RSF: Media freedom in BiH varies by entity, pressure worsens in Republika Srpska

PARIS, April 30 (FENA) – Media freedom and the quality of journalism in Bosnia and Herzegovina vary significantly depending on the entity and political environment. The situation is particularly challenging in the BiH entity of Republika Srpska, where the re-criminalization of defamation and the growing influence of Russian propaganda have further complicated the work of journalists and public-interest journalism, according to a report by the non-governmental organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
