Brussels, 22.05.2014 (Tanjug, RTV) - Screening of another chapter in the accession process began today in Brussels, with media media as the main topic.

The Belgrade delegation, which is today discussing Chapter 10 (Information Society and Media) with the European Commission experts, is led by Saša Mirković, assistant minister of culture and information.

In today's first, explanatory part of the screening, EC experts are presenting to Serbian guests the manner in which this matter is regulated in the EU, while in the following bilateral part the Serbian delegation will acquaint the European experts with the local media legislation.
