Montenegro was the smallest of the former Yugoslavia’s six republics; then it was Serbia’s uncritical ally for most of the 1990s. In 2006, it became Europe’s newest sovereign state – and the United Nations’ newest member.
Despite this dramatic history, in which Montenegrin broadcasters played their full part, surveys of media policy in the ‘new democracies’ have rarely paid much attention to Montenegro.
This gap is now filled. Prepared by the Media Program and EUMAP and authored by Ranko Vujović, the Montenegrin report in the series Television Across Europe: regulation, policy and independence is a major new report. It analyses television policy and regulation in Montenegro, assesses the level and quality of independence, and offers detailed recommendations for positive change.
