The meeting came after a several-month process of AMA’s cooperation with other public stakeholders on this very important topic down the path of our country’s European integration.

The alignment of the Albanian legislation with that of the EU, the dynamics of the implementation of the changes in the Albanian reality, but also the planning of the next steps, were presented exhaustively by the AMA representatives.

The EU officials, present at the meeting, asked many questions and made comments on special issues in the Albanian media market, while for those directly related to audio/audiovisual broadcasts, the answers were given by the representatives of the AMA delegation.
The overview of the institution’s performance included the commitments for the part of the transposition of Directive 2018/1808, the main points of the changes to the local legislation; the revision of the Broadcasting Code, as a process that has been ongoing for more than a year by the AMA, in collaboration and consultation with stakeholders; the projects that the Authority implements and will implement for the improvement of reporting, for the working relations of journalists, for increasing the security of all media professionals.
The delegation from AMA consisted of the chair Armela Krasniqi, the Legal Director Kejsi Ziu and the Director of Monitoring and Analysis, Arben Muka.
