Skopje, 8 March 2018 – the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services condemns most sharply the threats against the President of the Macedonian Journalists’ Association (ZNM), Naser Selmani. He threats against and attacks on journalists are absolutely unacceptable and undermine democracy and the right of the public to objective and professional information. Such incidents contribute to weakening the freedom of the media and their capability to provide free and independent reporting.
The Agency appeals to allow journalists to perform their duties unhindered and free from any threats or pressures whatsoever.
