Control over local media required: SDA is trying to take over RTV Visoko

Councilors of SDA in the Council of Visoko Municipality started an initiative for alternation of Supervisory Board of the local RTC Visoko in favor of a new board. The new board has the authority to dismiss the existing director and appoint a new one.

This initiative of SDA has not yet received sufficient support of other parties in the Municipal Council.

The opposition claims that Halim Zukic, President of Municipal organization of SDA, stands behind this attempt to dismiss the actual management of RTV Visoko. They further claim that Zukic is trying to take control over the local RTV, which would benefit him greatly in his election campaign that has been going on for some 20 days already.

The mayor of Visoko, Amra Babic, enjoys a great support of the citizens and it will be a real challenge to take her position. SDA's assessment is that the control over RTV Visoko would greatly benefit their candidate at the upcoming elections.

Amra Babic came to the position of mayor of Visoko as an SDA candidate. However, she left SDA several months ago due to her disagreeing with their ways of running local politics. She is running for a new mandate as an independent candidate.
