History
Before the launch of RTK 2, each of the other minorities in Kosovo had a special program in their own language on the primary public broadcaster, RTK 1. After the launch of RTK 2, all the programs moved to RTK 2, and started airing there, and thus, creating new programs.[2]
In June 2013, RTK 2 had only 50 employees. Although most programs will be in Serbian, the RTK 2 Director, Zarko Joksimovic stated that it won't be a purely Serbian channel, as he stated that "the TV Station will also broadcast programs in Bosnian, Turkish and Romani languages."[3]
