Summary/Abstract: Public service broadcasters in the Republic of Serbia are facing the growing political pressures and financial instability. This threatens their institutional independence, program quality, and affects the citizen’s trust in public broadcasters. In order to fulfil their mission, public service broadcasters need to enjoy stronger guarantees of their institutional independence, adapt appropriate funding model, secure transparent and adequate process of appointment of members of the governing bodies, and become more accountable towards citizens of Serbia.
