ASNE on the move

Serb, Croatian
treatment of journalists

In a letter to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, ASNE president Sandy Rowe has expressed ASNE’s "strong concerns regarding abuse of press freedoms in the territories of the former Yugoslavia as defined by the Dayton Accords."

The ASNE president wrote, "Journalists, both local and foreign, have been harassed, detained, threatened with arrest and sometimes beaten, particularly in Serb- and Croatian-controlled areas.

"Obviously, these practices are detrimental to the peace process and a violation of the spirit and letter of the Dayton Accords."
