RTS HIT ROCK BOTTOM: They Censored A Little Girl Because She Said She Doesn’t Want To Live In Zrenjanin Because There Is No Drinking Water!

The Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) has once again found itself in the public eye after, during the broadcast of the episode “Important Things,” it cut a segment from the show in which a little girl says she wouldn’t want to live in Zrenjanin in the future because, as she stated, there is no clean water there. This is not the first time the show has been a focus of public attention; they recently refused to rerun an episode because a boy spoke about students and blockades.

Specifically, the production company behind the aforementioned show announced yesterday on its official Instagram account that the new episode of “Important Things,” for unknown reasons, premiered in a version that was 15 seconds shorter than the final version that was delivered.

As they stated, in the missing segment, one of the participating children spoke about the quality of life in the city she comes from, the production company behind the show published on their Instagram profile.

The Nova.rs portal publishes the transcript of the missing part:

Host: How do you imagine your future? Girl: Me with a child, with another child, and with Dad. Host: Would you live in Zrenjanin? Girl: No. Host: Where then? Girl: In Belgrade or Novi Sad. Host: And why? Girl: Because of the water. We don’t have clean water in Zrenjanin, but you do.

No Rerun Because of Students

“Important Things” is a show featuring children who answer questions related to various topics while the show’s host cuts and styles their hair. This is not the first time the show has been in the public spotlight. Some time ago, RTS did not rerun an episode because one child, a participant in the show, spoke about students.

A clip from that episode shows a boy sitting in the barber chair and talking about having a break from school due to blockades and protests. The host asks him: “And what kind of blockades and protests are those?”, to which the boy replies: “Well… The students are fighting for justice. For our future.”

Due to the broadcast of that episode, RTS launched disciplinary proceedings against the editor of the public broadcaster’s Children’s Program, Jelena Popadić Sumić.
