Glas Juga [Southern Herald], based in Gracanica, is the only independent publication
published Serbian in Kosovo and Metohija, south from Kosovska Mitrovica. The publication received initial financing from the
Cambridge Foundation for Peace and started with publication in April 2001 as a monthly magazine. The magazine is run by Ser and
Montenegrin journalists and intellectuals expelled from Pristina after 1999, and is currently based in the Serb enclave in Gracanica.
It attempts to provide a "gathering point for Kosovo Serb journalists expelled from Pristina, Pec, Prizren, Gnjilane, Urosevac..."
"Glas Juga" has its own distribution network in Kosovo and Metohija, so that it is available in all Serb and non-Albanian enclaves
in Kosovo, as the only source of new that is not in the Albanian language. Part of the circulation is distributed in enclaves for free.
The magazine's target audience are above all ethnic Serbs and Montenegrins from Kosovo and Metohija, both those curently living in
Kosovo and those who live as refugees outside the province. The magazine hopes to document events since the arrival of the UN Mission
to the Province as well as to be a bridge between Serbs and non-Albanians living in the province and as refugees. The most important
goal, however, is to assist the survival of the remaining Serbs and non-Albanians in the province, by helping them preserve
their language, and cultural and national identity, as well as to assist the process of return of refugees and draw attention to
their fate. Also, the magazine intends to provide objective information about the situation in Kosovo and Metohija and
"develop the language of tolerance and reconciliation".
