Serbian government orders assessment of Tanjug

The money will go to the Republic Property Directorate to pay for an assessor who should analyze contracts and determine the value for the rights held by Tanjug.

A notice in the Serbian Official Gazette said that the money is earmarked to finance an assessor who will determine the value for the transfer of property rights from Tanjug. The Finance Ministry has been charged with implementation, the notice said.

The Serbian government took a “decision on the legal consequences of the end to the operation of the Tanjug public company” on November 3, 2015 but the agency has continued its operations despite the decision to shut it down.
