Serbia: The Parliament · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

Belgraded describes how the Serbian parliament has been working this past month: “It all started when the national TV said that it won’t broadcast the sessions because they had to broadcast live tennis and handball tournament instead. MPs said they won’t work unless everyone in Serbia can follow what they’re doing on TV. Fair enough, you say, that sounds pretty transparent. Wrong! The only reason MPs want the broadcasts is that they could advertise their parties for free.”
