# TV Happy

A national television station whose morning programme in 2018 featured a live call from Ratko Mladić, who had then been convicted at first instance and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM) took no action because phoning in does not fall under any law. In 2022, REM again granted it a national frequency, even though REM's own expert staff had recorded for years that it did not comply with its programme plan; the same staff also found that it had repeatedly carried prohibited political advertising. On its programmes, Minister Mali repeated claims about Đilas having accounts in more than 15 countries.
