TV Novi Sad security ejects journalists of minority programs 

Security guards at Novi Sad Television today ordered journalists of
minority-language programs to leave the building, saying that these
programs would no longer be aired. Journalists who arrived later were
barred from the building.
 
Hajnalka Buda told the Humanitarian Law Center that the security guard
at the entrance prevented her from going into the building. To her
demand for an explanation, the guard said the order had come from
Milan Todorov, the editor.
 
"The guard asked me to sign in at the entrance. When I asked if I were
actually signing my first day away from work so I could be fired, he
said 'I suppose so,'" Hajnalka Buda said.
 
Some 20 journalists of the Hungarian-, Romanian-, Ruthenian- and
Slovak-language programs are gathered outside the building, waiting to
be addressed by the management and told whether or not they are out of
work. Their colleagues from the Serbian-language program who did not
go on strike entered the building without hindrance.
