Postage stamp dedicated to 100th anniversary of Radio Belgrade presented
The postage stamp dedicated to the centenary of the founding of the oldest media in the Balkans was presented in the Stone Hall of Radio Belgrade. Minister of Information and Telecommunications of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, Mihailo Jovanović, Director of Radio Belgrade, Milan Nedić, and Acting Director of the Post of Serbia, Zoran Đorđević spoke at the ceremony.
With the new postage stamp, the Post of Serbia wants to point out the importance of Radio Belgrade as an important cultural and media institution in Serbia and reminds that the Belgrade Rakovica station started operating on October 1, 1924.
Radio Belgrade today produces 168 hours of programme a day, in addition to the First, Second, Third Programme and 202, there are also four thematic channels on RTS Planet and on the new platform RTS Sound.
Minister of Information and Telecommunications Mihailo Jovanović pointed out that it is very important to connect institutions in this way.
"Today is another wonderful event, in a series of events marking the 100th anniversary of Radio Belgrade and remembering the year 1924 when the first radio waves started from the transmitter in Rakovica," said Minister Jovanović, stressing that during all these years radio has resisted more modern media - television and the Internet. Radio, as he says, was a symbol of our culture, our language, our tradition, a symbol of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, connecting all our citizens around the world.
"I would once again like to congratulate all the employees of Radio Belgrade, as well as the employees of the Post of Serbia on a brilliant postage stamp with which we mark this jubilee", said Minister Jovanović.
The entire year of 2024 is dedicated to the great jubilee and significant events await us.
"The crowning moment of the celebration will be October 1, but until then we will have a number of events and a number of institutions of the Government of the Republic of Serbia will be involved in the celebration of this really great jubilee", announced Minister Jovanović.
The Post of Serbia and Radio Belgrade will also organize an exhibition that awaits us in the autumn at the PTT museum, which will be dedicated to the beginnings of radio broadcasting.
