Zeljko Ivanovic, a founder and journalist of the Montenegrin daily Vijesti, is the winner of a Freedom of the Media Award presented every year to media professionals by the Transantlantic Leadership Network (TLN), a well-known Washington political institute.

At the National Press Club in Washington, on September 17, 2022, Ivanovic will be one of the six laureates and will receive an award in the category of commentary and criticism, Vijesti reports.

The Award for Commentary and Criticism is presented for incisive coverage of cultural and political issues with which societies grapple, including racism, religious prejudice, sexual abuse, and loss of public trust in institutions.
