The biggest cable TV operator in Serbia, the state-owned KDS, discontinued broadcasting Croatian Television at 8 PM Thursday, without any explanation.
At that time, Croatian Television started airing a documentary called "15 Years After Storm", which was followed by live broadcast of the ceremony marking the 15th anniversary of the Croatian military and police operation Storm from Knin.
This was not the first time KDS had shut down Croatian Television at the time programmes related to the Homeland War are broadcast. Croatian Television had also been shut down in Serbia during the broadcast of important international football matches, which KDS explained it was doing to protect the authors rights of companies and broadcasting networks in Serbia.
This time, the Serbian cable operator offered no explanation.
