The law stipulates that the media are obligated to provide free, truthful, objective, complete and timely informing of citizens, and to truthfully and objectively present the facts, particularly through news and programmes, as well as to encourage free formation of opinions.

Furthermore, the Law on Advertising forbids covert and misleading advertising, i.e. downplaying of actors in the advertisement.<\/p>\n<p>Broadcasting of the video on television channels with national frequency has triggered public polemics between representatives of the authorities and the opposition.
