Honoraria for commission members: For reviewing six projects in Ražanj, 7,000 dinars, and in Ljubovija, 50,000 dinars.

The highest fee was for the committee within the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications' competition for internet media, where members were tasked with scoring a total of 298 projects for 70,000 dinars. The largest number of projects was subsequently submitted to the competition of the Ministry for content in national minority languages—223 projects—while the fee for committee members was 60,000 dinars.

A fee of 50,000 dinars was the most common in this year's competitions, during which 177 projects were assessed in Vojvodina for the media content competition, while only 14 applications were scored in the provincial competition for professional standards.

Significant differences for this amount can also be seen in other competitions. For instance, for 50,000 dinars, committee members in Ub had to review eight projects, in Bač and Novi Kneževac three each, in Ljubovija six, in Niš 61, and in the ministry's competitions for content adapted for persons with disabilities there were 156, for print media 84, and for the improvement of standards 75.

For 40,000 dinars in Sremska Mitrovica, 15 projects for internet media were evaluated, while in the Ministry, 61 applications were assessed for media content from the region.

In Gornji Milanovac, there were 29 applications before the committee members, in Sokobanja and Bajina Bašta 28, and for the same fee of 30,000 dinars in Knić and Sremska Mitrovica, there was work on only four projects each for radio.

The smallest amount was in Ražanj, where six projects were analyzed for 7,000 dinars, and in Merošina, where 5,000 dinars were allocated for 12 proposals.

The most illustrative example can be seen when considering the same number of submitted applications for competitions at different levels. For instance, for scoring 22 projects in Vršac, the fee for committee members was 50,000 dinars, while the same task in Lebane was 15,000 and in Dimitrovgrad was 10,000.

Additionally, committee members in Ražanj had six incoming projects on the table for a fee of 7,000 dinars, while for the same number of applications, the fee in Kostolac and Žitorađa was 10,000 each, in Svilajnac 15,000, in Lapovo 20,000, and in Ljubovija 50,000 dinars.

As a reminder, media associations and journalist organizations (the Association of Independent Electronic Media, the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia, the Journalists' Association of Serbia, Lokal Pres, and the Media Association) have agreed on a proposal regarding necessary changes in the process of project co-financing for media content, which was officially sent to the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications in August of last year. The proposal stated, among other things, that the tariffs for committee members' fees should be aligned according to the number of projects for evaluation, but the response and reaction from the relevant ministry never arrived.
