The new Kosovo public service television will broadcast from the capital, Pristina, on Sunday, for the first time since the end of NATO bombing in June, the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) said today. Radio-Television Kosovo (RTK), operated by both Serbs and Albanians, will start by broadcasting, via satellite, two hours of programming every evening, between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., UNMIK spokeswoman Daniela Rozgonova said. RTK will air programmes produced by Kosovars on conditions in the area, as well as spots from UNMIK-TV about the work of the international community in Kosovo. In addition to providing essential information to people throughout the territory, RTK will aim to lay a foundation for sustainable public service programming catering to the needs and expectations of the entire population. Local staff will be trained in the use of modern broadcasting techniques, so that they can, in the long run, replace the international experts now assisting with the station's set up.
