The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) has published a database with the results of all completed competitions during 2025 for project co-financing of media content, including a list of organizations that received funding based on the competitions, which is searchable by project applicants.
The database was created based on published decisions on the allocation of funds, which were announced on the platform of the Unified Information System (JIS) of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications.
Currently, the database contains 1,850 projects and 689 organizations that have been co-financed by the Ministry, the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, and local governments this year.
The database will be updated once competitions are completed in four more local governments, including Vrbas, Preševo, Gadžin Han, and Surdulica, which has not yet announced a competition for 2025.
The database is sorted in alphabetical order by the names of project applicants, and searches can be conducted using filters based on their names.
The complete database is available online at THIS LINK.
Let us remind you that media and journalism associations (ANEM, UNS, NUNS, Lokal Pres, and the Association of Media) submitted an official letter to the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications in August of this year with proposals for amendments to the project co-financing process for media content. Among other demands, they requested that a database of media projects be established within the JIS, which would be searchable by publishers and media at the national, provincial, and local levels to enhance accessibility and transparency of the processes at all levels of government and provide insight into the database of all supported projects through project co-financing. The Ministry has not yet responded.
The project of the Association of Independent Electronic Media titled “Participatory Monitoring of the Implementation of the Project Co-Financing Process” is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the MATRA program. ANEM is solely responsible for the content, which does not necessarily reflect the official views of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
