Freedom House's 2009 annual report noted that journalists in the Balkans are frequently threatened with violence -- reporters in Bulgaria and Croatia were murdered in 2008 -- and media organs across the region routinely practice self-censorship.
U godišnjem izveštaju Fridom Hausa za 2009. godinu ukazuje se da se novinarima na Balkanu često preti nasiljem -- novinari u Bugarskoj i Hrvatskoj ubijeni su 2008 -- a medijski organi širom regiona rutinski praktikuju autocenzuru.
