The European Union statistics agency said on Thursday that Serbians used the Internet mainly to get the news in 2020.

A EUrostat poll showed that 74 percent of the population between the ages of 16 and 74 read the news online, 70 percent watched TV and video streaming, 44 percent listened to music and just 21 percent accessed the Internet to play games.

Eurostat said that 20 percent more of the older than the younger population read the news and magazines online and that more women than men visit news portals.

The percentage of Serbian households with Internet access rose from 64 five years ago to 81 in 2020.
