Questioning media pluralism and media monopoly in Serbia

Ministry of Information and Telecommunication, October – March 2025

With the aim of determining the violation of media pluralism and the existence of a monopoly on publishing of information, ideas and opinions in the media in Serbia, the NSSJ will conduct research on the analysis of media reporting and the activities of the Regulatory body for electronic media (REM) and the Ministry.

The research will include a quantitative-qualitative and comparative-cross analysis of the media discourse in the central news broadcasts of selected media in relation to the ownership of the given media and desk research based on secondary sources on the activities of REM and the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications.

The results of the research will be presented in a publication which will define, based on the findings, recommendations for improving practice in this area.

The research itself, with its results and recommendations, will be presented at a round table in Belgrade, as well as in traditional media and social networks.
