After parliamentary election: Director of Serbian state television resigns
RTS was considered a mouthpiece of the Vucic government, with hardly any critical voices being heard. Now the director is stepping down - is this step enough for a new beginning at the public broadcaster?
Manja Grcic has resigned as head of Serbian state broadcaster RTS, three days after the parliamentary election. She said she had stayed on to ensure a smooth transition, but acknowledged that some saw her remaining as an obstacle to change. The opposition student movement won the election, ending the 14-year rule of Aleksandar Vucic, who had been accused of undermining democracy and restricting media freedom. Grcic was appointed head of RTS in February.
