Potpredsjednica Asocijacije nezavisnih novinara Srbije Jelka Jovanović izjavila je da je zakonom "otvoren put za uredničku cenzuru i novinarsku autocenzuru, posebno s obzirom na atmosferu straha stvorenu tokom usvajanja zakona".
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".
