The Russian state channel Russia Today (RT) started this Tuesday the online broadcast of the program in the Serbian language.

The news was confirmed on social networks by the editor-in-chief of RT, Margarita Simonyan.

“We started RT in the Balkans, because Kosovo is Serbia,” she wrote on Twitter.

In a statement published on RT’s Russian-language website, the broadcast of the Serbian-language TV program will begin in 2024.

The European Union has suspended the broadcasting of several Russian-backed media outlets, including RT, on March 1. The European bloc has also sanctioned Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the English-language RT channel.
