American NGO dealing with human rights protection, Human Rights Watch, published on 15 June 2015 its report A Difficult Profession Media Freedom Under Attack in the Western Balkans. Human Rights Watch’s research has found that ineffective state response has resulted in de facto impunity for most crimes against journalists.

The report, inter alia, cited HRA data that 20 cases of attacks and harassment of Montenegrin journalists have been recorded between 2010 and early 2014, including explosions at media outlets, car bombs, attacks and death threats. Other data from HRA report Prosecution of Attacks on journalist in Montenegro have been cited as well.
