Despite massive protests in front of RTS, tens of thousands of people on the streets and a blockade for several weeks, the duo from the top of the Public Service still does not see a problem. Or at least he tries not to see it, while the public looks more and more through the window - and looks for a way out
The first man of RTS, Dragan Bujošević, assessed that the blockades of the Public Service have nothing to do with the fight for media freedom, but with the fight for power.
Serbian Radio and Television earned a total of 2024 billion dinars in 15,7, but expenses were higher than that amount, so the public media service still ended the year with a loss of 310,3 million dinars.
The children's program of RTS is not recorded, schools, parents and actors cancel the recordings... Jelena Popadić Sumić, editor of the children's program of RTS, in an author's text for "Vreme" asks the management of the house if they are aware of what they have done to the public service
In one day, on Monday, April 28, there was excessive police force and laxity regarding the announcement of a competition for the REM Council. Is there a secret connection?
After leaving the blocked area in front of the RTS building, the students left a message written in chalk saying "we are watching you" and a note of thanks to the neighbors. Although the protest was over, RTS employees did not return to work
Although the Law on Electronic Media clearly defines the competencies of REM, practice shows the opposite. Instead of independent monitoring, REM is increasingly associated with passivity and selective response, which causes public and professional concern
Choirs of citizens of Bežaniska kosa, Zemun and Novi Belgrade joined the students in front of RTS in Takovska before the start of the second Dnevnik. Their message is RTS is in REM phase
The entrances to the Radio-Television of Serbia buildings in Takovska, Aberdareva and Košutnjak are still blocked, while students and citizens protest peacefully, demanding the announcement of a new competition for REM Council members. Guitars are played in Takovska, and donations are collected in Kosutnjak
The Public Media Service announced that it strongly condemns the publication of photos of members of the management of the Public Service on the Informer portal. They say they will take all legal measures to protect their employees
Many journalists of the public service are angry with the management of their house, and yet they feel that the blockades unfairly draw targets for all of them.
"The goal of this action is to support the workers and fight for their rights that were taken away from them at their workplaces," stated the students of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade.
RTS employees gathered in the "Our Protest" initiative demand the immediate publication of the names of the responsible editors who make decisions about the content of the program during the blockade of the building. They are also looking for an answer to the question - why is the majority of the editorial staff completely excluded from work?
Not only is RTS not doing its job, but they are breaking all the norms, they have become really reckless, say the students who went to Strasbourg by bicycle
"I hope that the Assembly will not succumb to the insane pressure of the students," Zekić said
Support for students in front of RTS takes on a new dimension - citizens bring food, instruments and good will. The streets are closed to traffic, but open for solidarity and togetherness, which has been going on for the sixth day
While students and citizens block the entrance to the RTS building for the sixth day, the Union of Public Service Workers announced four demands and said: the public service is essentially blocked by institutions that refuse to regulate the media scene. In particular, they requested an urgent call for tenders for the REM Council, whose work has been paralyzed since November
The resignations of all editors and journalists who "allowed Dnevnik 2 and other news programs to present untruths and insults against students and other citizens" are demanded.
"Our kitchen for spreading hatred and lies is in this building above us, on this same RTS that still spreads lies and hatred today. My generation accepted those lies, it believed that we were doing the right thing and that we were right and the others were evil. And those others thought the same for themselves, and then the wheel of evil started which cannot be stopped and continues to this day for many", said Goran Samardžić, a war veteran, who was the same age as the students when he was in He also became a war invalid in Sarajevo
It is particularly worrying that media workers in RTS are denied freedom of movement and the performance of professional journalistic tasks, and disturbing threats have been sent to them, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Vreme" condemned the publication of personal data and the targeting of journalists and editors of Radio and Television of Serbia, not the student blockade of RTS
"They forbid their freedom of movement, even to eat, to broadcast their program, whatever I think about that program, it is terrible and the messages that are sent to the people who work at RTS are terrible," said Vučić
Students have been blocking the Public Service for four days in Takovska Street and in Kosutnjak, demanding that a new competition be announced for REM Council members.
