After 2-day session the Federation House of Representatives adopted the Federation RTV draft law. TV BiH reports from the spot that out of 6 amendments the House adopted 5, including the amendment to article 71 of the law proposed by Deputy Cengic. The reporter said the amendment regulates property relations between the Federation and the BiH TV in a precise way, and quotes the amendment. “Within 60 days from the adoption of the law the TV BiH will find modi to rent its property to the Federation TV, while out of total amount of collected revenues the BiH TV will transfer to the Federation TV 70%…” The law was voted through by 73 yes-votes. The reporter reports that the HDZ was against the law, and that HDZ representatives said they would not accept the law, which differs from the version agreed upon by Federation Prime Minister and his Deputy. Mirsad Purivatra, the TV BIH Director, told the reporter the adoption of the law represents the first encouraging step towards establishment of overall TV BiH broadcast service and, of course, the Federation TV.
