial measure, with police failing to respond to prosecutorial requests in 28 cases. The report details physical attacks on journalists during local elections near Bor and Bajina Bašta, an attempted murder, a threatening letter to N1 journalist Danica Vučenić (traced to Slovenia via DNA analysis), and notes that four journalists were forced into exile this year, bringing the total to six.
