Montenegro establishes independent television station
Montenegro's president Milo Djukanovic and Democratic Party leader Zoran Djindjic announced at the beginning of December that they have agreed to launch a Yugoslav satellite TV station that reportedly will be independent, according to independent Radio B92.
Montenegro purchased a satellite channel and will start broadcasting very soon, Djindjic told Radio B92 of Belgrade. He said that it was time to establish an independent television station in Yugoslavia that would crush the media monopoly of the Socialists, the Yugoslav left and radicals. "Since it was impossible to establish a completely independent electronic media in Serbia, the only way to broadcast would be from a satellite and from Montenegro," Djindjic said.
The International Herald Tribune noted on November 28 that Montenegro "has licensed a radio station banned in Belgrade to begin transmitting into Serbia from Lovcin, a town on the border between Montenegro and Serbia, the two republics that constitute Yugoslavia.
