BASELINE REPORT ON MONITORING EFFICIENCY, EFFECTIVENESS, TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND PUBLIC INTEREST OF THE AGENCY FOR AUDIO AND AUDIOVISUAL MEDIA SERVICES AND THE AGENCY FOR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

The essence of democratic systems lies in checks-and-balances that are reflected in performance of regulatory and supervisory authorities in their relevant fields of operation, because key feature of democratic systems is quality control for the purpose of protecting the public interest. In that regard, implementation of checks-and-balance systems minimizes corruption and non-compliant operation in the field that is subject of control. On that account, Macedonian Centre for European Training (MCET) and its partners started the implementation of the project “Monitoring Efficiency, Effectiveness, Transparency and Accountability of Media Regulatory Authorities – PROformance Watch” aimed at monitoring performance of the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services (hereinafter: AVMS)
