[edit] Update
RTV Bostel is a licensed Radio-Television station in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well. Bostel says that it has started its 24-hour channel since October 2006. The 24-hour station program will be coming to Chicago and other parts of the United States really soon, by December 2006. This is an important accomplishment for the Bosnian community in the United States.
Bostel's moto is that it connects the displaced Bosnians with their nation. This is very much true considering the programs that they bring to the United States. One program called "Naša Realnost" gives inside and asks for donations to the poor. Bostel's focus is on helping the community as much as posible.
