• Resumen

  • On 6 May 2014, the Parliamentary Commission on Education and Public Information Means approved the proposal to start procedures for filling four vacancies out of the seven members positions in the Autoriteti i Mediave Audiovizive (Audiovisual Media Authority- AMA). This proposal came from the ruling majority and was voted for only by its members. The members of parliament of the opposition put forth an alternative proposal, which consisted in seeking advice from the Council of Legislation first, since legal expertise was necessary to determine whether there were three or four vacancies in the regulator. When both proposals were voted, the proposal of the ruling majority passed with greater number of votes and the opposition refused to continue the meeting and discuss the further procedures. The decision was also discussed in the plenary session on 8 May 2014, where the parliament voted to publish the call for three vacancies and postpone the decision on the fourth vacancy until the next plenary session, allowing for the voting to be placed on the agenda.
