History
Radiotelevision of Herzeg-Bosnia was founded in 1992 in Mostar. It took a long time for the television component to actually start broadcasting despite investments exceeding 10 million German marks. It began broadcasting in 1992 and is still active.[1] In 1996, Erotel was founded and it was considered to be the successor of Television of Herzeg-Bosnia. It had broadcast programs in the Croatian language until 1999, when its work was banned. Specifically, on 15 November 1999, the Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RAK) banned Erotel and handed the transmitters serviced by Erotel over to Federalna TV.
