RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

I consider that this first and foremost depends on the constitutional tr-iisformation of each of the Vugoslav radio-television centres and on the transformation of all structures of Yugoslav radio-television in that spirit. It is here that I see the way to the long-term circulation of people and ideas and cooperation amongst radio-television stations as concems programmes and in other spheres. Television is a state institutuion in other societies too. It has retamed this component to i high extent in Vugoslavia. While the state and state components exist, these elements must obviously be present. It is evident that the state is still an intermediary from the pomt of view of radio-television to a greater extent than associated labour, the tree exchange of labour, people, the results of labour through self-management anđ other associations; to a greater extent than self-management agreements. Here, in my opinion, ће some of t e main problems which influence this sociahsadon of television: radio-television is not sufficiently democratic and does not have its roots in the rank and ffle of society. This is one of the basic factors which lead to the isolation in national, republican and regional borders and prevents the normal flux of self-management sociaust integration processes. This characteristic is, of course, not only to be found m radio-television. It is also present in other spheres of society. market, SZ,SS°°.pital etc. AU th.se spheres trre llnlteti, b« on .ссошп of the fact that this is a specific activity, the consequences аге greater. Secondly, I consider that despite the results achieved there stih exist group-property relations in the television centres. They have not > et been comp!etely eliminated. I also consider, if I may say, that a radio-television techno-bureaucracy is still present, to extents and that frequently this republican, natiomd and provmcial interest is falsely shown in the domain of radio-television. I am of the opinion that the elimination of these to a certain extent group-property relations in the techno-bureacracy ot radio-television creates the conditions for programme cooperauon «7„S °oopcr.doa amongs. the V.gosl.v r.d.o »d lelev.s.on centres and for the greater influence of associated labour and the interests of the working class, for programme and other cooperation. It is frequently forgotten that today's Vugoslavia is the expression of the commitment of the working class and workers and of the Vugoslav nations and nationalities, an expression of the struggle by these nations and nationahties headed by Comrade Tito and, first and foremost - I consider - the expression of the rational will of aU and especially of the young generation to construct a self-management, socialist present and future in an equal brotherhood of nations and nationalities and on marxist foundations.
