OSCE Mission to Montenegro supports news outlet Vijesti with technical equipment
In order to support the ongoing modernization drive of several media houses in Montenegro, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro delivered ten new desktop computers to the news house Vijesti on 6 May 2020 in Podgorica.
Further material assistance is also planned for Radio Television Montenegro (RTCG), the public service broadcaster, as well as other media houses in Montenegro.
“Providing technical equipment further enhances journalistic skills and output. This approach is in line with identified training needs of the media houses and consistent with the Mission’s long-term strategy to support free, independent and pluralistic media in Montenegro,” said Maryse Daviet, Head of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro.
The Mission expresses its appreciation to Marijana Bojanić, Executive Director of Vijesti, for her co-operation with the Mission, particularly inidentifying current training needs and supporting the organization of training courses for staff.
The Mission supports programmes to enhance journalists’ ability to use modern technical equipment, which is especially important in the new working environment of self-isolation as result of the current pandemic.
On behalf of the Mission, the technical equipment was handed over by Mission’s Media Programme Manager, Daniel Blank.
