Journalists and media workers in Serbia are experiencing record levels of physical violence, death threats, and online smear campaigns, particularly those covering protests and elections. Organizations like CPJ, MFRR, and SJN have expressed serious concern over the escalating violence and called on Serbian authorities to guarantee journalists' safety ahead of the October 25 elections. There have been 157 attacks this year, with many incidents occurring in the presence of witnesses. Previous elections were also marred by violence against journalists. The international community, including the EU, is urged to pressure Serbian authorities to implement protective measures and investigate attacks.
