Resumen de Serbia: : New media legislation adopted in Serbia
On 2 August 2014, three new media acts, namely the Act on Public Information and Media, the Act on Electronic Media, and the Act on Public Service Media were adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and published in the Official Gazette No. 83/2014. The adoption of these acts was one of the main goals set in the Media Strategy, which the Government adopted in September 2011 and follows the stakeholder consultations and public debates that were held in 2013. Superseding a more than a decade old legislation, the new acts are introducing significant changes to the legal framework, which are relevant for the operation of media in Serbia.
