On the 5th May 2010 the Serbian state broadcaster relauched its all news programmes.

Interestingly, the new graphics & studio bear resemblance to the 1990-2000 imagery.

Comparison:

1997 (studio from 0:19) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhmG_pHsYH0

People in Serbia comment that the new design reminds of the time of Slobodan Milošević's regime, the war in Yugoslavia and it is old-fashioned.

It's a shame that the late 1970s-early 1990s design, which was ahead of its time in so many ways, became associated with the Milosevic regime and its "Serbia vs. everyone else" propaganda apparatus. I can see why so many people now find that revived look problematic.
