Skopje, 7 July 2025 – The Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services has opened a public hearing on the Draft Guidelines Amending and Supplementing the Guidelines for Establishing the Deadline for Acting upon the Agency’s Decisions to Take Measures.
The amending and supplementing of the Guidelines stems from the amendments to the 2023 Law on Audio and Audiovisual Media Services and the amendments to the Law on Media of 2025. The purpose of these changes is to establish deadlines for the new entities (online media outlets/Internet portals and video sharing platform service providers) for acting upon the public warning measures. Deadlines have also been added for the new provisions of the LAAVMS for ensuring accessibility to content for persons with disabilities and for the protection of minors’ personal data. Also proposed is to harmonize the duration of the deadlines for all entities.
The Agency invites the online media outlets/Internet portals, video sharing platform service providers, operators of public electronic communication networks, all broadcasters and interested parties, to take part in the public hearing by sending their opinions and proposals, in writing, electronically, to the following email address: contact@avmu.mk .
The public hearing shall last 60 days, until 4 September 2025 inclusive.
