The Balkans are back in Washington’s spotlight, but VOA’s Balkan services have been silent since March 2025. The region needs independent coverage of elections, corruption, and foreign interference. Tell your representative to restore the services. #SaveVOA #SerbianService

"In a 1987 column, Charles Krauthammer came up with the 'Tirana Index.' Named for Albania’s capital, the index holds that, in Krauthammer’s words, 'repressiveness correlates with electoral success.' In 1982, the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha had won by 1,627,959 votes to 1."

46 years ago @voanews' Charter was signed into law by U.S. President Ford. Why is it important? Because the Charter institutionalized what had been VOA's long-standing standard for journalistic excellence. Mediums have changed, but the VOA Charter stands the test of time.
