The struggle without internal procedures and with (in)adequate institutional support 

The research “The Other Side of the Journalism Medal”, presented to the public by the Association for Sustainable Development (UZOR) in late November, has proven with numbers what all relevant bodies dealing with the issue of media workers’ safety have been warning about — that every second journalist in Montenegro faces pressures while performing their job, and as many as 62.1% of journalists have witnessed situations in which their colleagues were victims of pressure.

This is yet another signal that, despite certain legal advances and a quantitative reduction in attacks on journalists, this issue has been undermining the foundations of media community safety for years.
