Serbian Public Broadcaster Apologizes for Biased Coverage After Student List Election WinPreviousNext

Serbia's public broadcaster Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) issued a live on-air apology for years of biased, pro-government coverage following the Student List's decisive election victory over Aleksandar Vučić's alliance. News anchor Goran Eror acknowledged the failure to report impartially and showed previously withheld footage of celebrations. The apology coincided with the resignation of RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Ćaćić amid ongoing concerns about editorial independence and media ethics in Serbia.
