Serbia and Montenegro/Broadcasting

IFEX:

The following is an ANEM statement:

"The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) protests strongly over draft amendments to the Broadcast Act which the Government of Serbia has put into parliamentary procedure."

"This is the second raft of amendments introduced by the government since the Broadcast Act was adopted three years ago. Once again they delay implementation of the act and resolution of the accumulated problems in the broadcast sector. On the first occasion, the amendments were introduced to resolve the problem of Broadcast Council members who had been appointed under irregular procedures. These amendments dissolved the entire Broadcast Council including those members whose appointment was not disputed."
