Mehmeti indicated that the new regulation stipulates general commitment to specific KPM obligations media.

He stressed that with the new regulation the limit of the amount of time that each broadcaster could sell to each political subject.

Asked how the drafting of the regulation was made, he indicated that three public hearings with media representatives were kept for him, for which he said he has helped them sufficient to consider all the comments, remarks, and suggestions from those affected by this regulation.

According to him, they have come to an adequate formulation, clear that even legal provisions are implemented and that the media are not infected in a financial sense during the election campaign.

For example, the law owes all media to publicise the price list they'll sell their own advertising space. There we can't intervene earlier except to show where this price list should be published. Second, it asks the media to offer each certified political subject a free space. It also requires that the media during the campaign identify time according to journals and journals send KPMs that after verification it publicizes those journals”.

He further clarified that there are two journals -- one for free time given to political parties and the other for pay time.

“Aty should decide which subject has received that minute, how many minutes they have been given, at the end of the week those journals are handed over to the KPM and the KPM made them public:x1>, he said.

He said they are aware that not all political subjects have financial opportunities to buy media space, meanwhile, explained that a political subject in a medium cannot have space more than 90 minutes a day.

“In this regard has been given to broadcasters who have failed to sell space, they can sell to those political subjects who have interest, but to a certain limit, and this limit according to our regulation is 90 minutes, or an hour and a half within a day, and these political subjects cannot buy all the advertising space on a television, but only about 90 minutes a day on a certain 911 television, he explained.

Mehmeti further indicated that 6 hours is the space that can be sold for each television, the rest said it could be consumed on the basis of interviews, television debates and so on.

And we've set a limit here, and the limit here is that the time televisions can reflect campaign activities either for free or for free is from 12: 00 a.m. to 24:00 a.m., from 24 hours of the 12-hour program to campaign activities. That way the public is kept with the other necessary information”, he came in, in his interview for RTK Prime”

According to him, this time limit will also lead to the quality of what political parties offer on television.

Up to 100,000 euros can be fined media that violates the law during the campaign.
