Summary/Abstract: After having read other reports and studying the issue on the ground; we can say the Press-Freedom-Situation in Montenegro is much more nuanced and complicated. With 40 periodical media printed1 the Montenegrin media landscape is dense and very competitive. Likewise, the success of the TV show “Robin Hud” shows there is a place for an independent show on a public channel2. Reports have also pointed out the existence of a climate of hate between pro-government and opposition media. Two divided camps fight to impose their own point of view of the country. The situation is serious because the conflict has clearly undermined the trust between citizens, institutions and the media itself3. Finally, breach of presumption of innocence and defamation cases are issues daily reported.
