History of IJAS

Founding

After the Assembly of the Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS), held in Tara in July 1992, when Slobodan Milosevic’s regime took over the organization, a large group of members first began to gather around the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Journalists (SNSN), spontaneously creating the Media Freedom Committee and the Presidency of the Extraordinary Assembly of the Association of Journalists in a permanent session, with the idea of creating a new professional journalistic organization.

 

The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Journalists (SNSN), the Coordination Board for Freedom of the Media and the Presidency of the Extraordinary Assembly of the Association of Journalists established the Solidarity Fund on January 19, 1993, and Hari Stajner was elected president. “Each of us would have to – as for himself and because of his face – to oppose this devastating wave, which has affected the University, the National Theater, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Clinical Center, schools. “If we do not oppose, if we surrender, neither we nor our children will have any future,” Stajner said during the election.

 

A year later, the Independent Journalists’ Association of Serbia – IJAS was formed from the Solidarity Fund. It was founded on March 25, 1994, and 350 journalists from all over Serbia attended the Founding Assembly in the Belgrade Youth Center.

 

The Constituent Assembly adopted the Statute and the Letter of Intent and Objectives. The chairman was Rade Veljanovski, and the working presidency included Mile Isakov, Stevan Niksic, Hari Stajner and Miodrag Stoilovic.

 

Two months after its founding, on May 19, 1994, IJAS was officially registered as a social organization, and Velimir Curguz Kazimir, Gordana Logar, Sena Todorovic, Zoran Radosavljevic, Rade Veljanovski, Lila Radonjic, Branka Mihailovic, Ljubica Markovic were registered as founders. Milan Vlajcic and Ivana Zivkov.
