The municipality of Bujanovac has annulled the media competition and announced a new one, with a deadline of October 3rd.

The deadline for submitting projects is October 3rd, and the deadline for applications from the commission members who will evaluate the media projects is ten days from the announcement of the competition.

The total amount allocated for co-financing media content is 200,000 dinars, with a minimum of 20,000 and a maximum of 60,000 dinars allocated per supported project.

As a reminder, the Municipality of Bujanovac decided on August 11th to reject the proposal from the commission for the distribution of funds in the competition for co-financing media content made on June 17th. According to the conclusion of the Municipal Council, a budget rebalancing for 2025 was carried out on July 18th, and the funds intended for the media were reduced from the initially planned three million to 200,000 dinars.

The conclusion recommended that the commission evaluating media projects redistribute funds in accordance with that amount and submit a new proposal. However, since this did not happen, 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 co-financing projects 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.
