For 82 years, VOA Serbian Service stood for truth in the Balkans — through war, misinformation, and political pressure.

82 Years of Truth: The Legacy and Loss of VOA Serbian Service
82 Years of Truth: The Legacy and Loss of VOA Serbian Service For generations, the Voice of America Serbian Service stood as a beacon of truth in the Western Balkans—covering the breakup of Yugoslavia, the wars, and the path toward democracy. Journalists call it a “valuable ally” against misinformation. But now, that ally is gone. Silencing VOA means silencing one of America’s most trusted instruments of truth. #SaveVOA #pressfreedom #short

Following the mass termination of personal service contractors, VOA director @abramowitz.bsky.social said he finds "this action inexplicable, and to my knowledge no rationale has been provided by USAGM for this decision".

Ruslan Petrychka is Chief of VOA Ukrainian. His team covered Russia’s war in Ukraine with fact-based reporting, serving as a de facto Washington bureau for Ukrainian media. He explains why millions rely on VOA - and why shutting it down would weaken U.S. leadership and endanger lives. #SaveVOA
