"Freedom of media calls for tireless efforts"

Head of the working group in charge of Serbia's OSCE presidency Dejan Sahovic said that Serbia, as the chair, identified this sector as one of the priorities and is preparing draft documents on freedom of expression which will be presented in December ahead of the final event of Serbia's OSCE chairmanship.

Serbian Ombudsman Sasa Jankovic believes that the situation concerning media freedoms in the region and this part of Europe is very bad and added that better protection of media employees is necessary.

He noted that journalists are not adequately protected and added that this is the reason why many are renouncing their principles and give in to censorship and auto-censorship.

Deputy Head of OSCE Mission to Serbia Michael Uyehara said that the freedom of expression is a key to freedom and democracy and it calls for action of all parts of the society, not only professionals.

The debate at the conference will be used to prepare the Belgrade declaration on freedom of expression which should be adopted in December.
