The Media Council for Self-Regulation expresses serious concern about yesterday's summoning of the columnist Duško Kovačević to an informative interview with the police due to a published column and public criticism of state authorities, and warns that a pattern is increasingly being established in Montenegro in which the word of a journalist is viewed as a problem and not as the foundation of a democratic society.
The Media Council for Self-Regulation expresses serious concern regarding the statement of the director of the Police Administration, Lazar Šćepanović, who, during a guest appearance on the show, told journalist Petar Komnenić that "he will be prosecuted after this for the insult" and threatened him for using a stylistic figure with which he described the work of the institution.
The Media Council for Self-Regulation strongly condemns the statement of the director of the National Library "Stevan Samardžić", because messages like "be careful what you write" send a very bad and worrying message to the journalists and to the public.
The Media Council for Self-Regulation congratulates the media and the journalists on the Journalists' Day in Montenegro.
