Unconstitutional amendment to the Law on RTV

The article discusses a proposed law by the parliamentary faction Resnica to abolish the RTV contribution, which is seen as part of a broader effort to exert pressure on the state-owned public broadcaster. The proposal was submitted to the legislative process last year but needs to be reintroduced due to a new mandate. The article questions whether such a change in funding for a public broadcaster is constitutional, citing past decisions by the Constitutional Court that suggest it could be unconstitutional. It highlights concerns that this move would allow political actors to influence the national TV program more directly through financial control. The article notes that the proposed law lacks justification for the change in financing and implies that the intent is to exert political pressure on the media.
