Article 74 of the draft law provides that “[p]articipants in the media presentation shall respect the Constitution of Montenegro, the laws and codes of professional ethics and shall commit to fair conduct, which excludes insults and defamation, violation of the rules of decency or insulting public sentiment.” This provision may hinder the exercise of freedom of expression and entail self-censorship in election campaigns. It is therefore recommended to amend it in order to prevent possible abuses and to ensure compliance with international standards and in particular the case-law of European Court of Human Rights. As Article 74 is not linked to one of the penalty provisions of the draft law (Articles 150 – 152) it remains unclear what follows from a violation of this provision.
