Bojana Mlađenović's appointment as the new editor-in-chief of RTS's Information Program marks a significant moment for Serbian public broadcasting. Her four-year mandate, confirmed by RTS and supported by General Director Manja Grčić, signals a commitment to experienced leadership within the organization.

Her prior role as acting editor-in-chief, stepping in after Nenad Lj. Stefanović's contract concluded, provided a seamless transition. The selection process, which also considered Borivoje Uskoković, highlights a thorough evaluation of candidates. Mlađenović's vision for enhancing operational efficiency and organizational structure is expected to bring a fresh perspective to RTS's news output.

However, her tenure begins amidst lingering discussions about a past incident. Mlađenović's characterization of anti-government demonstrators as a "mob" during an interview with President Aleksandar Vučić drew criticism. She later clarified her remarks, stating she was referring to potential instigators of violence, not the students themselves. This clarification, while offered, underscores the sensitive political environment in which RTS operates and the intense public scrutiny faced by its journalists, particularly when reporting on domestic protests and political figures. The incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance RTS must maintain to uphold its public service mandate while navigating complex political currents.
