OSCE support for strengthening media independence through the adoption of quality laws
Belgrade,
26 July 2023
At the meeting in the government of Serbia, Brnabic pointed out that it was important for her to meet with Braathu before the start of the public debate on media laws – the Law on Public Information and Media and the Law on Electronic Media.
The working group for the draft law on public information and media and the expert working group for the law on electronic media have fully completed their work on the drafting of these important media laws.
The Prime Minister stated that a public debate is planned to be held next month, lasting several weeks, and reiterated that before the debate began, she wanted to talk with Ambassador Braathu about the final drafts of the law.
He told Braathu that the adoption of the law on public information and media and the law on electronic media is a step in the right direction and that the OSCE fully supports the strengthening of media independence through the adoption of quality laws.
Brnabic noted that the drafting of these draft laws had been worked on for a long time and with dedication, as well as that they were discussed within the dialogue on media strategy, in which journalist associations, non-governmental organisations and representatives of civil society also participated.
She pointed out that the upcoming public debate on these draft laws will be broad and comprehensive, and that it will not be held only in Belgrade, but also in other cities in Serbia.
According to her, the draft laws will be available to the entire public in electronic format, and all interested parties will be able to familiarise themselves with them and give their comments.
Braathu welcomed this approach of the government of Serbia and expressed his satisfaction that the draft media laws are getting closer to the parliament.
He added that the OSCE Mission will fully monitor the continuation of the process, and said that the OSCE will help in every possible way.
The meeting was also attended by Minister of Information and Telecommunications Mihailo Jovanovic.
