Unequal treatment between journalists and political officials in cases of endangerment of safety, lawsuits against media outlets that rarely violate the Journalists’ Code of Ethics are less successful than the lawsuits against tabloids
The research of Slavko Ćuruvija Foundation and the Centre for Judicial Research (CEPRIS) showed that the number of cases of endangerment of the safety of the President of Serbia ending in court is two times higher than the cases of endangering of journalists’ safety. The second regular report on the protection of freedom of speech in the judicial system of Serbia – “Freedom of Expression before the Court” takes into consideration final and binding judgments regarding the criminal offence of the endangerment of safety. One of the conclusions of the report is that the judiciary failed to ensure equal treatment of all citizens before the law.
