Commissioner Hahn opens EU-Western Balkans Media Days in Skopje (European Western Balkans)
SKOPJE – European Commissioner for Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn opened the second annual EU-Western Balkans Media Days in Skopje today.
In his speech, Hahn highlighted the enlargement momentum created this year, especially when it comes to Macedonia-Greece Agreement on the name issue.
This momentum, however, was not present in the case of media freedom.
“According to data from the Regional Platform for advocating media freedom and safety of journalists, there were 11 cases of physical attacks on journalists in the Western Balkan countries this year alone”, said Hahn.
