SARAJEVO, MAY 4 (ONASA) – On World Media Freedom Day, I wish all media workers and journalists in Bosnia and Herzegovina better working conditions, work without any pressure and awareness of the importance of objective reporting, on which citizens’ perception of the most important topics also depends. said the Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the leader of the SDP. Nermin Nikšić on social networks.
As he added, no policy can influence the work of journalists, unless it is allowed.
– No one can and should not forbid you to do your job honorably and honestly. You yourself, within the journalistic community, know best all the problems you face, and if something needs to be fixed, you are certainly the first to be called upon to take measures to preserve the dignity of the guild.
Of course, there will always be those who are dissatisfied, but any dissatisfaction should only be resolved in the manner established by law, never by pressure. Neither politicians should be journalists nor journalists politicians. We need only mutual respect. Freedom of expression and media activity is one of the basic postulates of a democratic society and there is no doubt that we should all strive for it. The only objective, healthy critical journalism devoid of personal biases and interests is what our society needs – said Nikšić. (end)
