The Committee members asked about the Republic Broadcasting Agency’s authority to ban the broadcasting of certain content and the existence of mechanisms which would allow the Republic Broadcasting Agency to influence the media landscape in Serbia. The participants also analysed the work of public services and commercial television and talked about the need to increase the number of culture-related shows on national broadcasting frequencies.
