Nine local governments have not yet announced media competitions.
To date, 137 local governments, the Vojvodina Secretariat, and the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications have announced competitions for project co-financing of media content for the year 2026.
The deadline for announcing the competition, according to the law, was March 1.
As of today, nine local self-governments that are obligated to do so have not yet announced it, or at least have not published it in the Unified Information System (JIS) of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications. These local self-governments are: Bujanovac, Surdulica, which did not have a competition even for 2025, Vrbas, Gadžin Han, Šabac, Varvarin, Zrenjanin, Boljevac, and Lučani.
In addition to the 145 local self-governments that are legally required to distribute funds through media competitions, last year, the city municipalities of Niš—Medijana, Lazarevac, Obrenovac, and Kostolac—also announced competitions.
Kostolac has announced a competition this year as well, while the remaining municipalities have not done so at least for now. It is worth noting that Lazarevac canceled its competition for project co-financing last year and has not announced a new one since then.
All competitions are available at this link.
The results of the 2025 competitions can be found in the ANEM database.
