Where the limits of the journalist reporting on the topics of publics interest are, and when do they imply with regards to publishing personal data; in which cases it is more important to protect privacy, and in which freedom of expression has the advantage; how is this relationship determined by the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court for Human Rights case-law; how these issues are treated both in the domestic legislation and in the media regulation and self-regulation? These are the questions that were subject to a live discussion at the multidisciplinary seminar for the representatives of the media and the judiciary community.
Council of Europe expert Peter Noorlander and local experts lawyer Irena Puzić-Obradović, Regulatory authority representative, Azra Maslo, journalist Renata Radić – Dragić and professor Vuk Vučetić have been presenting at the event.
The event was organised in a hybrid manner, combining online and offline participation. The event gathered 29 participants, and it was organised in partnership with the Press Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the joint European Union/Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022”, and its action on “Freedom of expression and freedom of the media in Bosnia and Herzegovina (JUFREX)”.
