We recognize the significance of these subjects, which both are present in the media reporting in Serbia, although there is an impression that talk about corruption than about anti-corruption. The monitoring will show if and in what extension the media reporting contribute to the fight against corruption, by investigative journalism or maintaining the integrity of anti-corruption", pointed out Pavle Dimitrijevic, Executive Director of the Bureau for Social Researches (BIRODI).
