ZAGREB, May 21 (Hina) - Croatian deputy prime minister Ljerka
Mintas-Hodak on Tuesday received a delegation of the European
Commission, UNESCO and WTN television station.
Mintas-Hodak said that the Croatian government had tried to
create modern and liberal legislation in the area of information,
citing as examples the new media law and the telecommunications
law, which had been favourably evaluated by the Council of Europe.
She stressed that almost all major weeklies were fully in
private ownership, as was also the case with a certain number of
daily newspapers.
The Croatian government aimed to protect public figures and
other citizens from defamation, she said.
Mintas-Hodak put forward a proposal for setting up an
international team of experts, including people with knowledge of
Croatian, to monitor the media and their freedom.
UNESCO and WTN representatives offered technical assistance to
the Croatian government for promoting freedom of the media in
Croatia.
