Over the course of nine weeks, Serbia's roads have been flooded by dozens of protesters, who, in turn, call for completion of what they call the authorities of Alexander Vuciqi in media control, writes Al Yazerra in a report dedicated to these events in Serbia, Periscope follows.
Under the banners -- one in five million, Serbian protesters -- have responded to a comment by the Serbian president, who had declared that even if five million people were to get out on the streets, he could not give up their” demands.
“These protests are the logical consequence of all the accumulated negative energy and dangerous dissatisfaction also accumulated under the leadership of Vuciqi”, says Independent Journalists Association Vice President in Serbia Zeljko Bodrozic, for Al Jazeran, translates. Periscope.
“Citizens have seen that after decades under Vuciki's regime, the history of the 1990s when he served as Information Minister for former President Slobodan Milosevic is repeating itself. We no longer live under the hysteria of war, but Vuchic practices the same policy only in one sense and another”, he continues.
“Protesters want Serbian Radio Television not to be a state television and to take on more public role with a focus on all social groups, and, even if it criticises the Serbian government, to take its place in public. Vuciq knows very well that capture of the media is one thing that suits his government very well and I think that's one of the greatest reasons he has caught the media to this extent. I ask why we don't have programs that criticize Vuciqi and see why most news reports spread are common and manipulating propaganda”, says Tanja Maksic from BIRN for Al Jazeera.
For the executive director of Vrequem, Philip Swarm, it is interesting that the European Union cares more about stability in Serbia than about media freedom in this website.
For the EU, it's only interesting to keep standing like this: we don't shoot Vuciqi. (For the EU) it is more important that we not be at war with our neighbors. While freedoms guaranteeing democracy, human rights and media freedom are not as interesting in”, he says. /Periscopi/
