\tDiminished integrity of the Police is trampling on the relations with the media and is preventing proper informing of the public, this is the conclusion of the third panel from the Conference \u201cSecurity Challenges as a Link between the Citizens and Institutions\u201d, organized by the POINTPULSE on the 21 of December 2016, in the Mikser House.<\/p>\n
\tIt was also emphasized that the citizens tend to build their relations towards the Police through personal experience, but also media reporting.<\/p>\n
\tVuk Jeremi\u0107, \u201cDanas\u201d journalists, agreed with this suggestion. He acknowledged that the accessibility of information needs to be equal for everybody, but that it also needs to be limited by other rights, such as the presumption of innocence.<\/p>\n
\tHe also pointed out that in the latest period there is noticeable trend on the MoI\u2019s side in distinguishing between \u201cour\u201d and \u201ctheir\u201d media: \u201cMore often than not, I encounter problems in gaining information, no matter how insignificant it is, since I am perceived as a \u201ctheir\u201d media journalist. Moreover, I was told on multiple occasions by my sources that they had trouble as a result of providing me with certain information\u201d.<\/p>\n

\tInformation leakage from Police investigations is the second biggest problem mentioned by the discussion participants. Georgiev stated that this is not a spontaneous problem- rather, it indicates the existence of cracks in the MoI\u2019s system, as well as the lack of professionalism of certain journalists who are willing to exploit these findings: \u201cAn even greater problem exists when this information is published in its raw form. The number of copies keeps plummeting while everybody seeks to publish an exclusive story, but professionals need to take care of how they are going to handle this piece of information later on. Meanwhile, both politicians and the media benefit from these situations. On the other hand, the public remains a victim.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tDoj\u010dinovi\u0107 also added that information leakage is not necessarily a negative phenomenon, provided that is has gone through a proper checking procedure: \u201cInformation leakage is not the problem- the problem is the distribution of this information. Repeatedly we witness the publication of information on certain businessmen, political opponents, but this is only a media campaign for police actions that would ensue.<\/p>\n
