Paragraph 60
 

In response to previous recommendations, the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament states that the Broadcasting Code of 27 July 2006 and the Code of Conduct adopted by the CEC on 28 October 2005 address the problems regarding the editorial coverage of the incumbents. However, the Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions from the International Election Observation Mission to the Local Elections 3 June 2007 from the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities and the OSCE/ODIHR reports that the coverage of incumbents during pre-electoral campaign still remains as a major problem. This is especially problematic when it comes to public broadcasters[26]. Recommendations in the last Joint Opinion should be seriously considered.
