Culture and Information Committee Receives REM Council Member Candidate Proposal

Following an invitation sent to all the parliamentary groups at the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, the relevant Culture and Information Committee received a joint candidate proposal of the parliamentary groups SNS, SPS, PUPS, SDP, JS, NS, SVM and SPO-DHSS for the election of a member of the Council of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM). The remaining parliamentary groups did not exercise their right to submit a proposal.


The procedure for the election of new REM member was launched in view of the fact that Council member Zivojin Rakocevic’s mandate is due to expire on 29 May 2015. The candidate list submitted by parliamentary group SNS, SPS, PUPS, SDP, JS, NS, SVM and SPO-DHSS comprises:

1. Olivera Zekic, political media consultant from Belgrade
2. Ervin H. Catovic, professor at the Faculty of Arts, University of Pristina with headquarters in Kosovska Mitrovica, from Novi Pazar.

The candidates’ CVs will be made available to the public today, at the National Assembly’s website. In line with procedure outlined in Article 11 of the Law on Electronic Media, after the expiry of the seven-day deadline, the candidates will be publically interviewed, after which, following a debate, the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia will elect a REM member by majority vote.
