IMC statement on NTV Doboj
During the RTRS pre-election block on 19 March, the SNS stated that while SNS representatives participated in the TV Duel show on NTV Doboj, an intrusion by an armed person was fabricated in order to frighten SNS representatives. On this occasion, the IMC sent a letter to the RTRS, stating that after viewing the material, no proof was found that would support the SNS claim. The IMC confirmed that someone entered the studio during the show, but that there was nothing in his behavior that would frighten SNS representatives. There is no proof that he was armed. The IMC requests a correction of this statement and the SNS was informed of this request. Therefore, RTRS, in accordance with the IMC request, is correcting the earlier report on this event.
