The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications, the Provincial Secretariat in Vojvodina, and 120 local governments have announced 135 competitions for project co-financing of media content, as stated in the database of the Unified Information System (UIS) of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications.

The Provincial Secretariat for Culture, Public Information, and Relations with Religious Communities has announced today the competitions for co-financing media projects in the field of public information for the year 2026.

The Municipality of Merošina has revoked its previously adopted decision to announce a competition for project co-financing of media content for the year 2026. The reason likely lies in the fact that the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications has urged authorities not to announce competitions until the final list of candidates for the project evaluation committee members is published.

The competitions for project co-funding of media content for the year 2026 were announced today by Novi Pazar and Petrovac na Mlavi, although the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications has not yet published the final list of candidates for the members of the project evaluation committees.

The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications initiated 27 misdemeanor proceedings against public authorities in 2025 for non-compliance with the Law on Public Information and Media, specifically regarding the rules related to competitions for project co-financing of media content.

The Municipality of Merošina announced today a competition for project co-financing of media content for the year 2026, with the deadline for project submissions and commission members set for February 20, as stated in the Unified Information System (UIS) of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications.

The media group owned by Radoica Milosavljević received 133 million dinars, or more than 1.1 million euros, from the state budget in the project co-financing competitions for media content in 2025, which is nearly one-twelfth of the total funds allocated in all competitions in Serbia.

The Municipality of Žagubica today announced the decision to appoint a commission that will evaluate the projects submitted for the competition for project co-financing of media content for the year 2026, although it is still not possible for anyone to apply for any commission for the current year.

Journalistic and media associations are requesting the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications to immediately publish the biographies of all candidates for members of the commissions for media competitions listed on the published preliminary list, in order to make the process of project co-financing for media content and the distribution of the budget amounting to over 15 million euros in 2026 more transparent.
