Rokvić: Returning independent candidates to REM would be a huge victory

Ivana Rokvić, vice-president of the People's Movement of Serbia, declared that reinstating independent candidates to the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) would represent a major triumph. She underscored the prolonged struggle to establish a fully functional REM, noting that 613 days have passed without the body operating effectively. Rokvić stressed that the REM plays a crucial role in ensuring media pluralism and independence within Serbia. The current composition of the REM has faced criticism for allegedly favoring pro-government outlets and lacking diverse representation. The People's Movement of Serbia advocates for a REM that reflects a broader spectrum of media interests and upholds democratic principles in broadcasting regulation. Their efforts aim to ensure fair media practices and prevent the concentration of media power.

The fight for REM has been going on for too long, and today it is the 613th day that we do not have this body.
