Serbia's REM launches investigations into several TV stations
The Serbian Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) has initiated investigative proceedings against four television stations: Informer, Kurir, B92, and K1. These actions stem from allegations of violating media reporting rules and election silence during the pre-election campaign.
Specifically, TV Informer faces multiple investigations, including 26 reports regarding election silence violations and allegations of broadcasting a disguised election program during the program ‘Srpski dnevnik’. TV Kurir is under investigation for its ‘Puls Srbije’ broadcast, K1 for ‘Uranak’, and B92 for its ‘Vesti’ program.
Regarding TV N1, the Council determined that jurisdiction lies with the regulator in Luxembourg, where the station is registered. Additionally, REM decided not to launch proceedings against TV Tanjug regarding the use of the term ‘blokaderi’, nor against K1 for a separate report concerning its news program on October 4.
