Niš TV has risen among the record holders: An additional 11,900,000 dinars from the city of Niš.
The city of Niš today announced the results of the competition for project co-financing of media content, which was announced for the distribution of the remaining 26,580,000 dinars, or the amount that was not awarded in the first competition of this year.
The largest amount awarded in this competition—11,900,000 dinars—was received by INI media from Niš, which publishes the portal ništv.rs and the currently unregistered television of the same name. The project that Niš will co-finance is titled "Zdravo Niš - Knowledge for Life."
This media publisher recently received an additional 4,028,400 dinars from Niš, based on individual grants.
The total support for the two projects, both from Niš, amounts to 15,928,400 dinars, elevating INI media to 14th place on the list of organizations that received the most funding from media competitions in 2025. Additionally, the project of 11.9 million ranks sixth on the list of the largest awarded amounts per project this year.

It is worth noting that INI media Niš is owned by the Alo media system (51 percent), which publishes the newspapers and portal Alo, while the remaining 49 percent is owned by Bojan Avramović, who was the commissioner for the SNS Pantelej and the director of the Regional Development Agency "Jug." He ran for elections independently in 2020 and 2024.
This company is the publisher of Niš TV, which began broadcasting programs this year, although it is not officially registered as a media outlet nor does it have a license from REM. The first guest on Niš TV on May 18 was the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
Only the portal of this television, nistv.rs, was registered in the Media Registry, but only on August 28 of this year.
