NUNS: Public competitions must not be used to finance privileged media.
The Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) expresses serious concern regarding the decision of the City of Novi Pazar to allocate the majority of funds this year in the competition for co-financing public interest in the field of public information to Radio Television Novi Pazar, thereby continuing the years-long practice of selective and unjustified distribution of funds to a single media outlet.
