Stojimo uz Verana Matića

Izvor: Bezbedninovinari

Mi, nekadašnji zaposleni i saradnici B92, zahtevamo hitan prekid kampanje mržnje medija bliskih vlasti protiv Verana Matića, koji je ceo život posvetio promociji slobode medija, zaštiti novinara i medijskih profesionalaca.

Nedavno je na televizijama sa nacionalnim frekvencijama emitovan propagandni video uradak o Veranu u produkciji Centra za društvenu stabilnost. Ovaj “film” po rukopisu, tonu i metodu targetiranja podseća na spotove, tekstove i emisije koji su prethodili ubistvima Slavka Ćuruvije, Zorana Đinđića i Olivera Ivanovića. Još više uznemiruje činjenica da je nakon emitovanja na prorežimskim glasilima poput Informera, TV Prva i nizu lokalnih medija, izostala reakcija tužilaštva i nadležnih institucija.

Državni zvaničnici nisu samo propustili da osude javno targetiranje, već su svojim ćutanjem praktično podržali odmazdu i kampanju protiv Matića. Istovremeno, autori video uradka otvoreno pretnjom u javnosti naglašavaju da su tek počeli i da spisak daljih žrtava ovog klevetničkog orgijanja postoji. Mi im poručujemo da nas nijedan spisak za odstrel neće uplašiti. Naprotiv. Državu i sve njene institucije upozoravamo da je poslednji trenutak da reaguju.

Veran je branio slobodno novinarstvo u vremenu najvećih ratnih sukoba, autoritarnih režima, pretnji, napada i pokušaja da se malobrojni tadašnji nezavisni mediji uguše. Čini to i danas. Zahvalni smo mu što nikada u redakciji i studiju nije tražio poslušnost, već hrabrost, nije tolerisao autocenzuru, već je zahtevao integritet. Stvarao je prostor u kojem je javni interes bio iznad svega – iznad karijera, iznad straha, iznad političkih računica. Veran Matić je omogućio generacijama novinara da postavljaju pitanja koja nijedna vlast nije htela da čuje. Štitio nas je – konkretno, svakodnevno, fizički, lično – često po cenu sopstvene sigurnosti.

Zato smo bili i ostajemo uz Verana.

 

We Stand With Veran Matić

The reaction of former employees and associates of the ex RTV B92 to the continuous attacks on Veran Matić

We, former employees and collaborators of B92, demand the immediate cessation of the campaign of hatred by pro-government media against Veran Matić, who has dedicated his entire life to promoting press freedom and protecting journalists and media professionals.

Recently, a propagandistic video targeting Veran was broadcast on national television channels, produced by the Center for Social Stability. This “film”, in its style, tone, and targeting method, resembles the spots, texts, and programs that preceded the assassinations of journalist and publisher Slavko Ćuruvija, Prime Minister Zoran Djindjić, and oposition leader Oliver Ivanović. Even more alarming is the fact that after airing on pro-regime outlets such as Informer, TV Prva, and a number of local media, there was no reaction from the prosecutor’s office or relevant institutions.

State officials not only failed to publicly condemn this targeting, but by remaining silent, they effectively endorsed the reprisal campaign against Matić. At the same time, the authors of the video openly emphasize in public threats that they have only just begun and that a list of further victims of this defamatory spree exists. We tell them that no hit list will scare us. On the contrary. We warn the state and all its institutions that this is the last moment to act.

Veran defended independent journalism during the most intense periods of war, authoritarian regimes, threats, attacks, and attempts to silence the few independent media at the time. He continues to do so today.

We are grateful that he never demanded obedience in the newsroom or studio, only courage; he did not tolerate self-censorship, but demanded integrity. He created a space where the public interest was above all – above careers, above fear, above political calculations. Veran Matić enabled generations of journalists to ask questions that no government wanted to hear. He protected us – concretely, daily, physically, personally – often at the cost of his own safety.

That is why we have stood and continue to stand with Veran.
