Kragujevac, June 13, 2011 (Ministry of Culture, Media and Information Society) - The first round table, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Media and Information Society within the public debate on the Draft Media Strategy for developing of system of public information in Serbia until the year 2016, was held in Kragujevac on June 13, 2011.
The debate was attended by the State Secretary Dragana Milicevic-Milutinovic, as well as two members of the working group, PhD Rade Veljanovski and Zoran Sekulic. Over twenty speakers, out of sixty participants, took participation in the discussion.
The greatest interest caused the part of the Draft relating to the ownership structure of the media. Representatives of "Kragujevac initiative" advocated for the formation of regional public services. The working group pointed out that the state proved to be a bad owner and the European standards required withdrawal of the state from the ownership in the media.
The Draft Media Strategy will also be debated in Novi Pazar, Novi Sad, Nis and Belgrade, after which it will be considered whether there are shortcomings in the Draft and which objections and suggestions from the public debate should be acknowledged.
