Non-governmental organizations LGBT Forum Progres and LGBTIQ Social Center strongly condemn the brutal attack on the editor and journalist of the Standard portal Milica Minić, which happened on August 19 on Ratac beach in Bar, these non-governmental organizations announced.
"Attacks on journalists and media representatives, which have become frequent in Montenegro, represent an attack on the foundations of a free and democratic society, which we have been pointing out for many years. Such crimes should not and cannot be tolerated. The recent attack on journalist Milica Minic, which our organizations highly value and respect due to the contribution it made in the fight for the human rights of LGBTIQ persons, has clearly shown that Montenegro is today a society in which representatives of the media are "easy targets" and that no one can guarantee their safety and security," states the statement signed by Bojana Jokić and John M.
"In this way, we provide full public support to Milica Minić, and we appeal to the competent institutions to do their work efficiently and responsibly, so that the perpetrator of this heinous attack will be held accountable before the face of justice and the law. We once again tell all journalists to persevere in their work and efforts , because that is the only way to a free and democratic society," the announcement concludes.
