With the 2011 Media Strategy having expired in 2016, Serbia entered a new media policy cycle. A more transparent and inclusive process is initiated to create a sound and comprehensive document. The draft of the new Media Strategy (MS) for the period 2018-2023 is expected to be submitted to the Government of the Republic of Serbia by the end of 2018.
During the analytical phase of the process, it has been noted that the lack of comprehensive collecting and keeping of the media market data prevents accurate market analysis, thus creating an obstacle to development of appropriate policy and regulatory framework. Additional understanding of the forthcoming changes to the Audio-visual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) and new regulatory challenges in the field of audio-visual media services in the country is also needed while regulation of over-the-top content (OTT) services and trans-frontier broadcasting need further clarification.
Therefore, as part of its project on “Continued Support to Improving Media Policy and Legislation”, the OSCE Mission to Serbia is looking for an expert to analyse the current situation in Europe regarding the above said issues, summarize the findings, propose desired goals and measures to reach them, as well as to propose monitoring models. The reason for this structure is the complexity of the policy development process, as foreseen by the Law on the Planning System in the Republic of Serbia from April 2018.
