The Russian state-controlled RT media group says it has launched an online Serbian-language project, RT Balkan. "The new multimedia website will cover the most important regional and international events from an alternative point of view," RT announced on November 15, adding that a new television station broadcasting in Serbian will be operational by 2024. RT's chief editor, Margarita Simonyan, wrote on Telegram: "We have launched RT in the Balkans. Because Kosovo is Serbia." RT, controlled by the Kremlin and financed from the Russian state budget, has been banned from broadcasting in the European Union since March 2022.
