As part of the national campaign Support for Print Media in Montenegro, the editorial offices of Dan, Vijesti and Pobjeda joined the celebration of Europe Day today, in the University Park in Podgorica, where they participated in the central celebration organized by the Delegation of the European Union to Montenegro and the Ministry of European Affairs, with the support of partners and EU projects.

Europe Day is celebrated as a symbol of peace, cooperation, solidarity and common European values, and this year's celebration throughout Montenegro, through culture, art and meetings with citizens, reminds of the importance of togetherness, understanding and open dialogue in modern society.

That is why part of the program is dedicated to the importance of professional journalism and print media, as an important space for verified information, public dialogue and an informed society.

During the event, visitors could download free copies of daily newspapers, as well as relaxation notebooks for adults and special puzzles called "Verified Information Connects European Citizens", designed as a symbol of the connection between European values, media literacy and responsible information.

Through conversations with citizens, representatives of the editorial offices spoke about how news is created, why verified information is important, and why print media still play an important role in an era of fast and often unverified content.

They particularly focused on the role of print media in the fight against corruption in education and the role of investigative articles on the topic published in Vijesti.

Reading newspapers today is not just about getting information, but also a conscious choice to support media that work in the public interest, verify information, and respect professional standards. By buying and reading daily newspapers, citizens directly support the work of journalists, editors, and photojournalists who work every day to accurately and responsibly inform the public.

The campaign Support for Print Media in Montenegro aims to raise awareness about the importance of professional, responsible and editorially independent journalism, as well as to encourage citizens to recognize the value of print media as a reliable source of information and an important part of a democratic society.

The event in Podgorica is part of a series of activities organized throughout Montenegro, with the intention of bringing journalism closer to citizens - through meetings, conversations and direct communication.
