N1 is a 24-hour cable news channel launched on 30 October 2014. The channel has headquarters in Belgrade, Sarajevo and Zagreb and covers events in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia. Available on cable TV throughout former Yugoslavia, N1 is CNN International's local broadcast partner and affiliate[4][5] via an agreement with the London-based Turner Broadcasting System Europe. As it is focused on the audiences of the three countries in which it is headquartered, it has three separate editorial policies, separate reporters, TV studios as well as internet and mobile platforms. In cases where news overlap, information is presented jointly.[6][7]

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and Pauline Adès-Mével, a representative of the Reporters Without Borders, described N1 as “the only big independent television in Serbia”.[8][9][10] N1 have been facing a targeted campaign of pressures and threats by Serbian state official during Aleksandar Vučić authoritarian regime. Workers have been constantly labeled as “traitors” and “foreign mercenaries” and received hundreds of insults and threats of physical violence through social media.[11] TV station received a letter on 4 February 2019 threatening to kill the journalists and their families and to blow up the office.[12]

After Vučić was hospitalized for cardiovascular problems in November 2019, his associates and pro-regime media accused the N1 journalists Miodrag Sovilj of worsening the president's health by asking questions about alleged corruption by government ministers.[13][14] The Council of Europe's platform on journalist safety warns about a lack of state reaction after intimidation, threats and smear campaign against Sovilj.[15] The representative of the Reporters Without Borders expressed concern about the attack on N1 director, as well as the leaflets with a message to N1 to leave Serbia and the threats via social networks.[10]
