The president of the Council of the Electronic Media Regulatory Body (REM), Olivera Zekić, assessed that the opposition in Serbia “never had as many media” as it does today, but that this does not mean that we should not work on a greater pluralization of the media space .
She rejected as false the allegations by REM members, Judita Popović and Slobodan Cvejić, that she was not elected but appointed chairperson of the REM Council, and claimed that she was not a member of the Serbian Progressive Party, which proposed her for that position.
“I was elected by the votes of the members of the REM Council, no one pushed me aside. There is no talk of trampling democracy when procedure is respected. The REM is freer today than yesterday, at least in politics and there is no one caught up in it. ” “Everyone can go out whenever they want,” Zekic told Kurir.
He added that he had “nothing to do with the government” and that he had never “publicly admired anyone in power.”
Former member of the REM Council, Slobodan Cvejić, evaluated the work of that body as unsuccessful, stating that “all analyzes by both national experts and relevant international organizations indicate that REM is passive and does not perform its basic function, which is to edit the electronic media scene. ” .
Cvejic, who resigned from the REM Council a few days ago, claimed that REM “has good technical and organizational capabilities, as well as qualified employees, but also a problem with the ‘captured’ Council and the management structure.”
