Protest Against Alexander Vuciqi in Serbia

Serbia's independent media have staged a protest Thursday against what they call the killing of the Serbian press on the part of Aleksandar Vucic.

Serbian nongovernmental media, civil society-protecting organisations, have blocked their front pages, and a black-white note has emerged. This is what appears to be when there is no free press”, written on slogans.

Some newspapers have come out today with a black ribbon, in protest against what they have called depression.

“Stop interrupting free speech in Serbia”, the announcement said. Protest organisers have indicated that the goal is to prove that media freedom in the Serbian state is dying.

The initiative has also been prompted by the closure of an independent newspaper in South Serbia and attacks on journalists by a political party in power, writes “Ledger Enquirer”.

Serbian media have indicated that the situation is getting worse, despite the fact that political leaders say Serbia is heading towards the EU. Aleksandar Vucic, the Serbian prime minister, a former extreme nationalist now turned into a reformist, has said it is not true that there is media oppression in the Serbian state.

However, Vucic said he worked and worked for media freedom in his country. Main newspapers have gone on sale
