Serbia: justice acquits spies from the Milosevic era for the murder of a journalist. Slavko Curuvija, an opposition journalist, shot thirteen times in front of his home in Belgrade on April 11, 1999.
One of the suspects remains in prison where he is serving a forty-year sentence for murder. Two were released after five years of imprisonment and a fourth, on the run, had never been arrested. In 2023, Serbia was 91st out of 180 in the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) ranking on press freedom.
