The Audiovisual Council (CA) will monitor all television media service providers that have declared their intention to cover the presidential elections and the referendum on EU accession. At the suggestion of CA Vice President Aneta Gonta, inspections on the television stations that have committed to covering the elections have been initiated.
The verification will focus on compliance with declarations about editorial policy in election coverage, the provisions of the Electoral Code, and the regulations of the Central Electoral Commission regarding media reporting on elections.
The inspections will focus on news and current affairs programs, electoral debates, and electoral promotion shows.
