The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network called on the Serbian police and prosecution on Thursday to take action after BIRN Serbia editor Slobodan Georgiev was vilified in an online video.

On the evening of September 21, 1999, they responded to the call. A side door was opened, on a bedroom floor they found killed Momir Stokuca, a photo reporter and an associate of Politika (daily newspaper).

Since then, the police have not dealt with this murder. There was never any investigation launched.

Cvetkovic has been reported missing on the night between 13 and 14 of June 2018 in the Vojvodina town of Bela Crkva. Local police confirmed that journalists car was found parked with doors open and light on. Witnesses confirmed that his wristwatch was found with the bracelet broken next to it, and mobile phones switched off.

He was killed on December 2nd, 1998, in Prishtina, in the Sunny Hill neighborhood, and according to the Journalists' Association of Serbia (UNS), an investigation into this crime is not conducted either by the authorities in Belgrade nor in Prishtina.

When Baze mentioned the murdered journalist Enver Maloku, Syla implicitly made him aware that "they" did it. Nevertheless, he underlines that in the context of the event this was not a recognition of murder, but an attempt to intimidate.

Serbia's iconic daily newspaper, Politika, has been accused of using made-up commentators to promote misogyny after publishing an anti-feminist article allegedly written by a scientist, but illustrated with the photograph of a German actor.

The commentary accused feminists of using the recent murders of two women at the hands of their ex-husbands to spread "propaganda".
