A teenage girl walks into a reality show, the Center for Missing and Exploited Children responds.

A 17-year-old girl named Jovana Kosovac from Novi Sad has entered Serbia's reality TV show 'Elita,' which targets individuals over 18 years old. The show, considered a successor to the former 'Zadruga,' has sparked public debate after her participation. Jovana expressed feeling both nervous and happy, emphasizing the support she received from her family, despite initial lack of support. Her involvement was made possible by written consent from her mother, according to the Croatian portal 24sata. In response, the Novi Sad Center for Missing and Abused Children quickly addressed the situation through social media, warning against such decisions. They emphasized that minors do not belong in reality television programs, which often involve conflicts, humiliation, and sexualization. Experts highlighted that responsibility lies solely with adults who allow minors into this world, noting that parental consent does not equate to child protection.
