After the adoption of the new Rulebook on work and systematization of jobs in TVSA, the Cantonal Council of the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina (Stranka za Bosnu i Hercegovinu) issued a statement, stating that they were “surprised by the decision of TVSA director Duska Jurisic to cancel the editorial office of documentary program.”

The Party for BiH accused the management of TVSA and director Jurisic of creating “a new aggressive concept on the being, feelings and needs of TVSA viewers”, concluding that the abolition of the documentary program “clearly will reduce production about past aggression” on BiH.
