European Broadcasting Union (EBU) members from South East Europe met this week in Istanbul to discuss regional cooperation. Topics on the agenda included the digitalization of archives, coproductions and developments in new media. Hosted by Turkish Radio & Television Corporation (TRT), it was the second high-level meeting of the Association of Public Service Media in South East Europe established formally last November in Novi Vinodolski, Croatia.
TRT Director General Ibrahim Salim told delegates the association was not seeking to establish an alternative structure to the EBU but rather to bring together broadcasters which shared “a common air”.
Petar Karanakov, CEO of MKRTV (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) and Secretary General of the association, said the new organization aimed to bring added value by preserving and promoting the cultures of South East Europe. He proposed that digitalization of the archives of the association’s members should be centralized in one or two broadcasters in the interests of efficiency.
Hosted by TRT, the meeting was attended by EBU Members from Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
