The Independent Journalists' Association of Vojvodina (NDNV)

The Independent Journalists' Association of Vojvodina (NDNV) condemns the campaign against writers and intellectuals led by "obscure tabloids" which "reminds of the atmosphere of the nineties". The Association's press statement says that the "media hysteria exhibited by media outlets which call themselves 'daily newspapers' and seek for enemies has resulted in a conflict with 'foreign traitors', personified by actress and director Angelina Jolie and singer Shakira, who have been labeled 'enemies of Serbdom'". NDNV claims that "such obscure media outlets are obviously following instructions of their political and marketing (hidden) owners".

The Republic Broadcasting Agency (RRA)

The Republic Broadcasting Agency (RRA) will reconsider the fate of the regional frequency for broadcasting of the programme of TV Jedinstvo from Novi Pazar, because the founder of the media company and the holder of the broadcasting licens, AD "Jedinstvo", is now bankrupted. The manager of the TV station, Serif Marukic, says that TV Jedinstvo has been operating since 1 April 2009 as a separate legal entity, and that contracts and the founding statute define the obligations toward the founder.

Marukic is of the opinion that a political and media campaign is being conducted against this TV station in Novi Pazar, despite the fact that the Council has not made any decision.
