PLENTY OF BREAD FOR THE HAPPY FOLK IN THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF RTS TV SERBIA

Network for media professionalism established in Southeastern Europe A new Balkan network of media training institutes and non-governmental organizations was founded in September.
The South-East European Network for Professionalisation of the Media was founded by representatives of media training centers from 12 countries who gathered for the annual meeting of the mid-career training section of the European Journalism Training Association (EJTA) in Albania's capital, Tirana, on September 24-25.
More than 10 institutions from Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania and Yugoslavia joined the network as founding members.
Network organizers told IJNet that the Danish government and the Soros Foundation have agreed to assist the network and are very interested in funding regional projects in media training in the Balkans.
