Skopje, 28 July 2023 – The Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services most strongly condemns the obstruction of the Telma TV news reporting crew’s reporting on yesterday’s session of the Judicial Council, which had experts of the EU Peer Review Mission participating.
Journalists and media teams should be given free access to all events, considering their role in informing the public on matters of public interest and in ensuring transparency and accountability of the public authorities.
It is the job of media workers to do reporting always and from everywhere, while the institutions have an obligation not to hinder this right of theirs, so as to protect the freedom of reporting and public information.
