Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): English,Serbian

Keywords: Serbia; Elections

Political finance is comprehensively regulated bythe 2011 Political Finance Law (PFL) and its limited amendments enacted in 2014. This piece of legislation governs both general financing of politicalparties and campaign finance. The preceding Political Party Finance Law had been enacted in 2003and entered into effect on 1 January 2014; its keyshortcoming was the lack of clear and robust control arrangements, as its oversight was entrustedto entities directly linked to political parties, theParliamentary Finance Committee (in matters ofregular financing) and the National Electoral Commission, or NEC (in election campaigns).

Organizing and producing televised candidate debates: A Guide

Priručnik za organizaciju izbirnih TV debata

Author(s): Bojan Klačar,Zoran Stanojević / Language(s): English,Serbian

Keywords: Serbia; Elections: Debates

Debates between candidates for elected office raise issues of crucial importance to the public. In them politicians talk directly to one another to present their political positions and explain their manifestos, contributing to the improvement of general standards of knowledge in the course of an election campaign and allowing members of the public to make informed decisions about who to vote for. Debates promote discussion of details by carefully placing key elements in focus, as necessitated by the time constraints imposed by the moderator. Debates also promote personal and political accountability of political stakeholders, improve communication with voters, and strengthen the transparency of politics. Since 2012, the Center for Free Elections and Democracy (CeSID) and the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation (RTS) have been organizing a series of debates titled Reč na reč (‘Word for Word’), with the main goal of promoting a culture of political dialogue by promoting well-argued discussion in a thematically focused television format. These programs have found broad acceptance amongst the public and achieved impressive ratings, with broadcasts of national-level candidate debates reaching a particularly broad audience. The debates also received the highest praise from media professionals, and have also been commended by the Commission on Presidential Debates of Washington, DC, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude for their selflessness in conveying their knowledge and experience.
