Peza has not agreed to give an explanation about the funds of RTSH and the Song Festival, which in 2023 cost more than any other time.

In the answer to the Assembly, it is emphasized that the funds are determined by the Board of Administration and are not reflected by the director.

"It is the Artistic Board that approves the projects from the professional side and then it is the Administration Board composed of some of the best experts in the field that presents the RTSH Management Council with the report on expenses and income in the form of monthly financial reports, quarterly and six-monthly, after receiving the necessary data from RTSH departments and sectors,

In addition, in the General Directorate of RTSH, the Audit of the economic-financial compatibility by the High State Control has just been completed, for which we are still waiting for the final decision on the approval of the Final Report.

Under these conditions, the hearing regarding the dismissals and the use of funds by the General Directorate of RTSH is a request that is not reflected in the principles of exercising the duties and responsibilities of the General Directorate of RTSH. underlined in the email.
