Miloš Mašković, president of the European Alliance club in the Capital City Assembly, expressed concern over reports from employees at the city RTV about organized pressures and blackmail. Employees claim they are pressured to sign initiatives that are later used against those who point out irregularities in the public broadcaster’s work. Mašković emphasized that this constitutes a serious violation of fundamental labor and human rights, as well as freedom of expression and union activity. He called on relevant local and state institutions to urgently protect employees from all forms of institutional and non-institutional repression. This situation is particularly alarming at a time when media freedom and workers’ rights are under significant pressure.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning reports emphasize the violation of workers’ rights and the suppression of freedom of expression within a public institution. They highlight the need for institutional protection of employees and frame the issue as part of a broader struggle for labor rights and media freedom.
Center: Center-leaning coverage focuses on the factual reporting of the allegations of pressure and blackmail at the city RTV. It stresses the importance of upholding legal and ethical standards in public media and calls for investigations and institutional responses without strong political bias.
Right: Right-leaning narratives may emphasize the misuse of union activities and internal conflicts within the public broadcaster. They might question the motives behind the accusations and stress the need for maintaining order and professionalism in public institutions, sometimes downplaying the claims of pressure.
