Bujanovac canceled the media competition due to a lack of applications.

As a reminder, on September 12th in Bujanovac, the competition for project co-financing of media content, previously announced this year, was canceled, and a decision was made to announce a new competition. The deadline for submitting projects was October 3rd.

The total amount allocated for the co-financing of media content was 200,000 dinars.

Prior to announcing the new competition, the municipality of Bujanovac decided on August 11th to reject the proposal of the commission for the distribution of funds from the competition for co-financing media content, which was adopted on June 17th. As stated in the conclusion of the Municipal Council, a budget rebalancing for the year 2025 was conducted on July 18th, and the funds allocated for the media were reduced from the originally planned three million to 200,000 dinars.

The conclusion recommended that the commission evaluating media projects redistribute the funds accordingly and submit a new proposal. However, since this did not occur, the competition was canceled.

The commission that evaluated the projects proposed on June 17th that the three million be distributed as follows: TV Info Puls Vranje would receive 280,000 dinars, RTV Bujanovac 480,000 and 280,000, the Center for Democracy and Education – Dolina 280,000, the Variacion Association 430,000, the Bujanovačka Association 380,000, and the Spek3 Association 280,000.

Among the proposals for project co-financing were the Koštana portal with 180,000, Perspektiva with 280,000, and the company for production, trade, and services M OD Vranje with 130,000 dinars.

The members of the commission were Nenad Perić, Miodrag Miljković, and Slađana Tasić.
