Serbian Parliament and the REM Members Selection: The Drama Continues!
Ready for another round of political soap opera? The Serbian Parliament has scheduled a session of the Committee for Culture and Information on Monday at 10 AM, and guess what’s on the agenda? The selection of candidates for the Council of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM). Yes, the same old story, as if we don’t have more important things to deal with!
What is REM and why does it matter?
REM is the body that regulates electronic media in Serbia. Their job is to ensure media don’t cross the line but also remain independent. The selection of REM members is crucial because these people have the power to influence what we watch and listen to.
Drama in Parliament
The session is set for Monday at 10 AM, with the agenda including the review of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications’ opinion from June 27. Sounds like boring bureaucracy, right? But behind the scenes, political games and power struggles are lurking.
Why does this annoy us?
Because the selection of REM members turns into an endless soap opera. Instead of focusing on real media problems and freedom of speech, we watch politicians bicker over seats in a body that’s supposed to be independent. Meanwhile, media and citizens remain in uncertainty.
Will anything change?
Unlikely. The procedure is slow, and political tensions are high. The Ministry has given its opinion, but the final decision is with the Parliament. This means we’ll keep seeing the same faces and the same power plays.
Conclusion
If you thought Serbian politics was boring, think again. The REM members selection is a real drama, full of twists and tension. And us? We can only sit and watch it unfold, wondering when someone will finally call a timeout.
So, while you ponder all this, take a look at your favorite media outlet and ask yourself – how independent is it really? And if you have a good joke about politics and media, feel free to drop it in the comments. Let the laughter roll, at least that’s one thing they can’t take away from us!
