Summary/Abstract: The European Union Law provides the possibility of financing public media from the State budget, although it has to be consistent with the principles of state-aid, defined in the European Union law. In most cases state assistance requires notification to the European Commission. Providing funds with the omission of that rules results in an obligation to refund of the assistance provided.
