Her work is predominately focused on investigating crime and corruption within the Serbian political power.<\/p>\n<p>The situation for media freedoms have deteriorated significantly over the last couple of years in Serbia, and incidents where journalists and the independent media have been intimidated, threatened and subjected to violence have increased over the past several months. During the first half of 2017, the Independent Journalists\u2019 Association of Serbia recorded 19 physical and verbal threats to journalists, including four physical assaults, 14 verbal assaults and one violation of property.<\/p>\n<p>On numerous occasions, investigative journalists, including KRIK employees, have been subjected to smear campaigns in the Serbian government-controlled tabloids. In the majority of the cases, no legal consequences have followed for the perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCivil Rights Defenders urges the Serbian authorities to investigate the case of Dragana Peco and all other cases of threats and violence against journalists in the country. The government must work to protect freedom of expression and public information in accordance with the international standards that Serbia has obliged to follow\u201d, said Goran Miletic, Programme Director of the Europe Department at Civil Rights Defenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 7 July, prominent journalist Dragana Peco\u2019s apartment was broken into while she was not at home.
