History

RTCG announced the creation of Parlamentarni kanal on 8 February 2021, per legal obligations. [2] Approval was given in March, the channel was expected to operate on a 12-hour basis year-round. [3] On 26 October 2021, the channel started airing Info Parlament during early evening hours. [4] On 26 May 2022, the channel started broadcasting on RTCG's website. [5]

Controversies

On 26 September 2021, Parlamentarni kanal RTCG aired a religious ceremony of the enthronement of Bishop Metodija, which RTCG claimed not to be of its own production. It was criticized for airing on a channel set up for parliamentary affairs and would have easily aired on one of the two main RTCG channels, according to an interview given to the corporation's director to Vijesti. [6]

On 25 February 2024, TVCG 3 aired "illegal political propaganda", specifically the coverage of a report of an assembly of the New Serb Democracy, violating the channel's neutrality. [7]
