Political scientist Jovanka Matić has criticized the ongoing process surrounding the formation of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM) Council. She views current events as a repetition of previously observed patterns. Matić suggests a lack of genuine effort to establish an independent and professional regulatory body. Her assessment points to continued political influence in media regulation. This recurring pattern raises concerns about the integrity and objectivity of the REM Council. The situation highlights persistent issues in ensuring fair and unbiased media oversight within Serbia. Matić’s commentary underscores the need for substantial reform in how media regulatory bodies are constituted and operate.
