The Central Election Commission in Pristina denied accreditation to all Serbian media to cover local elections

The CEC website lists that the first group of local and international media accredited for the local elections includes 29 local and 13 foreign outlets.

Media that were not accredited by the CEC include Tanjug, RTS, Kosovo Online, RTV PULS, TV Most, Kontakt Kosovska Mitrovica, Plus Radio, Prva TV, Radio Kim, Gračanica Online, TV Gračanica, Mondo/Kurir Television, Insider Television, Nina Media Kliping, RTV Vojvodina, MTVA – Hungarian State Television, Radio KM, Alternativna, TV Herc, VideoPlus, Nova, Media Center Čaglavica, and Danas.

The Tanjug editorial office was not officially informed that its accreditation was rejected; on the accreditation link, the status shows that the media outlet is “under review.”

Throughout the day, the editorial team repeatedly called the CEC in Pristina, but no one answered the calls or messages. The registration instructions were only sent to the newsroom on the evening of October 6.
