The full KROKODIL center was filled with <strong>more than 30 participants<\/strong>, including local media outlets, diplomats, and CSO representatives, creating a vibrant atmosphere for high quality dialogue and open discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference covered a range of topics related to the media landscape in four countries: <strong>Hungary, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia<\/strong>. We discussed the role the media played in the recently concluded election campaign in Hungary and the long-standing struggle against a repressive system; media regulation in Montenegro within the framework of accelerated EU integration; media sustainability; and an in-depth look at the media scene in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We also reflected on the recently published Reporters Without Borders report and gathered colleagues from across Serbia to speak openly about professional pressures, limits of endurance, and what continues to motivate us in this profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-id=\"21175\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0606-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-id=\"21178\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_6222-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-id=\"21176\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0676-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-id=\"21177\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-650x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.krokodil.rs\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_0673-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featuring distinguished keynote speakers \u2014<strong> Prof. G\u00e1bor Poly\u00e1k<\/strong> (Hungary), <strong>Boro Konti\u0107<\/strong> (Bosnia and Herzegovina), <strong>\u017deljka Zvicer<\/strong> (Montenegro), <strong>Prof. Dinko Gruhonji\u0107<\/strong>, and <strong>Prof. Snje\u017eana Milivojevi\u0107 (Serbia)<\/strong> \u2014 the day was much more than a conference;
