Serbia's attacks on journalists and journalism require a firm response from the EU. @BalkanFreeMedia.
The BFMI urges the European Commission, especially President Ursula von der Leyen, ahead of her upcoming meeting with the Serbian president, to adopt a firm and unambiguous stance. Media freedom must be an uncompromising condition for Serbia’s EU membership journey.

Already renowned for the Ox-Cam collaboration that led to the Oxford AZ vaccine, the scientists of the region are creating one of the top medical hotspots in the world. This is the true vision for The Arc, not the outdated and rejected aim of 1m new homes.

Raucous takedown by @johnsweeneyroar of Blair family involvement in one of the more questionable regimes in Europe -Serbia. All the more surprising for Blairs to be working with a President who once edited a book entitled "English Gay Fart Tony Blair". @BalkanFreeMedia @N1info.
Tony Blair, Cherie Blair, Serbia's dark regime and the mob. Read my story in @BylineTimes @BalkanFreeMedia.

The once respected @Euronews risks losing its way as it enters into questionable partnerships in countries with poor commitment to media freedom. The EU and European public broadcasters who fund and own Euronews should be asking tough questions. @BalkanFreeMedia @EU_Commission.
In an open letter, @BalkanFreeMedia called on @EU_Commission and 20 public service broadcasters to review their relationship with Euronews following the company’s decision to enter, what they call, problematic partnerships in Bulgaria and Serbia. Bkgd:.
