ONASA: What do you think about the role and importance of independent journalism in BiH and how important it is for the development of a democratic society?
TEGELTIJA: Free media and independent reporting are one of the basic pillars of democracy in any society. In this sense, media independence is extremely important, be it political, economic, or any other, because only in this way can a media completely objectively report on all topics important to a society. I am of the opinion that the media should take on a greater educational role in society, especially when it comes to the area of taxes, income and finances in general.
