MOSCOW, DECEMBER 27, 2024 — RT has launched its 24-hour TV channel in Serbian – the news channel RT Balkan. Headquartered in Belgrade, RT Balkan will broadcast news, analysis, interviews and documentaries. “I congratulate the entire RT Serbian team and all our viewers on finally finding each other.
We are incredibly happy that, despite all the sanctions, despite our voice being suppressed wherever possible, we will nevertheless broadcast here, in Serbia, in Europe. We very much hope that we won’t disappoint our viewers’ expectations,” said RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan. RT Balkan is available through several operators in Serbia and Republika Srpska, as well as online.
The channel will cover the regional and global events, bringing RT’s trademark alternative perspective to the most pressing issues of the day. The new channel’s flagship show will be the interview program Relativizacija ( “Relativization” ), hosted by prominent Serbian journalist and former head of the Serbian Journalists’ Association, Ljiljana Smajlović. “RT Balkan has assembled a team of both experienced and young journalists who refuse to submit to Western narrative hegemony.
We are proud to work in the only country in Europe where freedom of speech still exists – something that’s fashionable to talk about in the West but not to practice. We are very grateful to the politicians of Serbia and Russia who made this possible despite enormous pressure from Western countries tr.
