The election of the new REM Council members is turning into a full-blown scandal! After a grueling six-hour debate in the Committee for Culture and Information, the drama is far from over. The candidate list includes big names like Antonela Riha, Rodoljub Šabić, and Bojan Bilbija, but things are anything but smooth. Serbia’s Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabić is personally involved in talks about withdrawing candidates, adding fuel to the fire.
The committee approved a candidate list proposed by associations advocating for freedom of expression. However, the proposal from the Association of Digital Electronic Media (ADEM) was rejected — meaning Milanko Govedarica is off the list! Is this censorship or just political games? Candidates backed by independent journalist unions, such as Đorđe Vlajić, Mileva Malešić, and Maja Mišković Marković, are now in the spotlight.
All this unfolds amid growing public concerns about transparency and fairness in the election of the regulatory body overseeing electronic media. Will the REM Council truly be independent and free from political influence? Or is this just another show for the public? The Committee for Culture and Information continues its work, and we’re watching every move and every objection closely.
Think this is just another boring political procedure? Think again! This drama has all the ingredients of a thriller — from international organizations to personal conflicts and candidate withdrawals. So, what do you think? Is the REM Council election squeaky clean or one big farce? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s on whose side!
