Reporters Without Borders (RSF) warned on Thursday that more than 30 Serbian journalists have been attacked over the summer.
The RSF also urged the European Union to strongly condemn what it said is a record wave of violence.
“Violence against journalists in Serbia — which Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has repeatedly warned about — has reached a sad new record. RSF has documented 34 physical attacks committed in less than two months against media professionals by both political activists and law enforcement while they reported on anti-corruption protests. This figure exceeds all annual totals of physical assaults recorded in Serbia since at least 2020,” the RSF said.
“RSF calls on European Union (EU) member states and the European Parliament to send a clear message to the Serbian authorities that their passive stance – and potential complicity – in these abuses is incompatible with their goal of joining the EU,” it added.
