BELGRADE The media reform has reached a dead-end and the government should not sacrifice it because it is trying to solve the issue of Kosovo. This has been concluded at a conference on the freedom of media in Belgrade’s Media Center. “Media strategy reaches dead-end” “The adoption of a new information law is uncertain and it looks that the adoption of the bill can be postponed indefinitely,” Media Association Board of Directors President and FoNet Editor in Chief Zoran Sekulic said. He pointed out that the law was important because it envisages the end of the financing of media from the state budget starting from January 1, 2014 and that the state needed to organize a tender for project financing for next year. “The bill is important because it envisages short deadlines for serious changes, such as privatization of the remaining 66 state-owned media, that should be completed by the end of 2014,” Sekulic noted. He reiterated that Serbia was in accordance with the Media Strategy supposed to get media laws by the end of March but that it was not known when they would be passed or how many of them there would be. “The media reform in Serbia is entering a crucial phase and the adoption of the new Information Law and laws on electronic media has reached a dead-end and it looks like it could be postponed indefinitely,” Sekulic pointed out. He added that no reform process, including the media reform, should not be sacrificed for the sake of great state issues, such as the implementation of the Brussels agreement on Kosovo or a date for the beginning of the EU accession talks.
