For media freedom

The group came together in support of Vranjske – one of the country’s most important local media outlets, which was shut down due to unbearable political and economic pressures. The shutdown of these newspaper and the hunger strike of its owner and editor-in-chief Vukasin Obradovic, are symbols of the situation in which the vast majority of other independent media in Serbia find themselves, as well as the freedom of the media as a whole.

This group also represents the response of the citizens of Serbia to the constant collapse of freedom of the media and freedom of expression, at the national and local level. The group is open to the involvement of all interested media, organizations and individuals. The group will organize joint actions in order to fight for Vranjske and freedom of media and freedom of expression, and will inform the domestic and international public about the violation of media freedom in Serbia. The group will inform the public in a timely manner about plans, further steps and ways of acting.
