Trnini\u0107, who has appeared on TV Prva since January last year and who previously spent 17 years working for RTV B92, where she was among the authors of the hard talk show Ka\u017eiprsta [Index Finger], failed to turn up to work on her new position as a web journalist, which she was assigned to after the cancelling of her own show, Odgovor [The Answer] this June.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it’s very clear what Prva’s new editorial policy is like and that there’s no reason for anyone to be surprised that there’s no place for me there any longer,\u201d said Trnini\u0107 in a statement for Cenzolovka. Trnini\u0107 was proclaimed the best journalist in Serbia in 2012 by her colleagues.<\/p>\n
Almost simultaneously, Tatjana Vojtehovski, author of the TV Prva show \u017divot pri\u010da [Life Stories], announced on Twitter that she’d been told by the company management that her show \u2013 also among the channel’s most popular \u2013 was also to be cancelled, despite work on a new season having already started.<\/p>\n
TV Prva has made no announcements related to these cases, but its owner, Sr\u0111an Milovanovi\u0107, announced for portal Raskrikavanje [Disclosure] that Vojtehovski’s \u017divot pri\u010da show hasn’t been cancelled, but rather that negotiations are underway on the terms of continued cooperation. Speaking for the same portal, Vojtehovski denied that any negotiations had been launched with Prva’s management.<\/p>\n
Her shows feature so-called ordinary people who are fighting for justice and often find themselves denied that justice precisely by the state or people close to the authorities. Vojtehovski doesn’t publicly hide her personal criticism of the leadership of Alexander Vu\u010di\u010d and his Serbian Progressive Party.<\/p>\n
Sr\u0111an Milovanovi\u0107, whose brother Zvezdan is commissioner of the Serbian Progressive Party for the City of Ni\u0161, spent 180 million euros last December to purchase Prva TV, O2 TV and several other radio and cable channels from Greece’s Antenna Group. Shortly after this acquisition, Ivan Ivanovi\u0107, host of TV Prva’s extremely popular late night show \u201cAn Evening with Ivan Ivanovi\u0107\u201d, resigned citing his divergence with the new policy of the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
