Fonet News Agency celebrated on February 7 th 15 year anniversary. Zoran Sekulic owner and editor, in hard times for media in 1994 succeeded to start the first independent news agency in Serbia. At the celebration he said at the beginning it was sometimes life-threatening to be a journalist, but he was hoping after 2000 situation would change. Unfortunately the conditions for media hasn’t changed as much as he was expecting. Fonet and others who fought against Milosevic regime, are still fighting for elementary media equality in Serbia.

Many top government officials were present, Dragan Sutanovac Minister of defense, Vuk Jeremic Foreign minister, members of the cabinet of the President of Serbia,, Radovan Jelasic the national Bank governor.

It was with great pleasure that I congratulated my friend Zoran Sekulic on 15 years of successful existence, because he stayed loyal to highest professional standards in objective journalism.
