Robert Sveb was appointed HTV Director with a term of four years, Davor Mezulic was appointed Director of Croatian Radio, and Josip Guberina was re-appointed director of the music production department.
The former leading people of the HRT branches offered their resignations because HRT Director Vanja Sutlic had announced, when taking up office, that he wanted to form a new team.
The Programmes Council accepted Sutlic's proposal to relieve of duties HR Programmes Director Domagoj Versic, and the editors-in-chief of the HR and HTV news departments, Vladimir Kumbrija and Vladimir Roncevic respectively.
Sutlic said that there was room at HRT for all members of the former management structure and that some of them would be appointed his assistants.
He added that he wanted to form a team that would make a step forward in modernising HRT and take Croatia to the digital era.
A member of the Programmes Council, Darinka Janjanin, asked Sutlic to comment on a letter sent by the Israeli ambassador to the Croatian parliament, in which he expressed dissatisfaction with a "racist and anti-Semitic" statement made by Programmes Council member Jadranka Kolarevic at the last Council session, asking that she be removed from the Council.
Speaking at the last Council session about a letter by the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, Efraim Zuroff, in which he expressed concern about HTV having broadcast a concert by singer Marko Perkovic Thompson, Kolarevic said that this was not the first time Zuroff was warning Croatia about the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), but was forgetting that his country was killing Palestinians every day.
Sutlic said that this was not a recommendable way of communication with HRT and that everybody had the right to their own opinion, including Kolarevic and the Israeli ambassador.
