Serbia profile

News stand in Serbia

The media regulator awarded national TV licences in 2006 to private stations B92, TV Pink, News Corp's Fox TV (now Prva Srpska), TV Avala and a licence share to Kosava-Happy TV. It granted five national radio licences - to B92, Radio Index, Radio S, Roadstar and Radio Focus.

According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF) in 2010, "death threats, physical or verbal assaults, harassment and corruption are unfortunately still the daily lot of the press." Journalists have been the victims of reprisals for investigating the criminal underworld, RSF said.

There were 4.1 million internet users by June 2010 (Internetworldstats). In the same month, the number of Facebook users topped two million, according to Blic newspaper. Internet access is unrestricted, NGO Freedom House says.
