Local markets are on the whole insufficiently developed to secure decent advertising revenue, while contests for project co-financing, through which local governments finance the production of media content of public interest, are often criticised for the non-transparent decision-making and favouring of media companies that support the policies of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the revocation of licenses by REM, a formally independent body that has repeatedly shown to be practically under the strict control of the government, is considered by some owners of electronic media companies as being a \u201cnew cleansing\u201d, following the recent media privatization process that resulted in many local media outlets being shut down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 15, 2017 Since the beginning of the year, the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) has launched 43 procedures
