EU statement delivered by H.E. Ambassador Stanislav Raščan
The media law framework of the Kyrgyz Republic has been widely viewed as a model for the region and the broader OSCE area. The EU notes therefore with concern the adoption by the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic on 24 April of amendments to the Law on Television and Radio Broadcasting, which reinstate state control over the management of the National Television and Radio Corporation and require private broadcasters to produce at least 50% of their programming themselves.
