After the HoP failed to adopt the Law on federal TV, the High Representative will impose the version of the law closest to the one adopted at the Federation Forum session in May. Explaining the issues of property, OHR spokesperson Fergusson said that the Federation TV cannot be in rented offices, as the purpose of the TV is creating non-party television and that one or two channels that are going to be at that television cannot be property of any company that presently exists. This is a public corporation, which has to be a non-party corporation.
