On 25 November 2015 the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media organised a roundtable with the members of the Working group on Self-Regulation in Montenegro with the presence of the CoE Representative.
The Working Group, established in November 2014, has met regularly in the past 12 months and yesterday, with the support of the Council of Europe and the OSCE. The Code was open for public discussion from 6 July to 1 September this year. Last week, the Working Group met in Podgorica to discuss and incorporate all relevant proposals that were received during this time.
At yesterday’s meeting the working group agreed to hold a follow-up roundtable discussion in Podgorica, supported by the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and Council of Europe. Journalists and representatives of civil society will participate in this discussion and use the occasion to officially launch the new Journalists’ Code of Ethics in Montenegro.
