CINS

The Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia (CINS) is an independent, non‑profit investigative media organisation based in Belgrade, Serbia. Founded in 2007, it focuses on uncovering corruption, organised crime, abuses of power, governance failures, and other issues with significant societal impact. The newsroom produces long-form, evidence-based investigations across politics, justice, public procurement, education, health, and the environment, frequently collaborating with international investigative networks to increase the reach and impact of its reporting. Its work aims to strengthen civic oversight and promote transparency in Serbia and the region. CINS operates with full editorial independence and is funded primarily through donations, grants, and non-commercial support, avoiding advertising and political influence. This model allows the organisation to prioritise public-interest journalism and pursue resource-intensive investigations without compromise. Recognised for its rigorous reporting and award-winning investigations, CINS has established itself as one of Serbia’s leading investigative journalism centres, producing journalism that informs citizens, promotes accountability, and sheds light on issues often overlooked by mainstream media.
