Starting from September 1, 2008 all TV and radio stations broadcasting without a necessary permit, and there are more than 300 of them in Serbia, will be shut down. The National Broadcasting Agency (RRA) and National Agency for Telecommunications (Ratel) will partake in this activity.
It is impossible for those stations to find loopholes in the law that could help them, and if they decide to continue airing illegally, they will be fined from RSD 300,000 to 1 million (US$5,795-$19,320), warns Goran Karadzic, the Vice President of RRA.

That information is only partly correct.
The number of stations to be closed by 2200utc August 31, 2008 is 1070!
300 stations which didn’t aplied on a tender + 770 which aplied but did not get licences.
The total is 1070.
