Article 16.04
 

Paid political advertisements in the electronic media are allowed in the period of sixty (60) days prior to elections. A political advertisement, in the sense of this Article, shall be defined as broadcasting of a political video clip.

 

Public electronic media shall provide equal conditions for paid political advertisements of political parties, coalitions, independent candidates and lists of independent candidates standing for elections up to three (3) minutes per week.

 

Private electronic media shall provide equal conditions for paid political advertisements of political parties, coalitions, independent candidates and lists of independent candidates standing for elections up to five (5) minutes per week.

 

The electronic media shall ensure that paid political advertisements are clearly separate from the rest of the program and they shall not be counted within the limit on the allowed time for commercials set by the BiH Communications Regulatory Agency. Prices of political advertisements must not be higher than the existing commercial price list of the electronic media.   

 

            The electronic media shall receive orders for paid political advertisements directly from political parties, coalitions, independent candidates and lists of independent candidates standing directly for elections, without intermediaries, i.e. through designated private or legal persons.
