Controversial amendments adopted again

The law further established the media outlets’ obligation to execute the Agency’s decision without delay, otherwise the decision on the revoking of the license will be forced. The Agency’s representative will also be entitled to seek assistance from the police.

The deadline for the start of broadcasting from the date the license has been issued has been moved from 60 to 90 days. The media organizations that have been issued licenses are obligated to obtain the Broadcasting Agency’s permission for any change in the ownership structure.

The amended law prohibits political advertizing outside the framework of election campaigns, and obligates the media to provide equal and fair conditions for all parties and candidates during the campaign.  

The Broadcasting Law was adopted in 2002. The proposed amendments caused severe criticism by the members of the expert public and the OSCE Mission to Serbia.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
