OSCE Mission to Montenegro provides technical equipment to country’s oldest daily newspaper, Pobjeda

As part of activities to preserve the cultural and media heritage of Montenegro, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro provided technical equipment to Pobjeda, Montenegro’s oldest daily print newspaper, in Podogrica on 28 December 2020.

Pobjeda will use the specialized equipment to process and digitize its vast media archive, which includes artifacts, such as photos and articles, from the past 76 years.

“This new equipment provided to Pobjeda will have a positive influence on the quality of journalistic content creation in the future. Journalists will be able to use the archive with both photos and information for their articles, making them more interesting and substantial,” said Maryse Daviet, Head of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro.

She added that, being Montenegro’s oldest print newspaper, Pobjeda has a historical record of the country, which is a great treasure that should be preserved for future generations.

Draško Đuranović, Director and Editor-in-Chief of Pobjeda, said that the donation of the OSCE Mission provides significant technical support to Pobjeda’s project. “I am thankful to the OSCE Mission. This valuable donation confirms the good co-operation between the OSCE and Pobjeda, and it supports Montenegro’s interest and its cultural heritage, which includes the Pobjeda’s photos and archive,” said Đuranović.

The donation is part of the Mission’s efforts to strengthen media outlets in Montenegro.
