Massive protests continue in Serbia, media freedom required

Saturday's protests marked the 16th week of protests against Vuciq government. Thousands of protesters gathered in front of the Serbian Radio Television building, seeking media freedom.

They have kept red roses and candles in their hands, commemorating journalists who have been killed in Serbia in the last 30 years.

On March 16th, protesters led by opposition rightist Bosko Obradovic went violent to the state television building RTS, asking to address the people.

Their request was not met, and at least 18 people were arrested during the police intervention.

Following last week's protests, the president vowed to protect order and law in the country.

I am their target at the time when I want to establish political consolidation and economic development”, he said.

Antigovernmental protests “One in five million” are held in Belgrade every Saturday since 8 December last year. Meanwhile, they have also been lying in other cities of Serbia.

Protesters, including public figures, opposition politicians, university professors and others, look for more space on public television, then the discovery of its lawmakers and leaders, as they say, attacks on citizens, journalists, activists and politicians, as well as the publication of the “plan to resolve the Kosovo issue”.

Last month, the International Organisation for Freedoms and Human Rights in the World has published the annual report, in which it has degraded Serbia from the category of free countries in a part-free country.
