Serbian Journalists Rally Against Media Suppression

Dozens of journalists staged a protest on Wednesday, blocking traffic outside the office of Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic. They aimed to highlight escalating attacks and pressure on the media in the country.

The protest, held in Belgrade, was prompted by incidents during recent local elections, where journalists covering the events faced violence. This further amplified the concerns of media suppression under the current administration.

Authorities have vowed to investigate, yet only a few assailants have faced consequences, fueling tensions in Serbia, a candidate for EU membership, as it navigates broader accusations of democratic backsliding.
