At the beginning of the meeting, the MP first briefed the guests on the work and duties of the Committee on the Diaspora and Serbs in the Region, stressing it was the only committee that dealt with the issues of Serbs living outside of Serbia. Linta was pleased to be able to hear in person from the representatives of the Serbian media about the problems the Serbian communities and the media themselves have in the countries of the region, stressing that the position of Serbs in the region is followed by the fate of the media and if the situation is difficult, the position of the Serbian communities’ media is even more difficult.

He asked what the Republic of Serbia and the Office for Cooperation with Diaspora and Serbs in the Region can do to ensure the survival of the Serbian media in the countries of the region.

The representatives of the Serbian media from Romania, Croatia, Macedonia and Albania shared the experiences and problems they come up against in their respective countries, after which the MP assured them that he would urge that they be solved.

“I believe it important that Serbs in the countries of the region know that the Republic of Serbia thinks of them, that it wants to help them and encourage them, and it was very important to me to hear your views, suggestions and proposals today so that we may do all we can to help you”, concluded the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on the Diaspora and Serbs in the Region.

The meeting with Deputy Chairman Miodrag Linta was attended by Goran Pantin from Romania, Nikola Milojevic from Croatia, Stefan Raulovic from Macedonia and Artur Popaj from Albania.
