Serbian Host Apologizes
A presenter on Serbia’s public broadcaster, RTV, apologized on air on October 26 for years of biased coverage, silence on important issues, and failure to hold those in power to account. The apology came after a student-backed slate won, ending the ruling party’s 14-year dominance. A journalist at the broadcaster criticized its inadequate coverage of the 2024 collapse of a canopy at the Novi Sad railway station, which killed 16 people. Several senior officials resigned after the apology, and dissenting voices began appearing on the programs. A media analyst warned that the change remained largely symbolic, given continued state funding and appointments linked to those in power, and stressed that restoring public trust would require reform and sustained effort.
