Miloš Mašković, a candidate on the list "European Alliance of Boris Mugoš (SDP SD, LP and citizens) Podgorica for example", said that according to the information he received, there is a serious concern that all political parties will not be equally represented in the coverage of Gradska RTV during the election day. .
"I am aware that certain political subjects will be treated specially, and that they will be given the same conditions as other political subjects. This selective approach sends the message that the interests of certain political subjects and their voters are not equally important," Mašković said in the statement. delivered to the media.
He said that as a media that belongs to the citizens of Podgorica, he expects that during the election day, from the opening to the closing of the polls, City RTV will follow all events in the election race in a balanced and objective manner.
"The role of the local public broadcaster in informing the citizens is of crucial importance, and I believe that it is necessary that all political subjects be treated equally and in accordance with the basic principles of journalism.
If the approach of Gradska RTV favors only certain political parties, this can further undermine citizens' trust in this local media, as well as in democratic processes. The question is, on what basis did they decide to give more media space to certain political parties, while the others were neglected?", according to Mašković's statement.
