New report on television in Kosovo
The Media Program and EUMAP publish the first comprehensive analysis on Kosovo broadcasting.
In 1999, Kosovo was a wartorn province within the Republic of Serbia. Today, it is the world's newest independent state. The
passage to statehood has been negotiated with the help of international
missions, deployed in Kosovo at the end of the 1999 war.
Led by the United Nations and NATO, these missions stabilised the territory and helped to rebuild infrastructure, as well as to establish democratic institutions. One of the aims of media development activities in Kosovo has been the creation of a mixed and liberal broadcasting sector, centred on a new public service broadcaster and a range of commercial outlets.
Authored by Vjollca Krasniqi of Prishtina University, this new report by EUMAP and the Media Program provides the first comprehensive survey and analysis of the development of Kosovo's broadcasting sector since 1999. This report completes the project on Television across Europe, which has monitored regulation, policy and independence in 22 countries since 2005. All the monitoring reports are available on this site. Launch events for the Kosovo report will be announced here in the coming weeks.
