Tokom decembra, zabeleženo je u Monitoringu, slobode je lišen Aleksandar Dikić, autor nekoliko emisija na televiziji KTV (,,Bez ustručavanja”, ,,Bez cenzure”, ,,Skener dr Aleksandra Dikića”) i kolumnista nekoliko medija (dnevnog lista Danas, časopisa Nova srpska politička misao i portala Bez cenzure). Nepoznata osoba pretila je novinaru medija Radar Vuku Cvijiću zbog onog što će objaviti sutra, u koje staje čitava budućnost njegovog istraživačkog rada. Predsednik Republike Srbije teško je osudio novinara TV N1 Mladena Savatovića zbog pitanja koje mu je postavio u cilju informisanja građana o pitanju o kom imaju opravdani interes da budu informisani. Reporterki TV N1 Žaklini Tatalović utišali su mikrofon kako bi predsednicu Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije „spasli” pitanja koje joj je novinarka želela postaviti. Ograđene prostore nepoznata lica i pripadnici policije branili su od novinarke portala Mašina, reporterke TV N1 Žakline Tatalović, dve reporterke dnevnog lista Danas, novinarke portala Storyteller Vladimire Dorčov Valtnerov. U digitalnom svetu pretili su redakciji medija Radar, apostrofirajući karikaturistu Dušana Petričića, kao i autorima emisije ,,Dobar, loš, zao”, a sa tribina Beogradske Arene novinarki Brankici Stanković. Protiv novinarki TV N1 Ane Novaković i Danice Vučenić na društvenoj mreži X vodile su se difamirajuće kampanje. Hakerskim napadima bili su izloženi sajtovi televizije KTV: bezcenzure.rs i ktv.rs. Ulazi u prostorije redakcija portala OzonPress i Čačanskih novina bili su zasuti jajima.

U decembru, Prvi osnovni sud u Beogradu doneo je prvostepenu odluku kojom je urednica Novosti Andrijana Nešić – po krivičnoj prijavi koju je protiv nje podneo advokat Zdenko Tomanović – oglašena krivom za izvršenje krivičnog dela Uvreda. Po prijavi koju je dopisnik TV N1 iz Niša Milan Stojanović podneo protiv radnika koji su mu u februaru 2022. godine onemogućavali izveštavanje, dva radnika JKP ,,Naisus” prvostepeno su oglašena krivim za izvršenje krivičnog dela Sprečavanje štampanja i rasturanja štampanih stvari i emitovanja programa. Slobode je lišen Jelenko Pijevac osumnjičen da je pretio novinarki Insajdera Nataši Mijušković. Novinaru dnevnog lista Danas Uglješi Bokiću upućen je poziv da po nalogu tužilaštva dâ izjavu u policiji zbog, rekli su iz uredništva tog lista, objavljivanja delova policijske službene beleške.

Kompanija „Starting” povukla je privatnu krivičnu tužbu protiv novinarke KRIK-a Sofije Bogosavljev. Drugi osnovni sud u Beogradu doneo je prvostepenu oslobađajuću presudu u krivičnom postupku koji je protiv je novinarke portala Pištaljka Snežane Đurić pokrenuo Vladimir Antić, zakonski zastupnik Veslačkog saveza Srbije. Privredni apelacioni sud u Beogradu potvrdio je prvostepenu presudu Privrednog suda kojom je odbijen tužbeni zahtev izdavača dnevnog lista Kurir da se izdavač portala KRIK i izdavač dnevnog lista Danas obavežu da tužiocu naknade iznos štete navodno prouzrokovane objavljivanjem analize ,,Naslovne strane 2023: Šest novina, više od 1150 manipulacija” portala Raskrikavanje. O svemu navedenom bilo je reči u ovomesečnom Monitoringu medijske scene u Srbiji.

MEDIA SCENE OF SERBIA IN DECEMBER 2025

In this month's Monitoring, the reader can be informed about the position that Serbia occupies in the report of the Civicus Monitor platform; insights about our country presented by United Nations experts and the international organization Reporters Without Borders; about the findings related to the installation of the NoviSpy spy software, obtained by the research portal BIRN in cooperation with the SHARE Foundation; on the relationship between the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade and the Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime according to the recording of the conversation between Vladimir Lučić, director of Telekom, and Stan Miller, director of United Group, a conversation published by the research portal KRIK and discussed by its editor-in-chief Stevan Dojčinović; on the outcome of the annual meeting of the Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists; the discussion of the Association of Independent Electronic Media, the Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia and the OSCE Mission in Serbia; the report prepared by ANEM and the Center for the Development of Local Media (CRLM) from Požarevac; about the conclusions presented by the Coalition for Media Freedom about the threats to the professional integrity and personal safety of journalists in smaller communities.

During December, according to Monitoring, Aleksandar Dikić, the author of several shows on KTV ("No hesitation", "No censorship", "Skener Dr. Aleksandar Dikić") and a columnist for several media (daily newspaper Danas, magazine Nova srpska politička misao and portal Bez cenzure) was deprived of his freedom. An unknown person threatened the journalist of Radar weekly Vuk Cvijić because of what he will publish tomorrow, in which the entire future of his investigative work depends. President of the Republic of Serbia harshly condemned TV N1 journalist Mladen Savatović for the questions he asked him in order to inform citizens about an issue they have a legitimate interest in being informed about. The microphone of N1 TV reporter Žaklina Tatalović was silenced in order to "spare" the National Assembly’s Speaker from the questions the journalist wanted to ask her. The fenced areas were defended by unknown persons and members of the police from the Mašina portal journalist, N1 TV reporter Žaklina Tatalović, two Danas daily newspaper reporters, and Storyteller portal journalist Vladimira Dorčov Valtnerov. In the digital world, the editorial office of the Radar weekly was threatened, apostrophizing the cartoonist Dušan Petričić, as well as the authors of the "The Good, the Bad, the Evil" podcast, while journalist Brankica Stanković was again threatened from the Belgrade Arena stands. Defamation campaigns were conducted against N1 TV journalists Ana Novaković and Danica Vučenić on the X social network. The websites of KTV television bezcenzure.rs and ktv.rs were exposed to hacker attacks. Entrance to the premises of the OzonPress and Čačanske novine editorial office was showered with eggs.

In December, the First Basic Court in Belgrade made a first-instance decision by which the editor of Novosti Andrijana Nešić was declared guilty of the criminal offense of Insult, based on the criminal complaint filed against her by lawyer Zdenko Tomanović. According to the report filed by the correspondent of N1 TV from Niš Milan Stojanović against the employees who prevented him from reporting in February 2022, two employees of the PUK "Naisus" were found guilty in the first instance of committing the criminal offense of Preventing the printing and distribution of printed matter and broadcasting of programs. Jelenko Pijevac, suspected of threatening Insider journalist Nataša Mijušković, was deprived of his liberty in December. The journalist of the Danas daily Uglješa Bokić was invited to give a statement to the police by order of the prosecution because of the publication of parts of the official police memo, the editorial office of that newspaper said.

The company "Starting" withdrew the private criminal complaint against KRIK journalist Sofija Bogosavljev. The Second Basic Court in Belgrade passed a first-instance acquittal verdict in the criminal proceedings initiated by Vladimir Antić, the legal representative of the Rowing Federation of Serbia, against the journalist of the Pištaljka portal Snežana Đurić. The Commercial Appellate Court in Belgrade confirmed the first-instance verdict of the Commercial Court, which rejected the claim of the publisher of the daily newspaper Kurir, that the publisher of the KRIK portal and the publisher of the daily newspaper Danas undertake to compensate the plaintiff for the amount of damage allegedly caused by the publication of the analysis "Front pages 2023: Six newspapers, more than 1150 manipulations" by the Raskrikanje portal. All of the above was discussed in this month's Monitoring of the media scene in Serbia.
