The Broadcasting Agency (RRA) has awarded regional licences to 24 television networks and 22 radio stations throughout Serbia. However, its decision to deny a licence to the public broadcaster Radio-Televizija Kragujevac (RTK) in favour of the local private TV station Kanal 9 has caused uproar in Kragujevac, with RTK officials vowing to challenge it in the courts. The RRA did not grant four TV and two radio broadcast permits due to lack of interest and applicants’ failure to meet the necessary criteria.
