The Parliament supported the ban on receiving funding by television and radio organizations from “foreign powers” in the second reading.
After an article-by-article discussion, the draft was adopted by 83 votes, as a result of which, media organizations will not be able to receive either monetary or other material benefits of property value from “foreign powers”.
The Law on Broadcasting is being supplemented with norms, according to which it will be inadmissible for a broadcaster to receive direct or indirect funding in exchange for placing social advertising.
It will be prohibited for a broadcaster to receive direct or indirect funding - monetary or other material benefits of property value - from a foreign power.
In addition, the purchase of broadcaster services (except for commercial advertising and product placement) and direct or indirect financing or co-financing of program production or broadcasting by a foreign power will be prohibited.
