Belgrade, 7 February 2023

Minister of Information and Telecommunications Mihailo Jovanovic spoke today with Head of the unit for Serbia and Montenegro at the European Commission's Directorate General for Neighbourhood and Negotiations Michael Miller about the plans and activities of the relevant ministry for the adoption of media laws.

Jovanovic said that in the previous three months, the Working Group for Amendments to the Draft Law on Public Information and Media, the Working Group for Amendments to the Draft Law on Electronic Media and the Working Group for Adopting an Action Plan for the Implementation of the Strategy for the Development of the Public Information System were formed.

The Minister also informed Miller that the Ministry has completed the Draft Law on Electronic Communications, which will soon be presented to the ministers of the government of Serbia, after which it will enter the parliamentary procedure.

Jovanovic thanked the representative of the General Directorate of the European Commission for Neighbourhood and Negotiations for the whole-hearted assistance of consultants from the EU, whereby Serbia adopts examples of best practice from developed media companies.

Miller expressed satisfaction with the general ambition to accelerate the drafting of important legislative documents and provided support for continued cooperation, especially in the process of further consultation and alignment with EU principles.
