BOSNIAN PARLIAMENTARY COMMISSION DID NOT ADOPT THE REPORT ON PUBLIC RADIO AND TV SERVICE WORK AND MANAGEMENT FOR 2006

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (September 7,2007) – The Bosnian Parliament's Commission for Traffic and Communications did not adopt the report on the Bosnian Public Radio and TV Service Work and management in 2006, submitted by the Service’s Steering Board, Semsudin Mehmedovic, President of the Board said.

Mehmedovic said that the Commission denied authenticity of the Report, for it was not discussed at the Public Radio and TV Service Steering Board’s session, but was submitted by an email to other members of the Commission who were to confirm the text he had written.

The Commission also stated that some of the information stated in the Report are contradictory.

Liquidity of the Public Radio and TV Service was the main topic of the meeting, as well as a possible increase of taxes.

However, keeping in mind the low percentage of payment of the taxes, one can see that the interior reserves are vast and that there is no need for increasing the taxes.It would not be fair to the people who pay them regularly,the Commission stated.

Because of that and because of many other reasons, the Commission returned the Report for further analysis.
