UNS and DNKiM request postponement of a debate over the law on Radio Television of Kosovo in the Kosovo parliament, until Serbs MPs don’t return to the Assembly.

Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) and Association of Journalists of Kosovo and Metohija (DNKiM) reminded Serb MPs in the Kosovo Assembly that there is an ongoing debate over the law on Radio Television of Kosovo, and requested adequate attention of theirs with regard to creation of an independent TV channel in the Serbian language that will cover entire Kosovo territory.

A communiqué issued by UNS and DNKiM reads that both associations request delay of the debate over the law on Radio Television of Kosovo, and that decisions are not made over the information provided in the Serbian language in the absence of Serb MPs in the parliament, in order that new law is based on real needs and interests of Serbian media community and all citizens who speak Serbian language.

UNS and DNKiM further said that existing cable channel in the Serbian language RTK2 is neither legal nor functional realization of the constitutional rights and obligations of Kosovo institutions toward Serbian people.
