Paragraph 48
 

The draft law contains fairly detailed provisions to promote equal access to print and electronic mass media during the election campaign (for example, Article 62.8). However, the draft law does not include the repeated recommendation of OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission of establishing an independent media commission. The Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR again recommend that such a body is set up to oversee the implementation of this aspect of the Law and promote free, equal and fair access to public broadcasting[6]. Such a body’s membership should be diverse and pluralistic.
