Parliamentary Drama: Who and How Decides the REM Members?
Ready for another episode of political soap opera? The Parliamentary Committee on Culture and Information has scheduled a session for June 29, and on the agenda is – hold on tight – the procedure for selecting candidates for the Council of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM). Yes, that very institution meant to regulate the media, often mired in controversy and political intrigue.
What’s going on?
The agenda includes reviewing the application of legal provisions in the nomination process for REM members. Are the rules being followed, or is it all political backroom deals? That’s what will be debated. Sounds boring? Think again. This is a crucial moment for the media landscape in Serbia.
Why does it matter?
REM holds the power to decide who can broadcast, who gets licenses, and who doesn’t. In a country where media freedom is often questioned, the selection of REM members can mean the difference between voices being heard or silenced.
When and where?
All happening on June 29 in the Serbian Parliament. Expect heated debates because this topic has long stirred controversy and public dissatisfaction.
The bottom line?
If you think politics is far from media, think again. This session could change the rules of the game. Watch, comment, laugh, or get mad – but don’t stay silent. Who knows, this might just spark a wave of change.
So, do you think anything real will change at this session, or is it just a show for the public? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
