But there is a limit to what SEEMO can do.Ultimately, journalists rely on better legal protection of their rights, greater awareness of their role in scrutinising government, and support from the police.And the police are often reluctant to get involved.Three years after Serbian journalist Slavko Curivija was gunned down outside his home, his killers have still not been found.
Međutim, ne može ni SEEMO baš sve. Na kraju krajeva, prava novinara moraju da budu bolje pravno zaštićena, njihova svest o tome da imaju ulogu da nadgledaju aktivnosti vlasti mora se povećati i novinari sami moraju imati podršku policije, koja često ne želi da se angažuje. Tri godine pošto je ispred svoje zgrade ubijen srpski novinar Slavko Ćuruvija, ubice još nisu pronađene.
