Serbia's REM imposes sanctions on TV Informer and TV Kurir
The Serbian Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) has issued multiple sanctions against several television broadcasters following a session on November 10, 2026.
TV Informer received several penalties, including a five-day advertising ban during prime time (18:00 to 21:00) and bans on specific programming formats. The show “Kolegijum” was banned for periods of 10 and 15 days due to violations of reporting regulations and insults directed at REM Council members. Additionally, the station received a warning for failing to label pre-election programming correctly.
TV Kurir was sanctioned with a one-day ban on its “Dnevnik” program and a two-day ban on its “Vesti” program for violations of the Law on Electronic Media and human rights protection regulations.
Other measures included a one-day advertising ban for TV Prva and a warning for TV V5 regarding the re-broadcasting of Informer TV content. Dragan J. Vučićević, editor-in-chief of TV Informer, has challenged these decisions, labeling them unconstitutional and politically motivated.
