Montenegro to restrict Serbian television broadcasts

The Montenegrin Electronic Media Agency reported that several broadcasts of Serbian TV channels Pink M and TV Happy had been suspended for three months. These are Dobro jutro Srbijo, Čirilica, Posle ručka, Novo jutro. The reason for this decision was the propaganda of hatred, intolerance and discrimination against people of Montenegrin nationality in these broadcasts, the CDM portal reports. Considering that this is a violation of the standards to which Montenegro and Serbia are committed, the agency concluded that the content of the programmes encourages hatred, intolerance and discrimination against members of Montenegrin nationality. They used derogatory, offensive expressions that generate strong negative emotions, express hostility or desire for discrimination, and humiliate Montenegrins by denying their nationality, the agency said in a statement.
