Summary/Abstract: Thanks to certain laws, existing radio-television institutions in Yugoslavia have a monopoly that allows them to obstruct or completely to prevent the founding of new organizations in that field. Experience proves though that the introduction of "alternative" channels of communication enlives social communication and can stimulate existing communication systems to react more adequately to the needs of the receivers. The tendency exists to interpret this type of reissuance as traditional conflicts between the ruling class and the working class. Obviously however, it is a matter of conflict within the same class, namely with those who possess monopoly over the media and pretend to be the sole representative of general interests. In order to end this conflict in a manner acceptable to the self-managing socio-political system it is necessary to coordinate some of the existing laws in that area with the Constitution and to regulate this area through legal acts that do not yd exist at the moment.
