Together with his colleagues, this longtime journalist and publicist had founded a \u201cSolidarity Fund\u201d intended for journalists who were deprived of their livelihood because of their courage and veracity.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tCINS and KRIK were handed the award by <strong>Sanja Kljaji\u0107<\/strong>, last year\u2019s winner of the award and member of the panel, and <strong>Milena Njamcul<\/strong>, daughter of Du\u0161an Bogavac.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tBesides Kljaji\u0107, the panel also comprised <strong>Branka Bogavac<\/strong>, journalist and sister of Du\u0161an Bogavac, <strong>Du\u0161an Petri\u010di\u0107<\/strong>, caricaturist and an earlier winner of the award, <strong>Slavi\u0161a Leki\u0107<\/strong>, President of the <em>Independent Journalist Association of Serbia<\/em> (NUNS), and <strong>Filip Mladenovi\u0107<\/strong>, President of <em>\u201cDu\u0161an Bogavac\u201d Foundation<\/em>.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t\u201cThe decision of the panel was not an emotional reaction to statements of Prime Minister<strong> Ana Brnabi\u0107<\/strong> on investigative journalism in Serbia. Investigative journalism in Serbia is stronger than ever, as indicated by numerous awards awarded in the country and the region to KRIK, CINS, BIRN, and Insajder newsrooms\u201d, said Leki\u0107 during the awarding ceremony.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tReceiving the award from last year\u2019s winner Sanja Kljaji\u0107, <strong>Dino Jahi\u0107<\/strong>, CINS Editor-in-Chief, said that it is difficult to be a courageous and ethical journalist in Serbia nowadays.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t\u201cI am glad that the award, which presents a great honor, was awarded to the whole newsroom, as everything we do is a result of team work. When we see who the winners of the award are, we are proud because these people were our role models\u201d, said Jahi\u0107. <br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tStating that the award \u201cDu\u0161an Bogavac\u201d is the seventh award this year that CINS has received for achievements in investigative journalism, Jahi\u0107 emphasized that each of them \u201cbelongs to every journalist in Serbia who has been brave and ethical\u201d. <br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<strong>Stevan Doj\u010dinovi\u0107<\/strong>, KRIK editor, assessed that \u201cbad times\u201d are imminent to journalism in Serbia, adding that there is a new trend that institutions, primarily tax ones, are used against media. <br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\t\u201cWe were recently lobbying in Brussels for media freedoms in Serbia. We told members of European Parliament about self-censorship in Serbia to make them understand that our leading politicians had been in Brussels before us, where they brought piles of newspapers to show that there is no censorship in Serbia. We were not encouraged by what we heard, I think that not even Brussels is willing to admit the existence of this issue in Serbia\u201d, said Doj\u010dinovi\u0107.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tThis year, the panel presented <strong>Vuka\u0161in Obradovi\u0107<\/strong>, journalist, with a separate expression of gratitude for affirmation of ethics and courage in Serbian journalism. The panel stated that, having received award \u201cDu\u0161an Bogavac\u201d in 2003, in the capacity of the Editor-in-Chief of \u201c<em>Vranjske novine<\/em>\u201d, and primarily as the President of NUNS, Obradovi\u0107 consistently continued with affirmation of the main attributives of the award: ethics and courage.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tBesides CINS and KRIK, the newsroom of \u201c<em>Ozonpress<\/em>\u201d from \u010ca\u010dak, as well as journalists <strong>Tamara Gruji\u0107<\/strong> and <strong>Mi\u0161a Brki\u0107<\/strong> were shortlisted for the award.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n\t<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\">\n\t\t[Nagrada Du\u0161an Bogavac]<br \/>\n\t\tI sedma je u rukama! <br \/>\n\t\tHvala vama!<br \/>\n\t\tVa\u0161a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CINSerbia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CINSerbia<\/a> redakcija! \u263a <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Fq3PDKx7rh\">pic.twitter.com\/Fq3PDKx7rh<\/a><\/p>\n\t\u2014 CINS (@CINSerbia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CINSerbia\/status\/922781395566686208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 24, 2017<\/a><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalist award for ethics and courage has been established in 1991<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1121,"featured_media":17698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1586,1497],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards-and-other-recognitions","category-news","ciTrackContent"],"acf":[],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1508857821~~CINS-Sanja-Kljaji\u0107.jpg","author_additional":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19778"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22205,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19778\/revisions\/22205"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
