“Similar actions preceded the Holocaust” – the head of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs on the ban on Russian media in the EU
Closing the media based on their affiliation with a particular country is close to the idea of racial laws that preceded the Holocaust.
This is how Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin commented on the EU ban on the Russian television channel RT and radio station Sputnik, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Vulin noted that since media from Qatar, Great Britain, the USA, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg work quietly in Serbia, he sees no reason why media from Russia should not show their vision of the world in his country.
“The silence of international journalistic associations on this matter is a greater harm to human rights than the noise of those who want to ban Russian media,” noted the Serbian Interior Minister. “I hope they will be ashamed of their cowardice.” It is obvious that, according to the new world order, there are both nations that do not have the right to exist, and media that do not have the right to exist.”
Vulin recalled that banning the media based on one’s relationship to a particular state is close to the idea of racial laws, on the basis of which the ideology of Nazism, which led to the Holocaust, was subsequently created. In his opinion, the attitude towards the work of journalists from Russia is an indicator of the democracy and openness of the society in which they work today.
