Criteria for allocating free broadcast time
Question:What are the criteria for allocating free broadcast time and/or free printed advertisement space to political parties?
Answer(s): a. Equal regardless of size of party and previous performance
Comments: The LERCP and the 2003 “Rules of Procedure for Electronic Media with National Concession in the Republic of Croatia during the Election Campaign” (amended in 2007) regulate the media coverage during the official campaign period. The legal framework requires that the national broadcast media, both public and private, provide coverage of all contestants on an equal basis. While the private media may choose to abstain from campaign coverage, the national public broadcaster HRT has the obligation to air a variety of special election programmes that cover contestants’ platforms and campaign activities, as well as to provide ten-minute slots of free airtime in both TV and radio programmes for each contestant.
