About N1 Serbia

Independent Center-leftRead with context

N1 Serbia is a 24-hour cable news channel launched in 2014 and operates as a CNN International affiliate. It is part of United Group, a major telecommunications and media provider in Southeast Europe. The majority owner of United Group is the investment fund BC Partners, with Dragan Šolak holding a minority stake.

N1 Serbia is widely recognized as one of the few independent media outlets in the country, frequently facing pressure and smear campaigns from government officials who label it as 'opposition' or 'foreign-controlled.' Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) have consistently highlighted the hostile environment N1 journalists operate in, including physical and verbal attacks. While some sources describe N1 as 'left-leaning and mostly supported pro-EU opposition,' United Group has publicly affirmed its commitment to N1's editorial independence despite recent management changes and concerns about potential political interference. The outlet's reporting often covers topics critical of the government, reflecting its independent stance in a polarized media landscape.
