Marina Tuneva, executive director of the Council of Media Ethics of Macedonia assesses the functioning of the self-regulation principles in the Macedonian media environment.
Monitoring indicates politicization of the appointments at the regulatory body in Macedonia, highly limited financial transparency of the regulator, and doubts about the legitimacy of licensing procedures.
Monitoring of the state subsidies in Macedonia, introduced with the amendments to the Law on Audio and Audiovisual Media Services, points to a worrying lack of transparency.
