Bosnia's main broadcaster BHRT may close down altogether, experts and journalists warn, as the financial woes that have plagued the broadcaster for years already continue to worsen.

BHRT director Belmin Karamehmedovic told local news portal Klix on Wednesday that because of rapidly falling revenues, staff now have no health insurance, and their salaries are being paid late.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Radio and Television, BHRT, Bosnia's state television, is experiencing extreme financial hardship, which is making it difficult to support the functioning of the network and might result in it having to stop broadcasting, the network's administration said.
