POLICE STILL WORKING ON MURDERS OF JOURNALISTS

JAGODINA, December 8, 2005 (Beta) - Serbian Police General Miroslav Milosevic said the police would continue to investigate Curuvija and Pantic murders.

Deputy Police Minister and Chief of the Police Public Security said the murders of journalists Slavko Curuvija and Miroslav Pantic would be investigated "until the tenable evidence" were obtained.

Speaking at the press conference in Jagodina, Milosevic pointed out to the considerable work done in Pantic case, which revealed some additional criminal activities and resulted in taking into custody several suspects from the wanted lists.


SELF-REGULATION OF MEDIA

BELGRADE, December 9, 2005 (Beta) - A round table on self-regulation of media was held today in Belgrade.

The self-regulation of the media can be achieved by the joint code of ethics of the relevant journalists' associations and the setting up of the Media Council, said the participants of the conference.

The coordinator for legal initiatives of the Human Rights Committee Dejan Milenkovic said the joint code and media council were essential for creating an appropriate ethical frame in journalism.

Member of the Media Council and Editor-in-Chief of the Beta News Agency Dragan Janjic said the Association of the Serbian Journalists (UNS) and Independent Association of the Serbian Journalists (NUNS) were jointly working on the creation of the code, which should be done by the end of this year.

President of the Association of Serbian Journalists Ninoslav Brajovic said the self-regulation was perhaps the only way for improvement of the ethical standards and prevention of unethical media.


RUSSIAN TV HACKED

MOSCOW, December 13, 2005 (Beta) - Hackers have succeeded in blocking the program broadcast of the Kremlin TV station in English language.

"One of our computer systems was hacked and infected with viruses which blocked our program", said the Russia Today TV channel chief editor Margarita Simonian.

Simonian could not say when the broadcast of the program would continue, but added that the technical staff was working on it.

Russia Today television was envisaged as a station which broadcast their program in English from the Russian perspective and represented the attempt of Kremlin to reflect the reporting of the foreign media on Russia, which the official Moscow considered to be bias and too critical.
