The Agency responded to attempts to influence the independence of media regulators in Europe. It said independent regulation remains one of the foundations of media freedom.

The statement supported conclusions by the European group of regulators, which highlighted increasing pressure in several countries. The Agency called on state authorities to provide conditions for undisturbed work.

The issue matters for Montenegro as well, because confidence in decisions depends on whether they are made without political influence. The Agency said it would continue to explain its actions publicly and protect institutional independence.
