ABSTRACT
This study attempts to research the position, role, functioning, and the future of public service broadcasters (PSBs) in three countries – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia – taking into account many challenges these media are facing with, and especially the changing paradigm promoted recently by the European Union (EU). The analysis of the current state and future development of PSBs will focus on the following areas – politics and PSB, EU accession and PSB regulation, markets and financial models for PSB, digitalization and technologic development, and providing public services in ethnically plural and divided societies.
