Serbian media union warns SLAPPs part of systemic pressure on critical journalism

The Independent Union of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) alleges that strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) are being used as a broader tool to pressure critical media, with even a single case threatening local outlets' survival. The claim is sourced from NUNS, a journalists' association, and reflects ongoing concerns about media freedom in Serbia. This matters as it signals a potential deterioration in the legal environment for independent journalism in a EU-candidate country.
