OSCE welcomes Montenegrin journalists' draft code of ethics

In her meeting on July 6 with Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, the representative also stressed measures to strengthen media self-regulation and the fight to end impunity for attacks against journalists in the country.

“Journalists’ safety will always be my priority, it is essential that all attacks against journalists, including the murder of Dusko Jovanovic, are fully investigated and perpetrators and masterminds brought to justice”, Mijatovic said following her meeting with Djukanovic.

The representative stressed that she welcomed the Prime Minister’s commitment to improve journalists’ safety and media freedom, and his support to her efforts in Montenegro.

On 6 July, a working group composed of representatives of the Media Council for Self-regulation, the daily newspapers Dan and Vijesti and the weekly newspaper Monitor, completed the revised draft of the Code of Ethics and opened it for public consultation. The Code has been developed with the assistance of experts from the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and with support from the Council of Europe.

“Adoption of this Code also has a political dimension, as it is part of the process of confidence-building between the media actors,” Mijatovic said. “I congratulate the members of the working group on this important achievement and their engagement to strengthen self-regulation going forward.”
