On the 1st of November 2018 amendments to the Law on the mandatory deposit of printed and other publications were adopted. The changes aim at transparency, which will be achieved by declaring the funding for the printed, electronic and online media. Penalties are provided for non-compliance with this obligation.
The amendments to the Law on the mandatory deposit of printed and other publications also provide for a new special register, in which for each previous calendar year the sources of financing of the media, the amount and the grounds shall be announced.
