The transition from analog to digital broadcasting will be marked at the “Crveno selo” broadcasting station near Subotica. The event will be attended by State Secretary at the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Mrs. Tatjana Matić.

The Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications reminded the citizens of these areas who receive TV signals via room or roof antennas to acquire equipment to receive digital signals, and vulnerable consumers to take advantage of the vouchers for the subsidized purchase of STBs, in order to prepare for the full transition to digital television broadcasting.
