The EP thus called upon Serbia's officials to be consistent in public condemnation of any intimidation of journalists and to stay away from interfering with the media work, including the election campaigns.
The report emphasised the importance of “the opposition work in a democracy." It says that “the opposition leaders should not be subjected to slender.”
It also warns that “some politicians’ public rhetorics are misused to galvanised the rise of radicalism.”
