Brankica Janković, the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality said that the manner in which a daily newspaper has been reporting on Ms. Olivera Kovačević, Serbia Broadcasting Agency editor, is highly inappropriate and degrading.

It is unacceptable to insult and violate a woman’s human dignity by using her personal life to belittle her professional and career achievements. It is writing of this kind that promotes sexism, gender stereotypes and prejudice thus discriminating all women, said Commissioner Janković.
