AEM has initiated 56 procedures ex officio to determine the responsibility of broadcasters for the contents broadcast during the election campaign, out of which:

• 35 procedures because of untimely submission of records of the broadcast content of relevance for the media presentation.

After the registered irregularities had been eliminated, 25 procedures were suspended, while 10 procedures are under way.

• 21 procedures because of surreptitious media presentation, i.e. broadcasting of the content that constitutes media presentation, without being recognizable and separated, both audio and visually, from other programmes, or clearly marked as “Parliamentary/Local Elections”.

Out of all initiated procedures, three resulted in warnings, while 18 are under way.
