What a night in Budapest — people singing We Are the Champions, a sense of hope for a new beginning after 16 years of Viktor Orbán.

2/1 On April 11, 27 years ago, journalist Slavko Ćuruvija was murdered in Belgrade. In 2024, a final court ruling acquitted all four accused. Watch CPJ’s interview with Jelena Ćuruvija, the journalist’s daughter: “He was the last beacon of free journalism in Serbia (…) a very brave man who did his job with such passion, honesty, and dedication that he refused to make any compromises.” “His murder sent a message that there cannot be free journalism in Serbia, that there cannot be free opinion and free speech, and that people who insist on this will be punished.” “My dad always said: We will win, because we are beautiful and smart.’ Today, I am the same age as he was when he was killed, and I say the same thing: We will win because we are beautiful and smart.”
