Parliamentary Committee Supports New Composition of Media Agency Council

On Wednesday, with 10 votes in favour from both ruling majority and opposition MPs, the Election and Appointment Issues Committee voted through the candidates for the new composition of the Council of the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services.

The candidates are VMRO-DPMNE-nominated Vitkor Pavlovski, Saso Stefanovski, and Petar Dzurovski, SDSM-nominated Gordana Majnova, ZNAM-nominated Cvetanka Minovska, and VLEN-nominated Nafie Selmai and Afrona Verzivolli, known for her short-lived term as General IPA Auditor in the summer.

SDSM’s initial nomination of Arben Saiti hadn’t been supported by the majority. For the candidates to officially be appointed, the nominations will be required to be supported also at a plenary session.
