The BBC News Serbian (BBC News na srprskom) digital service is now live with the launch of its website, bbc.com/serbian - as well as its Twitter and Facebook feeds.
Belgrade-based BBC News Serbian delivers exclusive content that contextualises world events for the region – and puts regional developments in a global perspective.
Underpinned by the BBC’s global newsgathering network, the digital service uses modern storytelling techniques to produce social-media-friendly journalism and innovative video content. The service will offer its Serbian-speaking audience around the world balanced, fair and accurate news and reporting – be it politics, business, technology, lifestyle, health or culture.
The insights and expertise of BBC News Serbian’s journalists will also enrich the BBC’s coverage of the region.
BBC News Serbian is the last of the 12 new language services launched as part of the expansion of the BBC World Service – its biggest since the 1940s. The expansion, which is funded through a grant from the UK Government, also includes the enhancement of some existing services.
The BBC News Serbian Editor, Aleksandra Nikšić, has held leading positions in international and Serbian media before joining the BBC. She says: “We will be using innovative formats to bring our users the global content that is relevant to them and that helps them make sense of the world. And we want to hear the voices of people in Serbia and the wider region, as well as Serbian-speakers around the world, to bring the Serbian story to the BBC’s international audience.”
BBC News Serbian is part of the BBC World Service Europe Region which also offers content in Russian, Ukrainian and Azerbaijani. BBC World Service Europe Region Senior Editor, Artyom Liss, adds: “The launch of BBC News Serbian is a milestone for us. Supported by the entire global team of BBC News, BBC News Serbian will be an innovator in the market, offering unique content in a modern and engaging manner.”
BBC News Serbian content is also available via the following popular websites: B92, Danas and Naslovi in Serbia; Kameleon in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and Vijesti in Montenegro.
