Further material assistance is also planned for Radio Television Montenegro (RTCG), the public service broadcaster, as well as other media houses in Montenegro.

“Providing technical equipment further enhances journalistic skills and output. This approach is in line with identified training needs of the media houses and consistent with the Mission’s long-term strategy to support free, independent and pluralistic media in Montenegro,” said Maryse Daviet, Head of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro.

The Mission expresses its appreciation to Marijana Bojanić, Executive Director of Vijesti, for her co-operation with the Mission, particularly inidentifying current training needs and supporting the organization of training courses for staff.

OSCE Mission to Serbia adapts its support to Serbia’s changing needs during COVID-19 pandemic

OSCE - Wed, 05/06/2020 - 12:57
451153 Ivana Milatovic, OSCE Mission to Serbia OSCE Media Freedom Representative and OSCE Head of Mission to Serbia welcome reversal by Serbian Government of decision on public information OSCE Media Freedom Representative and OSCE Head of Mission to Serbia stress importance of free access to information, following new Government decision "Selfish approaches would only cast a dark shadow on the future of Europe"

To help Serbia face the challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the OSCE Mission to Serbia immediately adapted its support to meet the country’s needs.

The Mission provided first aid kits to the shelter for victims of trafficking of human beings (THB) and to socially disadvantaged persons in south Serbia, including migrants, on 30 April 2020.

As the Mission focuses particularly on the most vulnerable groups, a similar donation for citizens in need in southwest Serbia will soon follow.

“In the short term, we redirected some of our funds to provide first aid kits,” said Andrea Orizio, the Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia. “In the long term, we remain focused on the work we are carrying out in the crucial areas of our mandate, such as the implementation of the Media Strategy through its Action plan, the protection of the safety of journalists, and strengthening the Interior Ministry’s operational capacities for regional co-operation in the fight against human trafficking.”

Orizio said that the Mission stands ready to assist in assessing the impact of this extraordinary period on crucial issues. “Human rights, gender equality, domestic violence, or the fight against corruption, is what we are focusing on, deepening our partnership with all stakeholders, including civil society, while helping Serbia take ownership of these achievements,” said Orizio.

The OSCE Mission to Serbia will continue to adapt to the changing needs of the host country’s institutions and civil society organizations. The Mission will implement its assistance in several areas, including: providing psychological support to persons with intellectual and mental disabilities; providing personal protection equipment for partner institutions; enabling virtual meetings of stakeholders involved in the protection of THB victims and combating human smuggling; supporting Roma families in informal Belgrade settlements; assisting local self-governments in providing training on the official use of minority languages and developing  a gender analysis of Serbia’s COVID-19 response.

All the initiatives are part of the Mission’s comprehensive effort to help Serbia in its humanitarian and institutional response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
