CROATIA - Television across Europe: Regulation, policy and independence

Television in Croatia has undergone major reforms in recent years, but the momentum of change needs to be maintained if public broadcasting is to become genuinely independent. The establishment in 2003 of the country’s main broadcasting regulator, the Council of Electronic Media (CEM), strengthened the country’s regulatory system, and the CEM has so far been able to retain its independence.

These are the main findings of the Croatia country report included in the monitoring series Television across Europe: regulation, policy and independence. The country report was produced by the Open Society Institute (EUMAP and Media Program) in cooperation with the Institute for International Relations (IMO), and released in Zagreb on 2 December 2005. The monitoring series Television across Europe includes a total of twenty country reports. Each report makes concrete recommendations addressed at bringing the television sector into line with international standards, and with citizens’ needs.
