RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

positions and opinions essential for the unity of interests and aims of the working class, the nations and nationahties of Yugoslavia. There is no single information system in Yugoslavia nor can there be one and there is no single Yugoslav TV programme, which tvould represent a negation in the name of some false unity, false intemationahsm and false class interest of the constitutional functions of the republics and provinces in this domain. Furthermore, it would represent the negation of the language and other national features and specific natures of the Yugoslav nations and nationahties.

On the contrary, it is in the class and national interest of the working class and the workers of ah nations and naticnahties to become better informed through the programmes of the Yugoslav Tv centres on the work and life in each environment, on the overal creativity and culture of each nationality in Yugoslavia.
