DISMISSAL OF RTK DIRECTOR

KRAGUJEVAC, November 7, 2005 – At the last week’s marathon session of the Kragujevac local assembly that started at early in the morning on November 4, the director of the Radio Television Kragujevac Slavica Trifunovic, director of the Sports Center “Mladost” Bratislav Djerovski and director of the Company for Town Construction Mirjana Vulic were relieved from their duties by the majority of delegates’ votes. Their dismissal was proposed by the Kragujevac Mayor Veroljub Stevanovic. Boris Jovanovic, a former journalist of Kragujevac private television station “Kanal 9” and TV “IN” was elected new director of the Radio Television Kragujevac at the same session, while Rasko Tanasijevic and Zoran Tenjevic were appointed directors of SC “Mladost” and Company for Town Construction. The dismissals of heads of all Kragujevac-based institutions with whose work the mayor Stevanovic was not satisfied, were announced several weeks ago. The decision to relieve the directors of several local companies has upset the political public in Sumadija, since all dismissed were the eminent activists of the Liberals of Kragujevac. Liberals of Kragujevac were active participants of the local parliament’s majority work until last Saturday.
