Skopje, (MINA) – Montenegro is considered to be one of the frontrunners in the EU integration process in the region, but there is a huge risk that this might get lost if, for instance, we don’t see progress in investigations into attacks against journalists, European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy Johannes Hahn has stated.
Addressing the Western Balkans Media Days in Skopje, he said that the most disturbing fact is that, instead of being suppressed, the violence against journalists has increased.
Commissioner Hahn noted that according to the information from a regional platform for media freedom advocacy, in the Western Balkans this year, there were 11 cases of physical attacks on journalists, adding that this is unacceptable.
