French Ambassador to Serbia, H.E. Christine Moro, presented to Zoran Sekulić, founder and director of news agency FoNet, France’s highest decoration, the Legion of Honour, with the rank of Knight, at a reception organised at the French Ambassadorial Residence.
Ambassador Moro said that French President François Hollande had decided to present this highest recognition to Sekulić in recognition of his engagement in the service of defending the development of the media and media independence in Serbia and Europe, as well as because Sekulić has contributed to promoting the values that France has supported throughout history and which are considered as being among the foundations of democracy.
“The decision of the French President to present the Legion of Honour to a journalist from Serbia confirms the universal character of values such as freedom of thought, freedom of expression and media freedom,” said Sekulić.
