BELGRADE, Rabi'II 26, 1437, February 05, 2016, SPA -- Lawmakers in Serbia voted on Friday to dismiss the defence minister over a remark he made to a female journalist that critics of the government said illustrated its lack of respect for the media, according to Reuters. Defence Minister Bratislav Gasic was caught on camera in December remarking to a female journalist who had crouched to avoid getting in the way of cameras: "I love these journalists who kneel so easily." Journalists and politicians condemned the comment and Gasic's friend and party ally, Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, said he would be dismissed. -- SPA 03:13 LOCAL TIME 00:13 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
