Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia Vice-President Jelka Jovanovic said the law "opened the way for editorial censorship and journalistic auto-censorship, especially given the atmosphere of fear created during the law's adoption".
Jelka Jovanović, potpredsjednica Udruženja nezavisnih novinara Srbije, rekla je kako je zakon "otvarao put uredničkoj cenzuri i samocenzuri novinara, posebice s obzirom na atmosferu straha stvorenu tijekom usvajanja zakona".
