                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Do the Serbian people know the truth or just Slob&#039;s propaganda?  <BR> <BR> Government attacks on the Serbian-language press picked up throughout 1998, especially towards the end of the year. The government maintained direct control of the state radio and television, which provided news for the majority of the population. State programs continued to glorify the government’s accomplishments, conceal its failures and, most importantly, manipulate the fears of the population. As was the case during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, the state-run radio and <BR> television purposefully spread disinformation about Kosovo and promoted images of “the enemy” intended to inflame the conflict.  <BR> <BR> Independent media faced serious restrictions, including the confiscation of radio equipment and  <BR> arbitrary bans. On October 8, in response to the threat of NATO intervention, the Serbian government passed a Decree on Special Measures that allowed for the direct censorship of local and foreign media. The decree banned the broadcast of foreign news programs like the BBC, RFE, and VOA, and ordered local media not to disseminate material that was “against the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of the country.” On the basis of the decree, the police closed down two newspapers, Danas and Dnevni Telegraf, and confiscated their computers on <BR> October 13. The next day, the independent daily Naša Borba was also closed. Two radio stations, Radio Index and Radio Senta, were also shut down.  <BR> <BR> On October 20, the Serbian parliament adopted a new Law on Public Information that incorporated many of the restrictions from the special decree, notably a ban on foreign radio and television broadcasts that were “of a political-propaganda nature.” <BR> The law imposed exorbitantly high fines on those who breach the law. On October 23, the owner of Dnevni Telegraf and Evropljanin magazine, Slavko Curuvija, was charged with publicizing information “jeopardizing the territorial integrity and independence of the Republic of Serbia and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia” because of an open letter <BR> to Milosevic published by his magazine that strongly criticized the government. He and the magazines’s editor and publisher were found guilty and fined $230,000.  <BR> <BR> The least obvious but highly effective restriction on the media was the deliberate <BR> lack of a coherent legal framework for the establishment of private radio and television stations, which the government used to justify the denial of broadcast licenses. Without a license, stations could be summarily closed down, as happened to at least four stations in 1998.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[ANEM Press Release <BR> <BR>     PROMINENT INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST SLAVKO CURUVIJA MURDERED <BR> <BR>     BELGRADE, April 12, 1999 -- The Association of Independent Electronic Media in Yugoslavia (ANEM) today expresses deep regret at and strong condemnation of the murder during the afternoon of April 11 of Slavko Curuvija, the proprietor and   editor-in-chief of the prominent Yugoslav newspaper "Dnevni telegraf" and the biweekly magazine "Evropljanin". <BR> <BR>     While the murder of Mr. Curuvija has served to increase already high levels of fear among the journalistic community in the FRYugoslavia, the circumstances surrounding Mr. Curuvija&#039;s death have also given rise to a deep sense of alarm among the citizens of Yugoslavia. Moreover, the <BR>demonisation of the independent media, and the grotesque accusations which are being levied against those who work for independent media, is tantamount to calling for the public lynching of journalists. <BR> <BR>     ANEM notes that Mr Curuvija&#039;s publications and he as a  person have been the prime target of a state campaign of persecution, which was launched under the guise of Serbia&#039;s draconian October 1998 Information Act. <BR> <BR>     On October 24 1998, only three days after the Act took effect, Mr Curuvija and Evropljanin were ordered by a Belgrade court to pay fines totalling 2,400,000 dinars under the misdemeanour regulations of the Act. <BR> <BR>     On November 9 and December 9, 1998, Dnevni Telegraf was fined a total of 1,650,000 dinars. As if the financial ruin of Mr Curuvija were not enough, he and two colleagues were each given a five-month suspended prison sentence on March     8, 1999. <BR> <BR>     Just a couple of days before his murder, Mr Curuvija was referred to by name in an attack on "national traitors" in the state-controlled Belgrade daily "Politika ekspres".  <BR>     This commentary remarked that Mr Curuvija had "vanished from sight" since the beginning of NATO bombing and that his "services for the &#039; aggressor would never be forgotten". <BR> <BR>     To the best of ANEM&#039;s knowledge, Mr Curuvija was consistently opposed to NATO&#039;s military intervention in Yugoslavia in all his public appearances and contacts, and repeatedly warned of the far-reaching and fatal consequences of such action by NATO. His attitude remained unchanged once <BR>     the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began. ANEM emphasises that the murder of Slavko Curuvija was the murder of a good and loyal citizen of Serbia and Yugoslavia who used his skills as a journalist to further the interests of his country and his people. <BR> <BR>     ANEM demands that the appropriate agencies bring the murderers of Mr Curuvija to justice as soon as possible and do all in their power to prevent divisions and  confrontations among the people of this country. <BR> <BR> <BR>     The Association of Independent Electronic Media in Yugoslavia (ANEM)]]></content:encoded>
