Description
Albanian information via radio waves emanate in Kosovo in 1945. Respectively, Radio Pristina, was the first audio media in Kosovo that saw light, and originally had headquarters in Prizren. Thirty years later, precisely in 1975, the capital of Kosovo (then an autonomous province within the former Yugoslavia) opens an information window in albanian, also with visual images. So, it was 1975 when the television started launching a program, which informed the albanian kosovars in albanian language. These two mediums for albanians living in the former Yugoslavia were the most heard mediums, respectively viewed. Nevertheless, this information lasted 45 years through radio, namely 15 years on television, until the serbian government headed by Milosevic took the decision to close these two media, also having dismissed all albanian employees and accepting subsequently unskilled employees, and among them, also albanians who stood loyal to Milosevic’s government and continued to do the work of journalists and moderators in TVP, which medium, albanians of the former Yugoslavia, from 1990 until 1999, neither heard nor watched.

Albanian information via radio waves emanate in Kosovo in 1945. Respectively, Radio Pristina, was the first audio media in Kosovo that saw light, and originally had headquarters in Prizren. Thirty years later, precisely in 1975, the capital of Kosovo (then an autonomous province within the former Yugoslavia) opens an information window in albanian, also with visual images. So, it was 1975 when the television started launching a program, which informed the albanian kosovars in albanian language. These two mediums for albanians living in the former Yugoslavia were the most heard mediums, respectively viewed. Nevertheless, this information lasted 45 years through radio, namely 15 years on television, until the serbian government headed by Milosevic took the decision to close these two media, also having dismissed all albanian employees and accepting subsequently unskilled employees, and among them, also albanians who stood loyal to Milosevic’s government and continued to do the work of journalists and moderators in TVP, which medium, albanians of the former Yugoslavia, from 1990 until 1999, neither heard nor watched.
