Advertisements will not appear on phones and tablets, while photographs and video recordings will be additionally optimized and their loading should be much faster. The website is capable of detecting the presence of a mobile device and automatically serves the mobile version of the website. "An increasing number of citizens uses smartphones or tablets.

The assistant minister for telecommunication, Irina Reljin, has confirmed that the beginning of the transition to the digital TV signal will be postponed, but that preparatory activities will continue: "Elections will be held next year and no one would proceed with digitalization on the eve of elections; the European Football Championship and the Olympic Games will be held soon, as well, and we cannot begin turning off the signal before these events are over".

"Draft amendments to the Strategy of Transition From the Analog to Digital Broadcasting of the TV Signal in Serbia are almost completed. The draft envisions a phased transition as well as a test broadcast of the digital signal which should begin by the end of the year. Equipment for the project has been delivered and we are in the process of replacing transmitters that have not been upgraded for decades", said to Danas Jasna Matic, the state secretary for the digital agenda in the Ministry of Culture, Media and Information Society. She added that the pilot network would cover 40-50 percent of viewers in Serbia. "The first shutdown of analog signal will occur in the next year. It remains to be seen how many regions will be selected and when the last and final shutdown will take place. STB devices will have a base price of around 30 euros".

The transition from the analog to digital broadcasting of TV signal is planned to take place in April 2012 and no official decision has been made to extend the deadline – this is the message of the yesterday's round table organized by the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM). A consultant in the Ministry of Culture, Milos Stojkovic, said that the only legal obligation of Serbia was to complete the digitalization before the end of 2015 because analog communication would be protected until then. He added that the process would require changes in the legal framework. Stojkovic announced amendments to the Strategy of Digitalization and other regulations.
