Urgent action needed against #SLAPPs.
It's also #OurWar.

Serbien hat nach einem EU-Bericht wenig Fortschritte bei der Pressefreiheit gemacht. Die Gründe: Angriffe auf Medienschaffende, russische Propaganda, ungenügende Medienregulierung und viele #SLAPPs. Wir fordern Belgrad auf, die Kritik ernst zu nehmen. www.reporter-ohne-grenzen.de/pressemittei...
