BANJA LUKA, (Patria) - Suzana Rađen-Todorić (RTV BN), Siniša Vukelić (CAPITAL.ba) and Dušica Stanojević (FENA) refused to participate in the show "Interview with the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik" on RTRS on September 1, 2018. The undersigned journalists refused to participate in the show for several reasons which they sent to the media so that the public would be informed about the prerequisites they expect to be met in order to talk to the President of Republika Srpska.

In the letter they sent, these three journalists state that they refuse to participate in the show until the conditions for unimpeded and free work of media and journalists are met.

- Until the attacks on journalists and insults to journalists by RS authorities cease, until the attackers and masterminds of the attacks on Vladimir Kovačević are prosecuted, until equal treatment of institutions and authorities towards all media houses and journalists is established, until a legal framework is established that will guarantee the safety of journalists and accountability for all types of attacks on journalists. We are sending this response to the editorial office of RTRS and all other media. Sincerely, Suzana Rađen-Todorić, Editor-in-Chief of the news program RTV BN, Siniša Vukelić, Editor of the portal CAPITAL.ba, Dušica Stanojević, journalist of the news agency FENA - the letter states.
