At the session on Friday, the Government of Serbia adopted the Draft Law on Public Information and Media and the Draft Law on Electronic Media.
The draft law on public information and media defines guarantees of freedom of public information, prohibition of discrimination, endangering the free flow of information, pressures, threats or blackmailing of media workers, according to the Government announcement.
The Democratic Party (DS) previously invited the Government of Serbia to urgently withdraw the law on electronic media from the procedure due to the "substitution" of two paragraphs in Article 122 of the proposed legal text, according to the statement signed by MP and member of the Parliamentary Committee for Culture and Information, Tatjana Manojlović.
"We are talking about two attitudes that the current government inserted like coward's eggs with the obvious intention of using disincentive conditions to drive the cable operator out of the media market, whose work it has no control over," Manojlović assessed.
She added that the Cabinet of Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, without the knowledge of the members of the Working Group who worked on changes to media laws, added two clauses to the Law on Electronic Media overnight that are detrimental to cable operators and in favor of broadcasters with a national frequency.
Journalist Slobodan Georgijev thinks that, in fact, the main thing is the ownership of the media.
"Should the state or not be the owner? The state said ten years ago that it would not own the media. Everyone supported it. But she continued to be a media owner, to found and buy media. We, as an interested public, told them that they are breaking the law.
We told them that they cannot be media owners even indirectly. Today they tell us: yes, the state owns Telekom and you must allow Telekom to own the media as well. The main thing is at that level. It's about the one and a half billion, I would say, that have been spent since 2018 on changing the entire media infrastructure of Serbia," Georgiev told Vreme.
